There is also the symbolic angle of our president butting in on something that should be primarily a European event.You really don't know the answer to your own question, no do you?
What is the answer in your opinion? Do you or don't you think Obama should find the time to fly to France and show solidarity with them and several other world leaders against Islamist terrorists.
Do you have any idea how stringent the requirements are for the visit of a US president anywhere on this planet? And with so many other dignitaries also being there, what the danger would be of an assassination attempt? By not going today, our POTUS is sparing the French security forces a hell of a lot of security headaches.
How many big events in Europe did Bush visit? Hmmmm?
There is a reason why US Presidents DON'T show up at certain events and it has nothing to do with the person, but rather, the office and our own security protocols!
