Really, who cares? President Obama did not go march in Paris in support of free speech in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks. He should have, but did anyone really expect him to go? He spent a significant portion of his presidency cozying up to the Muslim world as ineffectually best as he could. Why change course now, just because free speech a cornerstone notion in America, is anathema to vast swaths of that religion? Exactly. It's cowardice or else it's disinterest. Either trait is unbecoming the in the 'leader of the free world'.
But at this point, it's expected. So who cares? That is, besides ISIS and their moral victory. And the offended French? And freedom loving people all over the world? And the Russians and communist Chinese who see opportunity written all over this?
Obama: Je ne suis pas Charlie Hebdo. Vraiment.
