Obama arrives late for 'moment of silence' for Paris attacks

By Dave Boyer

President Obama walked in late Sunday on a moment of silence being held by world leaders in Turkey to honor the victims of Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris.

Reporters traveling with the president said Mr. Obama had not yet arrived when other world leaders at the G-20 conference in Turkey began their silent observance around a large conference table.

They didn’t wait for him, they started without him.

I wonder if that’s ever happened to an American president before.

We have to do something about this piece of trash...he is a total embarrassment to the people of the United States...

But then again, if we had a House and Senate that wasn’t raking in the money they are raking in for their own pleasure, they would do something about it...

Disgusting, embarrassing, deplorable, non-American, I could go on but won’t....

moment of silence

That's what the "mute button" is for the instant King Putt shows up on my TV screen.

If there’s any possible way he can figure out how to be late for his own funeral he’ll do it just to keep people waiting.

What a PUTZ.

Forget that he was late...look what the psychopath said!

When the leaders began their working session, Mr. Obama said the Paris attacks show "there is a strong link between economy and security."

In a reference to the Syrian refugee crisis, he said "society has not passed this exam with good grades"

When I was a student I volunteered as an usher for the once a month Symphony ..

I was not to allow ANYBODY to be seated during the Overture (They had to stand outside and be quiet until the break in the music..)

It was manners and how one acted at the Symphony.. Protocol...

Surely one of Obamas peons told him to stay outside the room and quiet and still and do his own moment until it was over ...

was he the only one late ???

Surely a big Turk with a scimitar could have blocked his way..

I never thought I’d see the day where the foreign leaders say “hell with the American President”.

The irony is that these same leaders were beside themselves with joy when "the Won" was first elected.

An instructive case of "familiarity breeding contempt."
