Obama Will Not Attend 70th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation
Washing ngton Free Beacon ^ | 23 Jan 2015 | Daniel Wiser

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will represent the United States at the 70th anniversary ceremony for the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp on Tuesday—rather than President Barack Obama or Vice President Joe Biden—while other countries are slated to send their heads of state.

Tuesday’s ceremony will likely be the last major anniversary where a significant number of survivors of the Nazi camp are present. About 300 are expected to attend, and most of them are in their 90s or older than 100. Nazi authorities killed 1.1 million people at the camp, mostly Jews, which was liberated by the Soviet army in January 1945

You beat me! I was going to say that the Anniversary Remembrance would be far better without without his artificial attention, his hypocrisy... and blatant narcissism.

Truth be told, when a new president takes office, he should declare that he will not leave the United States, except on matters so important, and his attendance so critical, that on his request a resolution is made by senate that he should attend.

This means no more globetrotting. I must be clear around the world that the Secretary of State is the authorized representative of the US, outside of the US, with other subordinates sent as needed.

That’s because he opposes it.

I rarely give Barak Hussein Obama a pass but I see no reason for him to attend; a suitable high ranking official such as Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, or the US Ambassador to Poland is appropriate. European leaders are in much closer proximity, only an hour or two away by air. Further, many European nations feel great guilt where WWII era Jews are concerned ... Germany, of course ... but France, Checkoslovakia, Hungary, Greece, Italy, etc..

They’re sending the Secretary of Transportation to commemorate the important role played by railroads in the successful operation of Auschwitz.

Did you write for the National Lampoon?

Classic!

Basil this isn’t directed at you.... but people need to remember this isn’t about Obama so much ...its about the damage he is doing to our standing in the world....he will be gone on Jan 2017 and the next President be it Republican or a Democrat(spit)will have to repair all this damage.

Of course he won’t attend. He supports the brotherhood finishing the job the Nazis started.

Oh yes, I’m completely aware of Mr. Lew’s ethnoreligious standing.

In fact, that’s why I made the comment.

A Leftist coward like himself has no business being at a camp liberated by men who risked their lives against the German Army to do so, and especially a Leftist who looks down in sneering contempt at those men...thus the Southern Baptist comment.

As for his family being from Poland, they should kiss the damn ground of the United States everyday and bleed red white and blue for the privilege of being here. Instead, their son throws his lot in with the America haters of the world and does everything he can to undermine and destroy the nation that sacrificed to save them.

Once again...Mr. Lew isnt qualified to shine the shoes of the Americans who he’s supposedly representing.

The Liberal Messiah is not sending anyone important to this event, because He does not care about it. He only cares about what he does and those who want to stop Him. This ceremony involves either and so it is irrelevant to Him. The Liberal Messiah has the maturity of a teenager.

I would say this a plus for the city of Auschwitz………….

The name of the city is "Oświęcim".
