A couple of weeks ago, while John Kerry was telling us how terrible global warming is, Obama was on the golf course in Rancho Mirage, California. Wonder how big a carbon footprint was left from flying him and all his secret service and other entourage to California for the weekend?
At any rate, he did take time out to comment on Uganda. You see, Uganda plans to criminalize homosexuality, and Obama says that it will "complicate our valued relationship with Uganda."
I find it odd that he'll stand up against that, but is conveniently silent when Christians are being persecuted around the world. I find it odd that he didn't tell Iran when we were negotiating with them last summer that "our relationship" with them was endangered by their continued imprisonment of Pastor Abedini. Why hasn't he told that fruit loop in North Korea that we want Pastor Bae released pronto? What about Syria where there have been reports of kidnappings, shootings and beheadings of Christians who refused to convert to Islam? Dozens of churches in Egypt have been destroyed, and the Christian population in Iraq is disappearing.
Obama is worried about our "valued relationship" with a third world country, but where is Obama's outrage for these?
