Around the world, people are talking about Obama’s failure to attend the Unity Rally in support of free speech held in Paris, France on Sunday. The rally, attended by 50 world leaders and millions of other people, was planned in response to the killing of 17 people, including 12 at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine offices, by Muslim terrorists.
Try as they might, the Obama regime has been unable to keep track of their lies and numerous contradictory explanations about why he was not there. But, even ABC’s Jake Tapper is not satisfied with any of the lame excuses.
While reporting about Obama’s failure to attend, Tapper shared his personal thoughts about Obama’s snub of the rally. Stating that he was ashamed,
Tapper said, “I think that it was beyond just optics. When you think back about 9/11… You also have to look at the fact of, who was the first world leader to come to the United States after the trauma in 2001 who was it? The President of France, Jacques Chirac came to Washington D.C. and New York right after 9/11, within a week and a half or so. I don’t think that’s a mistake. And we have a special relationship with this country.”
Looks like Obama’s words that he stands with France, like so much of what he says, was simply lip service with no real action to back it. It was a slap in the face considering the fact that the French President was the very first world leader to visit the U.S. after 9/11.
Are these the type of actions, or rather lack of action, that are supposed to make the world love and respect us? To whom in the world was he referring? Did he mean Muslims or those who they refer to as ‘infidels,’ or non-Muslim believers.
Let’s not forget, Obama did say that “The future should not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” That statement explains his snub of France and so much more.

Simplest explanation is usually the best - maybe he’s just a lazy sack of s**t and didn’t feel like getting off the couch.
Perhaps the answer is found in his own biography, when time comes, who did he say he would stand with? Not the USA. I can’t believe he was ever considered presidential material.
If I was a Muslim, I'd be laughing at how pitiful and weak my enemies are.
If I was President Francois Hollande, I would have gone on TV and said the French Secret Service is going to hunt down and kill every person who even talked to the murderers.
I expect so little of these weaklings that I didn't even stop to consider your suggestion for Hollande. But you are right on that too.
For God's sake, Obama could have come out and said the same thing. But from him---le zéro.
Also the Big Zero hasn't met a Muslim (no matter what the guy did) that he didn't like or didn't want to criticize. The Big Zero is enabling terrorist organizations around the world with his policies.
Nice try, Jake, but a swing and a miss.
When President Bush addressed the nation from the House of Representatives the next day, Tony Blair was in the gallery of the House, his pockets bulging with fine old Royal Navy brass knucks. He ran toward trouble, like the British often do.
Sorry, not so lucky. Not with this guy. It's way worse than that.
A Facebook friend pointed out that the Spurs visited the White House that day. Sports takes precedence.
Liberals think communists want to help them destroy conservatives only, and they get surprized when atheistic communists do nothing when a liberal satire paper gets attacked... Well duh.
Indeed, Sports is a pillar for Obama. So many people at work keep watching sports and worrying about it instead of politics is amazing.

“The call to Muslim prayer is one of the prettiest sounds...”

Inadvertent or intentional. Evil or Imbecile. Does it matter, still has the same end result. Destruction of American Freedom...
