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.
Lets see if there’s an Anti – Terrorism Rally for the victims of the massacre in Nigeria and, how many world leaders attend?
He has such grace. He acts just like the low life in the ghettos white and black. Garbage.
He did not attend because he knew the people would probably rush him since he’s one of the people behind it.
those were his butt buddies , he is totally lost in the woods{hunting4golf ball}
I beleive that and no one in congress will do anything about so what’s next
He’s bringing us really big trouble.. BE prepared for the worst..
I believe o should have been impeached years ago when his main focus and priority wasn’t for the good of America. A few socialist, communist, atheist people, (o, hilary, Sharpton, and more) are ruining our Great Nation. It all started so innocently ie: political correctness, ban on smoking, seat belts, airport security levels, guns-and we were told and believed the lies that it is for our own good, our own safety. We are sheep being led to the slaughter and we can’t just talk about change-we must be the change! This once Great Nation is succumbing to the undermining of America. Who allowed common core in our schools? Who allowed the government to decide what is good for us? We allow good intentions to end up controlling us. Less government the better off we are. We should boycott products, television shows, movies, stores, online services, brands, imports etc., that promote or are sponsored by what we know is wrong. We should be inundating mayors, governors, congress, senate, courts, White House with phone calls, email and mail saying “this is wrong,” or “an infringement of Constitutional right,” or standing up for what our Country is founded on Judeho Christian principles. We as a people must realize the dis integration of our families, our morals, our hate, our complacency and our turn from God has created more crime, more murder, more disrespect, more self-absorbed selfish people. Who put everything before God (TV,work,gossip, good times, )and have created idols of our own making and people not taking personal responsibility….it’s always someone else’s fault (parents, bartender let me drink too much, circumstances, corruption in government, police forces and on & on). Why hasn’t o been impeached& most of the congress and senate & ninth circuit courts? Why have a few people been allowed to take God out of school, decorations, memorials, prayer? Why is the Koran being taught in our schools? On and on
He didn’t attend because he’s an Islamic Terrorist.
He stands with the Terrorists, he is one! He wants to destroy our country!
we need to get rid of that muslim
