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.
The loony liberals have morphed into moronic Muslims.
Simple – he wasn’t invited.
les have the true statement ” Obama himself would have liked to have attended under different circumstances, Earnest said, but security proved to be an “onerous and significant” factor. The infrastructure needed to protect the president might have prevented some average French people from attending the event, Earnest said. Security for most presidential trips takes months. The administration did not know about the rally until Friday, Earnest added: “We’re talking about a march that came together with essentially 36 hours notice and a march that occurred outdoors with an obviously very large number of people who participated.” The march took place with 36 hours notice The ambassador was there so was the Attorney General though he was not on the march and should have been / When the IRA blew up the hotel in Brighton killing and maiming many including family members of our greatest allies government officials and a memorial servce took place with almost 10 days notice to attend Reagan and no high ranking member of the WH attended nor did ant member of the Bush administration attend the 10 year memorial service – what is the difference in this case
Oh there I go again being politically incorrect Radical Islamism .
I am ashamed of my country. This was terrible.
Lies!
As an Army vet & Dad with a son serving currently, I can say with all honesty that this President is a weak-minded, incompetent, idiot.
None of the guys I served with like him, and I feel for my boy who is out there doing his thing under this spineless worm of a President.
The current & past military members ( the ones with any degree of honor, integrity, and common sense ) can’t stand his sorry asss!

Why bother when the majority were old white politicians – mostly men.
And your country is ashamed of you! Grow up. The Queen was not their either. Too dangerous.
