He was demonstrating American Exceptionalism.
“Audacity of Hope” from page 261:
“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
And now we see the political winds shift in an ugly direction...does this very quote suddenly explain why Obama nor any American representative was at the French rally?
Valerie Jarrett made him stay home.
Let Soetoro tell you why in his own words:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

It would offend 0bama's Muslim Brotherhood.
He didn’t go because Valerie Jarrett said not to go. It was just a “parade,” after all.
1. Earlier criticized Chrarlie Hebdo for a Mohammad Cartoon?
2. Threw a film maker in jail for making Charlie Hebdo like stuff?
Obama and company have picked sides in this battle. They're with the other team.
torn here.
the paris action meant nothing. nothing ahs changd. merkel in the front has already again become a muslim apologist.
this was nothing more than a political Live Aid feelgood bs piece.
as per obama i’d rather have him not represent us anywhere.
Too tired after his vacation on the taxpayers’ dime.
I think a big part of it was/is that, he simply doesn’t like sharing attention. 40 or so world leaders? It wouldn’t be just about him.
I think Paris was snubbed because it strikes at political correctness, which the left has come to rely on far too heavily, sort of like a drug (and with similar effects).

This tragic 3-minute video is the perfect demonstration of “fully integrated” islam.
And folks said pacquaio and may weather would never fight.
Bibi and Abbas.. In a chorus line.
Wow.
1. Valerie Jarrett made him stay home.
2. He’s a muslim.
3. Valerie Jarrett wouldn’t let him go.
4. He’s a muslim.
5. There were no teleprompters on wheels, so he couldn’t be trusted to open his mouth over there.
In his own words, in his own book, published before he was immaculated into office, it is written that he would side with the ‘muslims’ if things ever got bad.
Well, as it is also written: ‘by their fruits ye shall know them’[, no?
what more does America need? I believe it is time to turn out this traitor, and all those who have bonded business with him, no matter their political affiliation.
Who will be America’s ‘Robespierre’?
He was celebrating a Grand Opening by some of his fellow followers

1. because he didn’t want to annoy his true buddies, the ones who favor murdering cartoonists.
2. because he wouldn’t be in a prominent position. He would have to march in line with other world leaders, and would not be out in front.
I admire Obama for standing up for his fellow islamists!
Quite simple: a Muslim is not going to join a unity march against Islam.
Boycott? Give me a frigging break - these people have justly earned the epithet of "presstitutes".
