Coptic Christians masscred on video in Libya by Islamic State; will Obama make a dance video?

When Islamic State beheaded its first American hostage, journalist James Foley, Obama took note of the atrocity in a brief press appearance, and then three minutes later was on the golf course, where he fist-bumped with Alonzo Mourning. Words cannot convey the contempt I feel for that.

That really wasn't any of Obama's business. It's sad, but I'm surprised he even commented on it. Foley chose to be there. Bad decision. Nothing whatsoever to do with the US government. Do you know how many Americans are in prison in Mexico right now because their families can't pay the "ransom" to get them out, and the US government does nothing!
The US government does not have the obligation to ransom hostages, but when a foreign entity wantonly murders Americans, the President should comment and should make them pay a price.

No. Part of individual freedom is the government stays out of your life. The Americans who have been murdered in ISIS chose to go there, they weren't American soldiers or representatives of the government. Sad, but none of the government's business! ISIS is not our problem!
We may not be interested in Islamic State, but Islamic State is interested in us.

It has nothing to do with Obama. UNLESS you think NATO's removal of Qadaffi and arming of Islamists had something to do with Copts being murdered.

Obama is a politician. All Obama cares about is Obama, and that the rich get richer. And that America gives the war biz a few more trillion dollars! And Christianity is responsible for much more human suffering than Islam, though the Muslims seem to want to change that!
Christianity is far from being responsible for human suffering on a scale comparable with Islam. Furthermore secularists fail to understand that the things that are wonderful about Western civilization came from Christianity. There are many instances of what have become unconscious borrowings. Many secularists will revile Christianity while simultaneously embracing principles which come from Christianity, such as the sacredness of human life.

When? A thousand years ago? The threat now is not Christianity.

Wait a minute.....does a weirdo who get's off on striking women actually believe his pervert opinions are of note too anyone?
I have some female friends who are into marital spanking, and I came to their defense. There is no basis for your characterization of me, and it would be slander for you to characterize them in any similar fashion as well. You won't have any more opportunities to slime me.

I suppose he was trying to downplay it in order to avoid letting people get scared. But I'm thankful that the Canadian Prime Minister showed more concern.

I'm sure he will investigate and "hold those responsible," like he did with IRS-gate, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, etc.

It's horrible what's happening with that nasty group!

Such a dance video would mean bad press.
