Obama drew a lot of heat for not joining 40 other world leaders and millions of people for an anti-terrorism rally held in France this past Sunday.
No other high ranking official from our government attended, including Eric Holder, who happened to be in France at the time.
The White House now states that someone from Washington should have been there.
But we know the real why Obama didn’t attend..all these people, knowingly or not, were marching against him.
Earnest was asked by a reporter to address a rumor that Vice President Joe Biden was “sitting at home all weekend.” Earnest — forgetting his role as the chief dissembler for the Obama administration for a second — answered, “Yes, so was the president.”
I can understand why Vice President Biden didn’t attend; that episode of “I Dream of Jeannie” was on where Jeannie has to get Major Nelson out of a pickle, and ol’ Joe hasn’t figured out how to work the DVR yet.
However, as president of one of the world’s oldest democracies, and the one most closely associated with freedom of speech, wouldn’t the president find himself somewhat obligated to attend one of the largest rallies every conducted in support of it?
The fact that other world leaders seemed to find time in their busy schedules to attend — including Mahmoud Abbas, for heaven’s sake! — shows that standing up to the specter of Islamic terrorism simply isn’t a priority for our president.
And this was after the White House had issued a statement saying that America was “ready to provide any possible assistance to France to help the country overcome the consequences of terrorist attacks in Paris.”
Yet when France asked for quite literally the least the White House could do — send the president or a senior dignitary to provide support in the struggle against Islamic terrorism — Obama voted “present.” Again.
So Norman, it’s okay for Obama to send admin fools to Ferguson riots and funerals, but it’s cool if he ignores our allies? TOOL beyond comprehension.
Look in the mirror Norman.. you’re a tool being used by this incompetent POS in the White House. Wake up
ok now tell us something we didn’t already know about obama
David Moore, that is a disgusting, racist thing to say. I bet you claim to be a Christian too.
we know
I don’t see how this is racist… treasonist are sentenced to death period.. if you don’t believe this scumbag isn’t a treasonist you haven’t been paying attention.
Marcus you do understand that he didn’t even have eric holder attend and he was in the country right…? He didn’t send anyone he has his own plane that if he wants to go somewhere he goes. He was probably practicing his putting around the white house… this “president” is the most pathetic of all time.
Fuk himMuslim Trator Scmbag!!!
Corey, it would be simple minded to judge on this one action, as an honorably discharged veteran we have learned to support our democratically elected commander and chief, it’s called being a patriot, furthermore I have seen some absolute brilliant moves made by this president, I just simply have respect for the man and the office, pathetic, I think not. With that being said coming back from defending mine and your freedom I would expect a bit more out of my fellow American. We must stick together, sure we will not agree on all subjects however we can make some positive moves, like Affordable Health Care, my wife is a breast cancer survivor and thanks to this act we have health care we can afford.
It is so sad how some people talk about our Commander and Chief, as an honorably discharged veteran defending your way of life and mine I am so embarrassed of what I read from these civilians, we respect the office and the democratically elected official serving in that position. What an embarrassment to come back to this, these civilians hearts are so full of hatred they cannot see the good this President has done for this country, I will be glad when he and his family ride off into the sunset. It is sad to read the amount of “CRYING” instead of support for our President, Quit Crying, if I were you, and if you must I would be pissed of of how the GOP does absolutely nothing for the tax dollars they are getting paid, they are so lazy they have been labeled the “DO NOTHING CONGRESS”, in 2016 they will all be voted out of office.
