Obama: Beheading of Daniel Pearl ‘captured the world’s imagination’ [video]
daily caller ^ | May 18, 2010 | staff

Posted on 05/18/2010 11:52:09 AM PDT by Nachum

President Obama today signed into law The Daniel Pearl Freedom of Press Act, which expands efforts to identify countries that don’t share our love for the First Amendment. He also took time to honor the man the bill is named after, journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic extremists in 2002 in what the President — with nary a teleprompter in sight — called a moment that ‘captured the world’s imagination.’ The Obama administration has pushed to have Pearl’s professed killer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, tried in civilian court.

You said it. Where’s the sheep hook?

Horrified the world maybe not ‘captured my imagination’

What a complete and utter idiot this guy is.

The enormity of his audacity captures my imagination . . . and I find myself acting stupidly.

IN-A-PRO-PRI-ATE..... What was Barry thinking...”Cool! His head’s lopped off!”?????? That was the most un-Presidential thing Mr Soetoro has said to date.

I think you just nailed it. Obama just revealed to the world the type of thing that captures HIS imagination. Sick is far too mild a word.

‘captured the world’s imagination.’

There's something odd about that, above and beyond being ill considered, awkward and completely lacking in empathy. It sounds rather like an advertising slogan for Disney or something.

I wonder how that translates into, oh, I don't know ... Arabic?

القبض على خيال العالم

Hmmm. And back to English:

Captured the imagination of the world.

Nothing. Still, it's just weird.

That is an extremely odd and interesting choice of words. I’m not sure yet what to make of it.

Yeah, they’re going to make it into a ride at Frontierland, Mr. President. If Bush had said this, we’d be hearing about it for years.

Yes he is right it did capture the world’s imagination. Jew-haters and Muzzies had their imaginaion captured as they watched their medieval tactics cripple the world.

I’m surprised this isn’t something the MSM hopes everyone forgets. Daniel Pearl’s “fighter cap” was the understanding that if you kill a reporter, your side wont ever get or be able to buy positive press in any media outlet at any price. The bad guys found out that in the media leftism trumps all and they can get away with whatever they want.

[Obama called it] ...a moment that ‘captured the world’s imagination.

Captured our imagination... like the moon landing or something like that, right?

Oh, brother. Is there any wonder why this guy is wholly and utterly dependent on a TelePromTer?? To me, this yet again demonstrates what an odd duck Obama is and that he really doesn't understand American culture. Obama is the sum of many various parts he assembled during his childhood.

yes, I think it was code as well. It was tacit approval or at the least apathy.

Star Wars captures the imagination.
What those MUSLIM barbarians did it beyond any human imagination.

I’m starting to think you have to FAIL an intelligence test to get into Harvard.

I know it. I can’t believe that a Harvard grad can’t string a sentence together unless it’s written down and projected in letters 2 feet high.
