BREAKING: On Human Rights, Obama Says Malaysia’s ‘Got Some Work To Do, JUST LIKE THE UNITED STATES’
CNN and RedState on The Right Scoop ^ | 4/27/14 | Caleb Howe

At a joint press conference in Malaysia today, Major Garrett asked President Obama about human rights concerns in Malaysia, saying the issues were “up for grabs” in the country. He asked the President why he hadn’t discussed human rights while in Malaysia, and why he hadn’t met with jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

President Obama said that not meeting with Mr. Anwar was “not indicative of a lack of concern,” and said that “there are a lot of people I don’t meet with.”

“I think the Prime Minister is the first to acknowledge that Malaysia’s still got some work to do, just like the United States, by the way, has some work to do on these issues. Human Rights Watch probably has a list of things they think we should be doing as a government,” said the President.

The US now ranks 12th for economic freedom according to Heritage, and has fallen to 46th in press freedom, according to Reporters Without Borders.

He is in fact correct. Although most (but not all) of the fall that needs to be improved has taken place during his regime.

His isn’t a traitor to the United States...he isn’t an American. I do not know what country he hails as home, but it isn’t the USA.

So, does the queer-in-charge think he is going to be taken for real, speaking to a Muslim nation?

Or, is he masking the words, so that the U.S., moves more towards a standard that Malaysia uses?

"Malaysia's still has got some work (human rights) to do, just like the United States."

Moral Equivalencies and False Analogies....two of the highly effective tools utilized throughout history by leftist, fascist, socialist and communist trained propagadists.

I took a valuable, detailed course in "propaganda and its practioners" years ago and, believe me, Obama is highly trained in the art...and he employs this deceitful skill all the time. To the untrained ear, he comes off as earnest and caring.

Never underestimate him.....he's very good at a number of evil arts.

They’re never satisfied, because they want to eliminate the people who built up this country, after taking all their money.
