On 9/11, a day devoted to remembering those killed at the hands of Islamofascist terrorists -- and this year, a day when a mob in Egypt attacks the US embassy and replaces the American flag with the Al Qaeda one -- here is the Obama administration's statement in full:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.
One would think this was a horrible, outrageous joke. But it's not. It's the actual statement. It's kind of reminiscent of Obama's response to 9/11 itself. Just a week after the collapse of the Twin Towers, them State Senator Obama published a piece in the Hyde Park Herald where he discussed
“the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness.”
“The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others,” he wrote. “Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity….”
“We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad,” he went on. “We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent."
(That rhetoric, was, of course, before his expanded use of drones meant more civilian deaths.)
Note his big concerns: "understanding" the attackers and the expected "bigotry or discrimination" against Middle Easterners -- bigotry that really never materialized. It is, however, revealing of his view of average Americans . . . just as his statement today likewise is dismayingly revealing of his concerns and priorities.

Utterly disgusting. He is beneath contempt.
I agree with Krauthammer. The statement should have read, Go to Hell (among other things)
Pitchforks. Millions.
Obama is a traitor.
I can guarantee you this. That Muslims will get nuclear bombs and they will detonate them in U.S. cities and start a nuclear war. Can anyone dispute this to me now? It’s not a matter of if but when . Islam will start a nuclear war , bank on it.
Does anyone know for sure what movie is being referred to that would “hurt the religious feelings of Muslims”?
I’ve seen three things mentioned: a movie by the Florida pastor who planned to burn a Koran; a movie supposedly being made by some Coptic Christians in the US: and a movie about Mohammed to made by a member of Hamas.
If Islam does start a nuclear war on our soil, Obama will not sit idly by.
He will apologize immediately.
When does the country rise up and demand his resignation?
From the Path-to-911 to the Apologies on 911.
It’s extremely important to understand the consequences of negligence and appeasement on the international level.

Krauthammer was being kind. I believe the apology is basically a confession that Zippy himself instigated the incidents resulting in death. It's no coincidence that today is 911 and there is no American film that any of those idiots would ever see, let alone exists.
I imagine my freedom of speech includes me taking a piss on and soaking a koran in urine and fecal matter mixed with pigs blood. I think every able body in America owes it to everyone that died on 9-11 to buy a koran and soak it in pigs blood. Time to get ahead of these savages and their Moslem violent religion. It needs to be eliminated from the world.
“When does the country rise up and demand his resignation?”
130 days, 14 hours, 27 minutes, and 36 seconds.
But who’s counting?
Obama lost the election tonight.
When does the country rise up and demand his resignation?

We should all be so fortunate!
No, they are preparing to re-elect him to another term!
Unbelievable.
From your lips to God's ear.
I don't think I could be angrier. Romney starts pounding this now, right now, or I'm done with him. Aren't there any Americans left in DC with a sense of decency?
AMEN!!
