Under fire for being a no-show at the Paris March Against Terrorism, the Obama administration sent Secretary of State John Kerry to Paris today to give a “big hug” to the French.

Hey, at least they didn’t send someone down to Costco to find a state gift this time. James Taylor is far better than a collection of DVDs.

Oh, hey, SNL, got a great idea for the next show...

Unbelievable. What kind of effin message does this send to the French and the muslims? It tells them all that we’re not going to do a damn thing except hold their hand and commiserate and console and let it keep happening. If anything we should get TOBY KEITH on the plane. Now that’s the kind of message that we want to send.

“But earlier I heard a clip of him saying something about “giving a big hug” to France or whatever.”

Kerry ... you really said this?

How COULD you?

The speech and demeanor of everyone in that administration is intellectually, academically and professionally exhausted. None of them has the least idea of what he/she is doing or saying.

It’s impossible for any one of them to properly articulate the correct or EVEN the appropriate sentiment, on demand. It’s as if, none of them has any kind of formal education and all their lives, they have been miming what they THOUGHT were politicians and statesmen!

I guess if you don’t read and have never challenged yourself, academically…if your only familiarity with diplomacy and statesmanship is through watching a lot of very bad movies/ TV, THEN farcically aping ‘Gilbert and Sullivan’ exaggerated, comic politicos…..then that’s the way you’d sound, too.

In the end they are incapable of ANY original or insightful reasoning. It’s all very broad farce! Do NONE of them ever listen to themselves? Do they have ANY objectivity AT ALL?

I don’t exactly know WHAT they are, but not statesmen or politicians.

Same message as a peace march... 900 plus car owners would have appreciated this concept before their cars were touched in Islam’s name...

Only difference is that our empty gesture came with a musical guest.

This is just Insulting the French and all the People that died at the hands of Obama’s terrorists

Aw, come on folks. What’s wrong with giving a hug to people who have seen their fellow citizens slaughtered? I mean, isn’t it just so “meaningful”? Now all we need Kerry to do is ask every body to join him in singing, “We shall overcome.” :(!

This is what you get with people who have been stoned for the last 40 years.

Next time the US government is mad at France, France can sent Marcel Marceau to apologize!
