Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will represent the United States at the 70th anniversary ceremony for the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp on Tuesday—rather than President Barack Obama or Vice President Joe Biden—while other countries are slated to send their heads of state.

Tuesday’s ceremony will likely be the last major anniversary where a significant number of survivors of the Nazi camp are present. About 300 are expected to attend, and most of them are in their 90s or older than 100.

He’ll just be hanging around in the White House bath tub eating fruit loops.

Treasury Secy???

Obama is really flipping off his former Eurotrash socialist admirers. I wonder if any of them are silently thinking Bush was pretty good after all?

In all fairness to the Kenyan, I heard the NFL wants to use him to blow up the footballs with hot air for the Super Bowl.

They’re sending the Secretary of Transportation to commemorate the important role played by railroads in the successful operation of Auschwitz.

I don’t have a problem with him not going. There have been many events commorating the ending of World War II and the president cannot go to all of them. The only event he should be at is Hiroshima celebrating the power of the atom bomb.

To the person suggesting he will be at the White House, I susgest r4eading befroe commneting. He will still be in India on a long planned trip.

Jack Lew? He probably thinks the camps were run by Southern Baptists.

There is no one in this administration qualified to go.

He doesn’t give a $h*t - after all, they were only Jews.

Respectfully, while holding no admiration for the current administration, Lew is Jewish and his father emigrated from Poland. Thank you.

I would like my President to go to Auschwitz in honor of those who suffered and died there. When I get a President, I intend to suggest that s/he schedule a stopover there during his/her first visit to Europe.
