Over 3.7 million citizens of the world gathered in Paris today protesting the slaughter of innocent human beings. They came together to solidify the belief in human kind that all people have the right to live and to freely express themselves.
Thirty world leaders, locked arm in arm, led this march. From Angela Merkel, the leader of Germany, to Abbas from Palestine and Netanyahu from Israel these people marched as one in sympathy for the lives of the innocent. They came to show the world that humanity will stand against barbarous terrorism.
Yet, the supposed leader of the free world, Barack Obama, did not make the journey to France. America was not in evidence. Our Attorney General, Eric Holder, was sent in his stead. The news reports now say Holder didn't make the rally. According to Gateway Pundit he was in high level meetings which begs the question, weren't all those high level folks at the rally? John Kerry was in India preparing the way for Mr. Obama's Far East trip of next week. Joe Biden was incommunicado.
Our President was too busy to make the trip. Was he tired from his recent foray to Hawaii? Did he have a Sunday morning tee time? Is he scheduled to watch the NFL playoffs? Who knows.
My wife asked, "Who does Obama have for advisers"? Wouldn't they tell him he should be in Paris"? If I was in this position wouldn't I tell myself, "Know what, as much as I don't want to go it's going to look bad if I don't attend". Didn't he consider Joe Biden? Even this cartoon character would have been able to fend off the criticism of a no show.
If this act doesn't solidify his legacy as the most inept and self-absorbed president in the history of this nation then nothing will.
