Barack Obama s French kiss-off - Edward-Isaac Dovere - POLITICO

Barack Obama n’est pas Charlie — or at least, he wasn’t this weekend.

Don’t look for the president or vice president among the photos of 44 heads of state who locked arms and marched down Boulevard Voltaire in Paris. Nor did they join a companion march the French Embassy organized in Washington on Sunday afternoon.

Ruler of the country which second name is freedom. Man, which often talks about freedom and human rights. How can he name himself "freedom fighter" if he can't find a minute to join the other heads of state in France, to show that we are with them?! Now, it seems like in Mali, people have much more freedom and much more strong ruler than we... Why?

The reason Obama didn't go is because he is a Muslim. His alleged birth father was one (and step-father) and Muslim law says that the son takes the fathers religion.

There were also some important football games on television.

I have just learned why he didn't go to France! He just wanted to talk with his favorite basketball team - Spurs!

Now, i agree, he was right and he had very busy day and much more serious deeds, sorry for misunderstanding Mr President!
