U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry defended the Obama administration against criticism for not having a high level official attend a unity march in Paris and said he will head to France on Thursday.
Kerry called the criticism "quibbling" when asked about the absence at the anti-terrorism rally Sunday. At least 3.7 million people attended the event -- including 40 world leaders -- in a show of solidarity against the terror attacks in France over the past week.
"The U.S. has been deeply engaged with the people of France since this incident occurred," Kerry told reporters, adding that the United States has offered intelligence and law enforcement help.
"This is sort of quibbling a little bit in the sense that our assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland was there and marched, our ambassador was there and marched, many people from the embassy were there and marched."

Quibbling? How about, it's just embarrassing?
Why is it embarrassing?
FDR missed the big unity rally, candle lighting, and cry-in after Pearl Harbor.
Oh, wait...
I am sure Obama was golfing. I know Kerry was busy pushing the global warming con. Biden was creeping out teenaged girls, and holder was busy meeting with the black panthers to discuss the strategy for 2016.
We are still asking where he was during the Benghazi attack, something CNN has no interest in finding out.
How many went to support the anti-cop/anti-white marches in Ferguson?
"Stay on course" - B.Obama
Hey now, the assistant to sec. of state kerry was there, what more do you people want???
VP?
You think Biden would be a positive for America???
Deeply engaged? Kerry’s looking for a new rich sugar mama?
Barry stands with the Moslems.
>>>FDR missed the big unity rally, candle lighting, and cry-in after Pearl Harbor.
Yup, that’s right! Let’s use the moral equivalency argument. “He’d did it, why not me?” And the Obama’s admin excuse was suddenly, security? If Obama really believed, he would of moved mountains.
It wasn’t all about him. He wouldn’t be the center of attention. His terrorist friends would not have been amused if he attended. France helped the colonies to become the United States, that’s reason enough for the kenyan bastard.

He is lazy and had no desire t do anything which gets in the way of his games or Golf unless it is giving speeches which he loves to do.
It was a disgraceful act of disrespect to France. It makes us look like we support the terrorists. Next time we need France—they may not be there for us—and all of Europe with them. Terrible day for the USA—this has nothing to do with politics—its about humanity. Obama showing his true colors—thats all.
If he really believed WHAT? That bulls*** "rallies" with a bunch of Eurofairies would accomplish anything?
Quibbling and Quizling both begin with qui.
Watching Football while gobbling down sausages with Reggie is my guess.
