How come the leader of the world will not be there?

What happened to the rights hate of the French? Disappeared when they get a chance to egg Oblama?

He would not have gone there to honor the French, but to say that bin laden is dead and AQ is on the run. He is that stupid.

Isn't Holder still over there? Is Kerry busy with something more important?

Obama is going to be in Iowa tomorrow, then later will be meeting with an athlete.

This march in Paris was important and a chance to show solidarity against radicals. Obama could have sent someone since he isn't interested in being a part of it. I am thinking he doesn't want to insult the Muslim terrorists since they are the only ones who don't like this.

Isn't the VP's job to go to these sorts of things? It's not like Biden is all that busy.

Obama's schedule doesn't have anything more important than this. Other leaders went and Obama should have joined them. It's reasonable to ask why he didn't change his schedule to show support after the terrorist attack.

They should have sent Biden. You know he would have said something really stupid. That guy is comedy gold.

 

[AceRothstein]

Obama going would have been a security nightmare.

That being said, he should have sent Vermin Supreme to represent us.

"President Obama, top U.S. officials no-shows at Paris unity rally"

The OP is another idiot who wants to send the president to a city and country subject to a heightened and current terror alert.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

More than 40 European leaders and almost every French official turned out for the massive unity rally in Paris Sunday — but there was no sign of the U.S.


Neither President Obama or Vice President Biden made the trip to Paris, although dozens of other world leaders and officials put ceremony aside and jostled for space amid the crowds in a stirring show of support against terrorism.


The U.S. did send Attorney General Eric Holder to attend a pre-march terrorism summit convened by French President Francois Hollande.

Yeah, well, they have shit to do so let's have them here to do it eh?

 

[Carib Gyal]

Did Obama give his speech at the closed down auto plant yet?

 

[Shrimpbox]

Our president is ball-less, clueless, spineless, and incapable of original thinking. The rest of the world is now seeing for themselves what an epic failure in leadership we are dealing with in this country.

Why should Barry have gone to France for this rally? The rally was only for true leaders that are ready and willing to stand against radical islam. Barry sure the hell isn't going to go there and protest against his brother muslims.

The greatest enemy America has resides in the white house, and now he's further embarrassing America in the eyes of the world.

The world is in the throngs of pain and suffering over the murders of innocent people by radical muslims, and Barry is here pretending nothing ever happened and talking about his latest freebie idea. He's is a complete and utter disgrace to America. He should be impeached and thrown in prison. There isn't a more disgusting POS I'm aware of that I've ever held the office of president. He doesn't deserve to be included in the pages of American history of ever holding the office.

 

[Freewill]

If he went, you guys would be bitchin' about that also, from the cost of the trip to chewing gum....

Well I guess that is the best reason for him not showing solidarity.

 

[Freewill]

I hear he attended the rally that was held in Afghanistan.

 

[hortysir]

The President himself should have gone.

I disagree. It'd be a security/logistical nightmare. We don't want our President in a mob.
BUT other countries sent people higher in rank than our generic-nobody ambassador to France.
And we wonder why the world sees us as elitists

No eggs.
Only Freedom Fries

 

[HenryBHough]

Remember when Americans thought of The French as cowardly?

Can't do dat no 'mo.

 

[candycorn]

If he went, you guys would be bitching about how much it costs to attend a symbolic rally...

 

[candycorn]

The President himself should have gone.

Well, yeah, but at least someone of stature should have gone.

Except that Obama really doesn't want to fight the war on Muslim terror.

Bin Laden would disagree

No eggs.
Only Freedom Fries

We found out we like French Toast.

What happened to the left, they always seemed to like French Fries over Freedom Fries.

So what?

Six is the same as a half dozen...

Barry is a complete disgrace.
