Obama Will Not Attend 70th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation
Washing ngton Free Beacon ^ | 23 Jan 2015 | Daniel Wiser

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. Nazi authorities killed 1.1 million people at the camp, mostly Jews, which was liberated by the Soviet army in January 1945

“”He’s not worthy to attend anyway, the Muslim POS.””

He’s been taught that it never happened anyway...besides, isn’t it great that we (and the world) don’t have to see him display any more hypocrisy than normal?

It would have been hard to top John Kerry though.

Yeah, that's the truth. You have to laugh, or you'll beat your head on the cement!

Factoid # 3001: It was Wilson who was the first President to leave the United States while he was in office.

Everyday this stuff happens. It is like the twilight zone.

Every morning when I hit the drudgereport I cringe.

We’d probably be happier not knowing most of this stuff.

Catholics went for him by a majority both in 2008 and 2012. American Jews living in Israel went 80% AGAINST Obama.

I completely understand. In his mindset, the comparisons between Auschwitz and GITMO are too similar.

Good. Why go through the charade of pretending you care about the freedom of the Jews, right, Obamugabe?

Moslims do not believe that the Holocaust happened.

I agree. There should BE no “Air Force One.” The President should work and live at the White House, and relax at Camp David.

BTW: Obama is a Muslim Jew-hater. I’m sure he views the liberation of the death camps in 1945 as one unfortunate side-effect of the end of WWII.

Less chance of embarrassing the US if he’s somewhere else, say doing homage to the new Saudi king

” It was Wilson who was the first President to leave the United States while he was in office.”

That’s DEMOCRAT Woodrow “KKK” Wilson, who resegragated the federal government after it had been desegregated.

Yeah...in Germany. I think it may have been grampa, though.

Did you write for the National Lampoon?

I certainly read a lot of National Lampoon.

And my little quip does sound a bit like - dare I make the comparison - something P. J. O'Rourke would have said, now that you mention it.

No one thought he meant "If things get ugly for me I'll stand with the muslims."
