NEW YORK – In response to the attack on the Paris magazine that published editorial cartoons mocking Islam, President Obama reluctantly classified it as an act of terrorism while refusing to associate it with Islam.
“I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris that has reportedly killed 12 people,” Obama said in a carefully worded statement released by the White House press office.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack and the people of France at this difficult time. France is America’s oldest ally and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the fight against terrorists who threaten our shared security and the world.”
Speaking in both French and English, Secretary of State John Kerry expressed U.S. solidarity with France against the “extremism” reflected in the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo. He also took care to characterize the attack as terrorism without specifically characterizing it as “Islamic terrorism.”...

They said the required words. They don’t care about the murders of people by subhuman savages.

What a great pic of Dorkbama resting where his talents (or lack thereof) truly lie.
Good show!
Obama is secretly happy about the Islamic terrorists attack.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
Matthew 7: 15-20
We’ve been warned.
““I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris that has reportedly killed 12 people,”
Wow. Strongly condemns. I’m sure that they’re quaking in fear. I’m sure that this “condemnation” will help them see the error of their ways. /s
Seriously, Obama needs to just shut up.
Well, after all, the magazine was making fun of militant Islam, so in his mind they deserved that attack.
is he funding the IslamoNazis in France like he is in other places around the world? just curious...
No doubt about that.
“The future must not belong to those who defame the prophet mo ham head”
John Kerry called the slain journalists “martyrs of liberty.”
Killing a cartoonist to avenge a cartoon is terrorism and the dead are “martyrs of liberty”.
Killing an ambassador to avenge a film is not terrorism and the film maker is imprisoned.
Looks like you're 1/2 cup or so short. Anybody want to contribute?
A work of art.
If Obama would call it an Islamic attack, from the Miltary Wing of Islam, then he would be identifying an enemy and that he will not do.
Fort Hood was clearly an attach on on our troops...he called it workplace violence.
We should never expect Obama to call Islam what it is....he will never do so and most of our politicians wont’ either. They all know if they identify Islam as the enemy we will have a world war.
