Whoops, it looks like our athletes "bent" the truth. Obama did the right thing by holding off until more was known.

Obama will always be on the wrong side. If this was a group of American Black Lies Murder advocates that had killed some Brazilian cops, he would demand their release.

Agreed, but this was about this incident, and in this instance he did the right thing.

I jump all over Obama constantly for screwing up; however, I will also back him up when he does what is right, especially when he is being unfairly criticized.

Everyone should respect the laws and customs of the country they are visiting or expect problems.
