Charles Krauthammer: Obama: Charlie who?

On Sunday, at the great Paris rally, the whole world was Charlie. By Tuesday, the veneer of solidarity was exposed as tissue thin. It began dissolving as soon as the real, remaining Charlie Hebdo put out its post-massacre issue featuring a Muhammad cover that, as the New York Times put it, “reignited the debate pitting free speech against religious sensitivities.”

Again? Already? Had not 4 million marchers and 44 foreign leaders just turned out on the streets of France to declare “No” to intimidation, and pledging solidarity, indeed identification (“Je suis Charlie”) with a satirical weekly specializing in the most outrageous and often tasteless portrayals of Muhammad? And yet, within 48 hours, the new Charlie Hebdo issue featuring the image of Muhammad — albeit a sorrowful, indeed sympathetic Muhammad — sparked new protests, denunciations and threats of violence, which in turn evinced another round of doubt and self-flagellation in the West about the propriety and limits of free expression. Hopeless.

Obama said he would side with Muslims should things turn against them. At least he kept that promise.

That is the Danish PM lady at Mandela’s funeral. Rice, Jarrett and Holder were sitting behing the Wookie and Obama, before the seating arrangement changed due to the selfie.

Looks like the lady from the Mandela funeral. Maybe that image was put together.

That’s the Norwegian or Danish Prime Minister, with whom Obama took the selfie that pissed off Michelle.

The photo was taken at the Mandela funeral, one of the few times the reptilian Valerie Jarrett dared to show her face in public.

If you really want to get depressed, read the comments at the Post at the end of the original article.

Leftists really are incredibly stupid.
