Once the massive unity march in Paris was a definite go, there were more than a few people on social media asking how it was that Barack Obama wasn’t going to be there. I’ll play Devil’s advocate here and just say what we’re all thinking in terms of answering those detractors. Hey… those golf balls ain’t gonna hit themselves, ya know.
Apparently Joe Biden was also busy, but never fear. The President sent Eric Holder. I know he was there because he was doing all of the Sunday shows from Paris. Then cable news ground to a halt for one of the more impressive shots you will ever see; one of the biggest collections of world leaders to be found anywhere, and they were outside in the cold and the rain, locking arms and marching in unity with the people of France as they stood up to Islamic terrorism. Here’s just one of the many media shots which captured the rather historic moment.

But wait… isn’t somebody missing from this picture? In what is possibly one of the worst games of Where’s Waldo in history, the fine folks at Weasel Zippers notice that Eric Holder doesn’t seem to be on the scene.

CNN just reported Eric Holder did not attend
#ParisMarch because he was attending high level
meetings. With whom? Everyone was at rally.
11:21 AM - 11 Jan 2015
There’s a photo at the link of Holder with some of the leaders standing on the steps of a building for a photo op, but he was otherwise busy for the actual rally.
Attorney General Eric Holder is in Paris this week to attend a meeting on fighting terrorism, but did not participate in a march with world leaders Sunday to honor the 17 people killed last week in France.
More than 40 world leaders marched arm in arm through Paris to rally for unity and freedom of expression and to honor the victims of the three days of terrorist attacks.
Swinging back to WZ for the full list, here are the world leaders who actually showed up and walked the walk.
Left to right: Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Union President Donald Tusk, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, Jordan’s Queen Rania, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and other guests
Oh, man. We didn’t even manage to qualify for … and other guests.
anyone (43) who flew fighter aircraft, combat or not; and anyone with the military record of 41, can hardly be called “weaklings.”
Good. Marching is stupid, weak, and pointless. Like honking the horn when someone cuts you off. An admission of powerlessness. Only the accurate delivery of ordnance means anything. And, we are sure BO will not be doing much of that against his Muslim brothers.
Of course they can. weaklings, weaklings, weaklings. Both Bushes. And momma Bush too. And Jeb. the whole clan are weaklings. And, may I remind you that John Kerry served in Vietnam.
As War Presidents? Incredibly weak.
I take my hat off to anyone who has flown fighter jets. They have exhibited commendable bravery.
But bravery and strength of character are not the same thing. Both Bushes failed to define the enemy, failed to define victory, and both failed to achieve it.
Bush #1, of course, failed because of his stupid "coalition". It was so important to him to kiss muslim ass that he did not appreciate the benefits of overwhelming victory.
Bush #2? Where can one start? "Religion of peace" was a reason to resign. Not getting a declaration of war against Saudi Arabia and Pakistan? Attacking Iraq as the path of least resistance? Allowing Barbara Boxer and every Member of Congress with a skirt to fly over to Afghanistan and try to tell them what to do with their women? Sheesh!
Both men had brass balls to fly those planes. Both were pathetic weaklings as Commanders-in-Chief. FDR couldn't even walk, much less fly fighters, but he know how to fight a war all the way up to nuke 'em till they glow so we could shoot 'em in the dark. This "war" should have been over in six weeks. Instead, failure after failure, all born of weakness, brought us "Obama" and his whole retinue.
CYA thru the French/Yemeni networks to cover up the Benghazi arms smuggle job. The one where McCain said we were working with moderate rebels against Assad— when what we were really doing, with the help of Turkey (who, btw is quite annoyed Netanyahu marched with the world leaders)— was arming ISIS. The operation that Feinstein said that Petraeus “had sufferred enough” for, as she covers up for Hitlery. Holder said to be thinking over prosecuting Petraeus for Benghazi-— can you imagine? Why— to cover HIS OWN A@@, and obamaumao’s help to the caliphate— which Petraeus knows all about. The arms went by ship to Turkey!
The obmaumao wing of the demorat party is guarding it’s financial rear— the same rear that protects the number one concern of the french underworld— the free flow of the number one product of islam in Afghanistan-— heroin. This is serious world wide narco terrorism writ large. Makes cocaine look like baby powder (and regionally similar system of finance for the Left, in S. America).
In the face of the crash of the oil barrel— there are other means of terror support, and Holder’s game is seriously up. He should be impeached/and convicted for Fast and Furious, alone. Which is why he suddenly resigned thanks to Judicial Watch.
