Confirmed: Obama watched NFL playoffs instead of going to Paris
American Thinker ^ | 01/12/2015 | Thomas Lifson

You won’t find it in the American media, but the U.K. Daily Mail has obtained confirmation from an administration spokesman that President Obama spent much of yesterday watching the NFL Playoffs (as I speculated).

According to an administration official, President Obama spent part of his Sunday afternoon watching a National Football League game on television.

In fairness, the playoffs took place after the rest of the world leaders had marched, along with U.S. representation that stopped at the assistant secretary of state level and an ambassador who was a bundler for Obama.

It looks to me as though Secretary of State Kerry may realize that his absence was a mistake.  But at least he had an excuse: he was in India on official business, though with an executive version of the Boeing 757 at his disposal, he could have pleaded emergency business and departed for Paris.  Instead, he said:

'As everybody knows, I have been here in India for a prior planned event,' he added. 

'I would have personally very much wanted to have been there but couldn't do so because of the commitment that I had here and it is important to keep these kinds of commitments.'

Poor guy...I guess all those rounds of golf while he was ON VACATION just wore him out.

He probably won’t feel like doing anything much until the next fundraiser comes up....

Or the Steelers, “Baraq’s Team”

But lets be honest, with 20+ coaches and 50+ players, there are gonna be a lot of regime partisans on any NFL team.

Good old Jimmy Mora.

“Rooting for the Green Bay Meat Packers”.
Are you sure you don’t mean “Fudge Packers”.

The real question is was he asked NOT to come by the other world leaders?

He’s against Israel, he backed the brotherhood in Egypt, he released 5 commanders and more from Gitmo for a muzzie sympathizer, he turned Iraq and Libya over to radical muzzies he sits on his hands while Boko Haram runs amok he’s allowing a flood of muzzies immigrants into this country. if it walks like a duck....

I wonder what Hillary will do in a couple years when she’s in the same situation?

I am not gonna carry water for the guy but I think he was right in not going to Paris. The security, travel, and other associated costs for the U.S. and France could be better spent elsewhere. Plus somehow the press would have made it all about the wonderfulfantasticmiraclegenius of the marvelous one.
