Obama et al. "civil rights" leadrers mum

"Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who both blasted Florida in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting and the acquittal of George Zimmerman in Martin's death, with Jackson calling it an "apartheid state" and "our Selma," have not spoken publicly of the brutal beating aboard a school bus caught on cellphone and surveillance video."

Neither has Mr. Obama who, as we all know made a press conference on the Zimmerman matter a few days after the controversial verdict. Of course, it is politically correct for African Americans to assault and batter Caucasians.

Obama is giving Putin the cold shoulder

"President Obama is giving Vladimir Putin the cold shoulder, canceling plans to meet with the Russian president next month amid tensions over the decision to grant NSA leaker Edward Snowden temporary asylum. "

Although it can be said that the Snowden incident is the last straw on a series of  disagreements between the leaders of the 2 most powerful nations. Being the support the Kremlin has given to the Assad regime in the Syrian war  on the top of the list.

Kudos to Mr. Obama for this decision, a line had to be drawn, and he just did that.
