Barack Obama To Miss Ceremony Marking The Liberation Of Auschwitz US president faces stiff Republican criticism for not attending 70th anniversary of death camp’s 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: France’s president François Hollande, Germany’s president Joachim Gauck and Austria’s president Heinz Fischer. Belgium’s King Philippe, the Netherland’s King Willem-Alexander and Denmark’s 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.

Jewish votes pretty much don’t matter. Muslim votes will soon swamp them anyway.

Jewish money is far more evenly divided in politics anyway. Jews have migrated from entrepreneurs to the professions whose fortunes are a fraction of previous generations.

There no rational reason for the obsession over Jewish voters.

Why would he mourn Auschwitz? He wants MORE Jews dead, not fewer!

Are they ultraorthodox ago operate primarily in Yiddish? Ultraorthodox Jews overwhelmingly vote Republican.

[Iron Munro]

He ignores D-Day and Pearl Harbor Day too.

[eater-of-toast]

... ultraorthodox WHO operate...

The anti-Semitism of the Democrats is legendary. Remember that FDR closed the doors of U.S. to the Jews fleeing from Nazi occupied Europe during the Holocaust. Remember the SS St. Louis ship. It is as incomprehensible that Jews still vote in mass for the democrats, resembling the Blacks voting for the party of the slavery, the KKK, and segregation.

[SkyDancer]

They voted Democrat, not necessarily 0bama ....

Sorta surprised the Putin did not attend. After all is was the soldiers of the Soviet Army that liberated Auschwitz.

They’re sending the Treasury Secretary?

They’re sending the Treasury Secretary?

All those in attendance need to watch their wallets.

[virgil]

If I were Jewish I might take that as a slight about Jewish bankers.

I’d move from NY to MO in a freaking heartbeat. Alas; the job.

[AmericanVictory]

They should form a PAC, Jews for the Destruction of Israel.

[stevem]

Didn’t obama once tell us that his uncle or father-in-law twice removed or someone else really close help liberate Auschwitz?

[MasterGunner01]

If Hitler came back from Hell and ran for national office, the majority of American Jews would vote for him if there was a “D” after his name. Blind obedience to the Donkeys who will save the Jews from the Christian theocracy that the evil, rascally conservative Republican and Right want to impose on America!

[Colorado Doug]

He would more likely attend a ceremony commemorating the OPENING of Auschwitz

[clearcarbon]

"Auschwitz is not a place for Obama — he would desecrate the memory of those who suffered and died there."

I wouldn't expect him to show there unaccompanied by a surveyor, or at least a tape measure.
