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.
White smile warfare, beware.
Sitting on his duff watching a stinking ball game ! More important !
Ahhhh, poor poor baby! 🙁 He is a sorry excuse for a human being.
@ Mike Kelley….Most Dems & Blacks are uninformed about the “Civil Rights” issue – they think it was the Democrats idea to “free the slaves” – but it was the idea of the Republicans going back to Abe Lincoln up to Ike Eisenhower. Ike had a “Bill” for the Civil Rights issue, that when Lyndon Johnson realized how it would make the Republicans be the “Knights in Shining Armor” and the Good Guys, he convinced the rest of the Democrats to Vote NO. His plan was to resurrect the Civil Rights idea the next time they came into office – and that’s just what they did. He said “If we Democrats get the credit for the Civil Rights – WE WILL OWN THE VOTE OF THE BLACK RACE FOREVER” … and that’s just what they did. Unfortunately to many Blacks are uninformed and on this issue the Democratic Party keep the Black Race enslaved by making them believe they were the ones that freed them!!!
DUH!
The reason he didn’t attend is that all of those world leaders know something that our elected reps. don’t seem to have a clue about; that obama is a fraud and a radical muslim terrorist.
Jack,I agree with you !
