Confirmed: Obama watched NFL playoffs instead of going to Paris
American Thinker ^ | 01/12/2015 | Thomas Lifson

You won’t find it in the American media, but the U.K. Daily Mail has obtained confirmation from an administration spokesman that President Obama spent much of yesterday watching the NFL Playoffs (as I speculated).

According to an administration official, President Obama spent part of his Sunday afternoon watching a National Football League game on television.

In fairness, the playoffs took place after the rest of the world leaders had marched, along with U.S. representation that stopped at the assistant secretary of state level and an ambassador who was a bundler for Obama.

It looks to me as though Secretary of State Kerry may realize that his absence was a mistake.  But at least he had an excuse: he was in India on official business, though with an executive version of the Boeing 757 at his disposal, he could have pleaded emergency business and departed for Paris.  Instead, he said:

'As everybody knows, I have been here in India for a prior planned event,' he added. 

'I would have personally very much wanted to have been there but couldn't do so because of the commitment that I had here and it is important to keep these kinds of commitments.'

The same reason about security, travel and other associated costs for the USA can be made for ANY trip.

With this, we might as well cancel Air Force One and let the President just do long distance communication.

He probably thinks the terrorists were right to knock off Charlie Hebdo. He hated Charlie Hebdo. It would definitely go against the grain for him to allow himself to have anything to do with honoring them.

Watching football was his way of showing them the finger.

If Kerry actually had the guts his Vietnam War decorations normally signify, he would have resigned in protest over the president’s absence, and earned an honored place in history. But as a number of people have quipped, he is quite comfortable saying, “Je suis Charlie” because he used to say it all the time in Vietnam.

He couldn’t be bothered even to send someone significant to show our support

Or, failing that, Joe Biden, at least.

"Charlie Hebdo"

Nah, he didn't go because no black people were killed. Except for one of the Mozzies. He'll probably have Holder investigate that one for possible violations by the racist, white French swat team.

I believe Kerry was ordered to continue on his schedule. There’s no doubt in my mind.

I also believe with all that’s happening, and what we see occurring in our government there are many more Muslim’s there in D.C. than we have been led to believe.

How can you fellows spend time on these trivial topics when Reggie has gone missing? Was he in Hawaii? Has anyone checked out Ft. Marcy Park? Was he in the den with the big screens and Barry?

Of course Barry couldn't go traipsing off to France. The golf is lousy there at this time of year. It would also not be safe for him to leave Negro Utes at the mercy of the racist white police forces who are stalking them as we speak.

Hey, so did I. Can’t fault him for that. Lots’a other stuff, though.
