An Appalling Statement from the President

On 9/11, a day devoted to remembering those killed at the hands of Islamofascist terrorists -- and this year, a day when a mob in Egypt attacks the US embassy and replaces the American flag with the Al Qaeda one -- here is the Obama administration's statement in full:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.
One would think this was a horrible, outrageous joke.  But it's not.  It's the actual statement.  It's kind of reminiscent of Obama's response to 9/11 itself.  Just a week after the collapse of the Twin Towers, them State Senator Obama published a piece in the Hyde Park Herald where he discussed
 “the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness.”
