Barack Obama To Miss Ceremony Marking The Liberation Of Auschwitz US president faces stiff Republican criticism for not attending 70th anniversary of death camps liberation
Amanda Holpuch 26 January 2015
World leaders will gather in Poland on Tuesday to attend the ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The nine-person US delegation, meanwhile, will be headed by treasury secretary Jack Lew the fifth person in the presidential line of succession.
About 300 Holocaust survivors, most in their 90s, are expected to attend the ceremony, which takes place at the concentration camp in Poland where more than 1.1 million people were killed.
The preliminary list of world leaders set to attend the ceremony includes: Frances president François Hollande, Germanys president Joachim Gauck and Austrias president Heinz Fischer. Belgiums King Philippe, the Netherlands King Willem-Alexander and Denmarks Crown Prince Frederik also plan to attend.
Barack Obama was scheduled to be in India during the ceremony, but made a last-minute adjustment after the death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. He and first lady Michelle Obama are now scheduled to visit Riyadh on Tuesday, where he will meet with the new monarch, King Salman.

Where I live, the Jews can't even read English. They vote in blocks, according to how their leader tells them.
SNAFU
So the _resident goes to visit a king goat-humper, but ignores Auschwitz.
Hmm, wasn’t it written where his loyalties lie if the winds turned ugly or some BS.....
worse, he tried to help his IslamoNazi comrades in Gaza, the ones trying to invade and attack Israeli cities and villages via an elaborate series of tunnels......by withholding ammo Israel needed to defend herself
and of course (without any known or apparent Congressional authorization) he also keeps sending his IslamoNazi “Gaza Palestinian Authority PLO” pals... tons of $$$$$$ ... which they buy weapons and ammo and ... yes, tunnel-digging equipment...with
and yet, 70 percent of American Jooos vote for him
answer: Israel has, and needs the support of good Christians in America and all around the world. The idea that Israel can rely on America’s Jews is ... well, let’s just say it is ‘outdated’....at least, Israel obviously cannot rely on 70$ of America’s Jooos
the rest, yes, they still believe, and they still pray, and they still try to help whenever they can. But primarly, it is the good Christians that support Israel the most and the best, thank the Lord!
After all, didn't the Dip-Chit-in-Chief's uncle or grand pa or somebody liberate the camp in the first place?
Auschwitz is not a place for Obama — he would desecrate the memory of those who suffered and died there.
Would you want Mao or Pol Pot to visit it?
Bambi is no Mao or Pol Pot, I know, but why should a Muslim want to honor a bunch of infidels who died there?
That the majority of American Jews voted for Bambi is something they have to live with.
Well, those Jews that voted for Obama were stupid. Hard to fix stupid
This may be another communications SNAFU like the Paris rallies. His staff probably forgot to tell him what Auschwitz was.
You’re right! I’d forgotten that part of the fictional president’s fictional history.
I guess that since he’s now running for Mahdi or the 12th Imam in the well or whatever, he doesn’t need the Jewish vote anymore and he doesn’t have to pretend anymore.
The camp was liberated by the Soviets. Was Bambi’s uncle a Soviet?
I was told that Bambi’s great-great-great-great-grandfather, on his mommy’s side of course, was a signatory of the Declaration of Independence.
Obama comes from a real family line of heroes, and wipe that skeptical smile off your face.
That’s all right. I’d rather he miss it anyway. I’d rather see Ted Cruz there to represent the U.S. Govt.
Then immediately converted into a Soviet Prison for their political prisoners.
Why would a radical pro Iranian go there?
I don’t know if someone is posting this 99 second video yet, but here is one, of the man being surprised by the people he saved.

“Sir Nicholas Winton who organised the rescue and passage to Britain of about 669 mostly Jewish Czechoslovakian children destined for the Nazi death camps before World War II in an operation known as the Czech Kindertransport. This video is the BBC Programme “That’s Life” aired in 1988. The most touching video ever.”
The Missouri Ozarks are looking better and better.
Socialism, collectivism, blanket statements and racism... all coexist and in fact are interdependent.
When even someone as hawkishly pro-Israel as Alan Dershowitz backed 0bama’s reelection in 2012, it’s time for Republicans to realize our ceiling is pretty damn low when it comes to the Jewish vote. http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-Ed-Contributors/The-case-for-President-Obamas-reelection
King Putt has no time for such trivial events...
Agree. Republican may attract 40% of Hispanic vote but that percentage is unachievable among Jews: nearly all of whom are “secular’ and “liberals” How else did Obama win FL?
