the MURDER of Daniel Pearl

Barack Obama is this supposed remarkable orator. I don't think so. Take away the teleprompter (with lines written by others) and you get constant gaffs that rival Joe Biden's!
He did not sway the Olympic Committee to give the games to Chicago. He flew into Boston to support Martha Coakley and Massachusetts voters gave Ted Kennedy’s seat to a Republican. In the first year of his presidency, he campaigned for his health-care “reform” and all efforts failed to convince the public, leaving Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to force it upon us — against the will of the people.
Like a lot of guys who’ve been told they’re brilliant one time too often, President Obama gets a little lazy, and doesn’t always choose his words with care. And so it was that he came to say a few words about Daniel Pearl, upon signing the “Daniel Pearl Press Freedom Act.”
Reality Check: Pearl was decapitated on video by jihadist Muslims in Karachi on Feb. 1, 2002. Remember that?
Ah, but Obama does not want you to remember the facts.
This is what the president of the United States said: “Obviously, the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination because it reminded us of how valuable a free press is.”
Huh? What has Daniel Pearl and his murder to do with a free press?
Obama is talking about a dead man here, a guy slaughtered for all the world to see. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed & company murdered Daniel because he was Jewish, not because he was a reporter. His family is standing there and all Obama can come up with is a lame non-sequitur about a free press and imagination.
Which, in its clumsiness and shmuckiness, is most revealing. First of all, note the passivity: “The loss of Daniel Pearl.” He wasn’t “lost.” He was kidnapped and beheaded. He was murdered on a snuff video. He was specifically targeted, seized as a trophy, a high-value scalp.
Pesky things, those facts.
