JANUARY 13, 2015 Im Glad Obama Skipped Paris He doesnt 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 presidents decision not to join dozens of world leaders in Paris last Sunday to march in favor of free speech and against Islamic-supremacist terror. Im glad he stayed home. Im glad he didnt 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 didnt go).
Its not too often that the most transparent administration in history is, whats 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 presidents 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 worlds march).
We need a new song for Obozo:
“The Last Time I Skipped Paris”
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?
Obama is an actively perverting what America is because he hates what it has always done.
Tacky... the guy's tacky.
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?
add in the 535 members of Congress and most of the Supreme Court as repeated Constitutional Oath violators
Obie was afraid to show his face in Paris.
he knew he couldnt successfully hide his glee over all the death and mayhem
Tacky... the guy’s tacky.

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.
I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS
OBAMAS 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.
Time to put him out on out-of-Country terminal leave.
