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.
Tracy Smolnik lol if it were a photo op the rat in chief would’ve broken his lying neck to get there.
Excuses
impeach and prosecute this trator and lier.homosexual.now
Obummer has a moral right to support the citizens of the US not Fight Anti-Jihad articles, he is trying to hide what goes on in the world so he really supports Jihadist. should be enough to impeach him.
Does anyone remember the stance that France had against us after 9-11? We received no help in our war against terrorism from the French claiming that it was our problem and now they complain about us not helping them. The newspaper was an atheist paper and our stance of one nation under God is kind of hypocritical. The idiots that say our president is disrespectful is preposterous and people get a grip and shut it down.
he is a terriost he promotes it sure dont do anything to stop it
It amazes me that we can stop Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden but can’t stop Barack Obama.
Yup…so right
If this is a sarcastic comment John I’m right with you.
Wrong Nancy Colagte. Do some research before you comment on something you know nothing about.
