WHY OBAMA WATCHED FOOTBALL INSTEAD OF GOING TO PARIS
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | January 12, 2014 | JOEL B. POLLAK

[...]

After sitting out the “#HandsUpDontShoot” and “#BlackLivesMatter” demonstrations, Obama and Holder were not going to be caught on camera attending a “#JeSuisCharlie” rally in Paris, no matter how many other world leaders were going to be there in solidarity with the French people, with the Jewish people, or with freedom of expression in general.

When they returned, the backlash from their political base would have been too overwhelming: for distant strangers, but not for us?

Simple: Watching sports is the upper limit of his IQ ability.

Because football players are cuter than world leaders?

At least he wasn’t golfing.

IF Obama accidently ever does the RIGHT thing, he does it for the WRONG reason.

His snubbing the whinefest in Paris is a case in point.

Obama should have at least sent senior administration officials like Al Sharpton or Valerie Jarrett. Resist we much.

Obama, siding with the Muslims as he promised. He can not let the Muzzie higher ups get the impression that he is an apostate.

That he is, but it's not because he didn't go to that stupid, pointless march.

The funny part is if Baraq had been leading the parade in Paris, he’d have gotten just as much flak on FR for useless grandstanding.

Exactly. At least he saved taxpayers some money, for once.

I was going to read this article but, I’ve had enough of sites with their mastheads and footers reducing the viewing space on my phone.

I don’t need some idiotice footer with icons for facecrook, dip Shiite Twitter or whatever.

I also don’t need their menu bar at the top as I scroll through a page.

Even more annoying are sites that crowd the header and footer but, also place idiotic menus to the left or right.

Makes a site unreadable on a phone and is just plain annoying even on a large screen.

Drop the hyoerlinks to “keywords” that do nothing to enhance understanding of the article.

I agree that the president should NOT have gone to Paris...too much of a security hassle to justify it. However, since our illustrious attorney general Holder WAS ALREADY IN PARIS it would have been nice of the administration to send him to the scene.....or maybe because he is such a jacka** it was better not to include him.

Heh. Obama didn’t march because he doesn’t care.

Same reason he didn’t march in Ferguson.

Same reason he couldn’t be torn away from the golf course in Hawaii during the cops’ funerals.

Same reason he couldn’t be torn away from his Vegas trip when our men at Benghazi were being sodomized and murdered.

Same reason he refuses to acknowledge his Death Panel laws are killing Americans AND the prosperity of the nation.

He. Doesn’t. Care.

Again, Obama hates the three Cs:

(true, classical) Christianity

(the original intent of the) Constitution

(free market) Capitalism

Everything he has done since seizing power has been to attack or denigrate one or more of the 3 Cs.
