No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

While I can respect this statement, I can never respect Obama trying to get google to ban that video. I think it shows that he respects sensitivity more than the freedom of speech. I was extremely disappointed in him for that, although it's hardly the first time he's proven extremely disappointing. Liberals forgive, and even defend Obama for doing and saying things that they would crucify George Bush for.
I am also against Obama's attempt to get this video banned. Free speech, even unsavory speech, is a protected right. It's the idiots in the Middle East who just couldn't shrug it off are the problem. Restricting the video only delays the inevitable clash between the West (free speech) and the Islamic fundamentalists.
I'd also throw in I'm not happy about Obama's continued policy of indefinite detention, which is a clear violation of the constitution.
He's not perfect, but he's better than the alternative.
