Yes, the march means nothing, but this is a matter of optics. Obama should have been there to at least look like he actually stands against terrorism. That he didn't bother to show up, but rather, send his lackey (who doesn't appear in any of the photos from the march), makes it evident to the rest of the world that Obama doesn't care. We all know he doesn't, but now the rest of the world knows too.

Uh, no.

I don't want the chief executive of any organization -- let alone an entire country -- showing up somewhere just to "look like" he does or feels anything.

Bibi was there. Sarah would have been there. That says it all.

So when the rest of the world is getting it, we just act like it never happened? Funny way to invite those who cowered in a PC huddle to the game when they discover that it was the PC that got them there.

That same lackey who is releasing terrorists from Gitmo.
