Only major ally leader missing - Obama
Only flag missing - USA
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu marched with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas while Ukranian
President Petro Poroshenko and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a
stunning show of world solidarity in Paris
today.
For one moment in time,
the world seemed to come together, racial, religious, ethnic and cultural
differences seemed to melt into the background. Paris and the French became the capital of the
world as the top world leaders came to Paris
to work toward a better world.
Missing, President Barack Obama,
who returned from a Hawaiian vacation and spent the past three days promoting
his manufacturing agenda and community college giveaway program in Tennessee and other states.
Okay, he really did become
the only western ally to skip the most important gathering of leaders to
support the needs of the people in modern world history. Now that is a mouth full. Why in the world was the leader of the only
Super-power and most important ally of most European nations missing from the
world stage?
To add insult to injury,
while Putin sent his Prime Minister, the second in command, Obama seemed to
think it was better to keep Vice President Joe Biden home with him touring
manufacturing facilities, one of which was not even open. Nor did Obama send a key cabinet official to
represent him, or members of the House and Senate to give their support.
Fact is, only Attorney
General Eric Holder was at the March and that was because he went to Paris to attend a meeting
today, Sunday, on terrorism security, and just happened to be there for the
March. Holder had previously resigned
and will not even be around for more than a few weeks at best.
Well three million people
felt it was important to be there, and nearly 50 top leaders of the world. So where was Obama, certainly never one to
miss a media opportunity nor hesitate to do just about anything to distract
people from thinking about his record of achievement?
There were no American
flags seen and no top ranking government official to share the concern,
solidarity, and prayers for the French victims and French people.
What a shame President
Obama. What a way to treat our oldest
and most loyal ally and the wonderful French people.
