President Obama requested Google (the parent company of YouTube) to remove a film clip that criticizes Mohammed, whom the Muslim consider a prophet and founder of Islam. President Obama and his administration have blamed the American-based filmmaker for the attacks against American embassies and the deaths of four Americans in Libya.
Obama wants to focus on this film clip and not the real enemies. Obama says he wants to pull the film clip because it "violates the universal right to religious expression." However, censoring a film critical of a religion (Islam) violates the free speech and values of another religion (Christianity).
Obama has taken sides with the Islamic supremacists -- though not to their same extremist view of death to non-Muslims. But Obama has caved to their intolerant demand by trying to censor the American's right to free speech.
To simplify -- the film has nothing to do with the premeditated attacks on Americans on the 11th anniversary of 9/11. The terrorists organized the attacks with the Libyan security forces well in advance of the film clip. Few people saw or care about one man's video critical of Islam. The media and the White House gave the film all the attention as a means to distract from Obama's complete foreign policy failures and anti-American values of free speech.

That's just wrong. So we have to appease the terrorist?reply - Troy KilrQueen 2012/09/16 23:16:10I think Judge Judy taught me an Americanism for it, we are supposed to "suck it up"reply
- KilrQueen Troy 2012/09/16 23:21:49Yeah...that's what Obama would love for us to do....just stick our heads in the sand and never say a mean word to anyone. There was a Sandra Bullock movie along those lines...they were fined if they said something mean or cursed.reply
- JMCC 2012/09/15 01:04:08YesWhen it puts the people overseas lives in more danger - I have no problem at all with them pulling it...
reply - TheTruth1313 2012/09/15 01:03:53No+3Obama's been attempting to chip away at the first amendment pretty much from day one. I'm glad Google told the dictator in chief obama to shove it.reply
- NotTargetMaterial 2012/09/15 00:58:23No+2Apparently not if they want to pull the film. What is the white house gonna pull next?reply
- NPC 2012/09/15 00:56:39No+3It was too late to remove this video anyway. Barack cannot tell any private corporation what to say or do under The First Amendment. The video was not a crime or felony under American law. Who knows what will happen now that 4 important Americans have been murdered in Benghazi ? Maybe the 50 special forces anti-terrorist Marines will kick some muslime terrorist ass ?reply
- Kat 2012/09/15 00:53:51No+1In no way, he is signing stuff all the time to limit speech.reply
- flrdsgns 2012/09/15 00:53:32Yes+1A request is not the same as a demand. You might want to look up the definition of the two words there fefreply
