I’m Glad Obama Skipped Paris [Obama A National Curse!]
National Review | January 13, 2015 | Andrew C. McCarthy

JANUARY 13, 2015 I’m Glad Obama Skipped Paris He doesn’t really believe in protecting speech critical of Islam. By Andrew C. McCarthy

Unlike many conservatives, I was not outraged when President Obama directed the Justice Department to end the pretense of “defending” the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). I feel the same way about the president’s decision not to join dozens of world leaders in Paris last Sunday to march in favor of free speech and against Islamic-supremacist terror. I’m glad he stayed home. I’m glad he didn’t send Vice President Biden (whose main job is to attend such exhibitions), Secretary of State Kerry (whose main job escapes me), or Attorney General Holder (who was in Paris but still didn’t go).

It’s not too often that the “most transparent administration in history” is, what’s the word? . . . transparent.

To be sure, in the immediate time frame of these decisions, Obama was moved more by frivolity than by principle. On DOMA, he needed to make a gesture to well-heeled donors on the left who, in their frustration over the president’s too-slow “evolution” on gay marriage, were withholding campaign cash. As for Paris, I suspect Obama wanted to watch the pro-football playoffs (which is why — shades of Benghazi! — the White House refused to reveal what the Leader From Behind Of The Free World was doing in lieu of attending the free world’s march).

We need a new song for Obozo:

“The Last Time I Skipped Paris”

Speaking of curses.

A president who takes his solemn oath with no intention of honoring his oath curses himself before God.

How many times has he taken a solemn oath?

Why shouldn’t he skip Paris. Heck, he skips the U. S. often enough.

his showing up could have been interpreted as a statement against IslamoNazi terror and murders

that’s why he wasn’t there

simple

Yeah, he’s not only tacky but he is also running around with no blessings from God.

He also can’t stand to share the stage.

He’d only have gone if he could have had the stage all by himself. You know, the one with the two fake Greek columns.

Did he really miss much?

The arm-in-arm of the Euro leaders was more symbol over substance.

What ARE they going to do WHEN the next attack happens. At least, some of them are calling it what it is — Islamist terrorism. Will France now arm their police? Or will they continue the political correctness and try really, really harder to not upset the mussies?

Worse, a sheite stained disgrace to the race-both of them.

Think your tagline is originally accredited to Emiliano Zapata or François-Noël Gracchus Babeu.

Actually, I wouldn’t attend the rally either. Seems like your typical feel good do nothing rally that won’t point fingers at the enemy of Islam.

He took the oath of office twice. The first time (on the Bible) he flubbed it. The second time we didn’t get to see if the Bible was used.

You are right and to the point, Obama brags that he always be on the side of the Islamists.

I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS

OBAMA’S ISLAM TROYAN HORSE

The enemy is Islam, but the biggest mortal enemies of the French people were leading the rally. The process that’s causing the French to lose their country was affirmed.

Exactly and I am still concerned about that whole thing, what the heck happened.
That oath wasn’t discussed, nor questioned at all in the main stream media at the time, if I remember correctly.
