in the case of an entertainment company releasing a movie criticizing a dictator, Obama is perfectly comfortable telling that entertainment company what it should and shouldn't do.
But in the case of a news company printing editorial content criticizing Islam, Obama suddenly has no opinion whatsoever on the matter.
...
Obama's preference that news organizations not publish any material that might offend Muslims was also evident in his September 2012 address to the United Nations where he said, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."
So which is it?
Does the future belong Charlie Hedbo, Sony, and freedom of speech?
Or does it belong to North Korea and terrorists who kill in the name of Islam?

Per Obama:
“No Free Speech for Christians and Conservatives.”
“We’ll decide who is a terrorist.”
America seems so nonchalant about the whole thing, disturbing.
Just so we remember:
Letterman asked Obama specifically about the Benghazi attack, and the president responded by bringing up the video. Heres the exchange:
LETTERMAN: Now, I dont understand, um, the ambassador to Libya killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi. Is this an act of war? Are we at war now? What happens here?
OBAMA: Here’s what happened. ... You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who — who made an extremely offensive video directed at — at Mohammed and Islam —
LETTERMAN: Making fun of the Prophet Mohammed.
OBAMA: Making fun of the Prophet Mohammed. And so, this caused great offense in much of the Muslim world. But what also happened, extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of our embassies, including the one, the consulate in Libya.
The “video maker”was a “shadowy character” who made and extremely offensive video making fun of the PROPHET MOHAMMED. Charle Hebdo cartoonists were “martyrs for liberty”, exercising their “expression of freedom?
Seems to be some confusion.
I see so far there are no replies to your post. IMHO, I just want to say I think it is abusive. We (our nation) may have been wounded but we are not dead.
This is from a Viet Nam veteran.

That is all. I am as patriotic as you can get.
But what Obama is doing is reprehensible.
He has damaged us and that poor dead eagle represents it.
He may have damaged us, but we are not 6 feet under, yet.
The oathkeepers will never allow that to happen.
Sort of like when I saw, "Silent Scream."
That may be the current reality, but it is not the end results.
The difference is WE HAVE THE ABILITY, DESIRE, AND DUTY TO FIGHT BACK.
...and we will...
I understand the end result.
