So, President Barack Obama skipped the French anti-terror unity march.

Obama, Kerry absent from unity rally in Paris

Holder, top US official in Paris for terror talks, not seen at unity march

The roll call of world leaders who were in the march here.  Just to be snarky, let me point out that both the US and Iran sent no top officials. 


RedState  "There is a very simple explanation for this: “President Barack Obama will not join other world leaders at Sunday’s Paris march in tribute to the victims of this week’s Islamist attacks in France, a US official told AFP.” Basically, President Obama legitimately and genuinely does not understand why it is necessary for him – or a sufficiently dignified surrogate* – to represent our country at an activity such as this.  From Obama’s point of view, since no American was attacked, no American was killed, and no American was involved he clearly thinks that our involvement in this matter is thus unnecessary. And since the formal solace and condolences from foreign dignitaries would offer no comfort to him in similar circumstances, Barack Obama apparently feels that offering his own detached sympathies would be essentially equally pointless.

 "I think that the last few years have demonstrated pretty clearly why the American people default to looking to the Republican party for their foreign policy cues."

This is how it was seen by our allies in the United Kingdom: America snubs historic Paris rally: Holder skipped out of proceedings early, Kerry was in India, Obama and Biden just stayed home
"Neither President Obama or Vice President Joe Biden attended the historic event,  though both of their schedules were open" (Emphasis in the original)

 "Fox News host Greta Van Susteren said: 'This is really embarrassing - WHERE IS PRESIDENT OBAMA? Why didn't he go?'  

"While the President Obama is a busy man, his absence at the show of international solidarity was notable, considering his schedule was wide open today.

"Vice President Joe Biden often fills in for the president at events like this, but he was no where to be seen either, despite his similarly empty schedule.

"Most remarkable was the fact that Holder, one of the top members of Obama's cabinet, was in Paris on Sunday - but skipped the rally." . . .

Remember How Obama Regime Sent 3 Representatives To Mike Brown’s Funeral?

 "Fast forward to today where Obama snubbed France by failing to attend, or send any top officials, to a rally against Islamic terrorism in Paris attended by more than 50 world leaders."
