You're probably going to get flamed for this, but you're right on target here.

I don't understand the fixation so many conservatives have with a U.S. leader attending a silly "march for unity" in a foreign country.

The most likely reason is that Obama is tied
directly, by financing, by weapons, by intel,
.... to the murdering, Islamic terrorists.

Where has the world community been when Israel has been attacked since 1948? Where is the world with 6,000 missiles being fired into Israel from Gaza, first under Arafart and then HAMAS?
Where is the world when Jews praying in a synagogue are hacked to death by Paleostinian so-called freedom fighters? Where is the world reigning in Muhmoud Abbas supporting PLO terror against Jews but marching with the French in Paris. Where is the shame?

Yes, the march means nothing, but this is a matter of optics. Obama should have been there to at least look like he actually stands against terrorism. That he didn't bother to show up, but rather, send his lackey (who doesn't appear in any of the photos from the march), makes it evident to the rest of the world that Obama doesn't care. We all know he doesn't, but now the rest of the world knows too.

Good article. But I can’t help to suspect that with a huge public spectacle such as this, the only reason this administration didn’t show up, is perhaps they were asked NOT to show up.

Note how the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave hasn’t given a real reason for not being there.

And think about: The way the political winds are blowing in Europe these days, it probably wouldn’t have been safe to show up anyway.

Just my $.02

OBAMA is a Muslim terrorist. Of course he’s not gonna show up.

No. It was bearded savages who did the murdering. Bearded savages who were “offended” by something published. I applaud Charlie Hebdo for offending them. I condemn the subhuman savages who listened to their reptilian brains.
Charlie Hebdo made fun of savagery and for that they should be defended. They made fun of Christianity too, and that is no reason why our fearless leader should snub the march.

Why doesn’t the writer of this piece mention the terrorist attacks in Israel? In Jerusalem, where four people were gunned down in a synagogue? Does this creep think the murder of Jews is not terror? Maybe like Obama, this author supports terror when it is done against Jews and bad when it is done against anyone else.

I want somebody to photoshop Obama in golf clothes and club leading the group in Paris. Or maybe in a golf cart.

A Je Suis Charles Martel march would have been worth attending.

Everyone bring a Hammer!

Just as well. He would have made it all about himself and disgraced America even more while he were at it.

Perhaps the President didn’t really want to be associated with a demonstration against something he would likely call a local criminal act if it happened here in the United States.

Workplace violence. Nothing to get all wee wee'd up about.

SOMEONE should have been there. If not the President, the VP or another key official. We’ve completely advocated any role on the world stage.

“Considering that in Syria Obama has supported al Qaeda, perhaps he’s unwilling to oppose them publicly in Paris.”

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/11/eric-holder-paris-unity-rally-war-against-terrorists

Eric Holder says US ‘at war’ with ‘lone wolf’ terrorists after Paris attacks

...

Asked if he believed the Yemen-based Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had “ordered, co-ordinated and paid for” the Paris attacks, the group having been linked to one of the attackers on Charlie Hebdo, Holder said: “We don’t have any credible information at least as yet to indicate who was responsible, who sponsored this act.

++++++++++++++++++

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/01/10/paris-terror-attack-suspects-reportedly-steal-car-take-hostage-in-northeast/

A member of Al Qaeda’s branch in Yemen said Friday that the group directed the massacre earlier this week at a Paris magazine, as the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning to citizens, saying they faced an increased risk of reprisals.

(snip)

However, Cherif Kouachi told a French TV station before Friday’s raid at an industrial park that he was sent by Al Qaeda in Yemen and had been financed by the cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Yemen in 2011.

Teenage suspect ‘arrested after handing himself into police’ over Paris magazine massacre that left 12 dead - as anti-terror unit raids building in hunt for two brothers ‘trained in Yemen as assassins’

(snip)

Witnesses said the gunmen shouted ‘we are from the Al Qaeda in Yemen’, and ‘Allahu akbar!’ - Arabic for ‘God is great’ - as they stalked the building.
They were also said to have yelled ‘the Prophet has been avenged’, during what was France’s deadliest post-war terrorist attack.

(snip)

Gunmen reportedly told another witness: ‘You say to the media, it was Al Qaeda in Yemen.’

(snip)

As well as the AK47 assault rifles, there were also reports of a rocket-propelled grenade being used in the attack.

The author misses the whole point. It was because Charlie Hebdo was so relentlessly mocking Mohammed that they exposed the true mentality of Islam. They were slaughtered for this service to the West and all of mankind. It is entirely appropriate to stage the biggest demonstration in French history. Obama shoud have been there. He wasn’t because he does not oppose Islam and is really on the other side. So, the whole affair exposed Obama for who he is.

Obama should have gone to Palestine with his Ferguson friends.

Then send Biden; that’s what vice-presidents are for. Or have Holder attend. Or Kerry. Don’t send low level flunkies. This was another screw-up for an administration that has been an endless chain of screw-ups.
