WestVirginiaRebel Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Breitbart: Paris (AFP) – Sunday’s massive march in Paris against terrorism drew dozens of world leaders in a show of unity — except from the United States, which was represented by its ambassador. US Attorney General Eric Holder, who was in Paris Sunday to attend a meeting of interior and justice ministers discussing measures to combat jihadist attacks, was meant to have participated in the rally according to the White House on Saturday, but did not do so, the US embassy in Paris confirmed. The embassy did not say why Holder did not attend the march. It said the United States was represented in the huge rally by its ambassador to France, Jane Hartley. Holder, who was protected while in France by a detail of FBI officers, said after the ministers’ meeting that US President Barack Obama wanted to hold a summit of allied leaders in Washington on February 18 to “discuss ways in which we can counteract this violent extremism that exists around the world”. He also expressed sympathy with France for the three days of carnage it suffered at the hands of three Islamist gunmen, saying: “On this day, we are all French citizens. I am a citizen of France, and we stand in solidarity with the French people.” ________ Obama couldn't be bothered. He was too busy at the golf course to attend...

Valin Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 More Here Holder, top US official in Paris for terror talks, not seen at unity march January 11, 2015 FoxNews.com Attorney General Eric Holder is in Paris to attend a meeting on fighting terrorism, but did not participate in a march with world leaders Sunday to honor the 17 people killed last week in France. Attorney General Eric Holder is in Paris to attend a meeting on fighting terrorism, but did not participate in a march with world leaders Sunday to honor the 17 people killed last week in France. More than 40 world leaders marched arm in arm through Paris to rally for unity and freedom of expression and to honor the victims of the three days of terrorist attacks. The leaders headed a demonstration of at least tens of thousands of people who converged on the capital after three gunmen last week attacked a newspaper office, kosher supermarket and police. Among the world leaders attending the event, under extremely tight security, are French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Holder is the top Obama administration official to attend the terrorism meeting. Secretary of State Kerry is in India attending an international investment conference and push to trade ties with the giant South Asian nation ahead of visit by President Obama later this month.

Josh Earnest conceded that Barack Obama’s White House should have sent a figure of more stature to attend the historic march in protest of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo than America’s ambassador to France. After much prodding from the press corps, Earnest conceded that the president was at home in the White House on Sunday. (Snip) One intrepid CNN reporter offered her theory for why Obama declined to attend the rally in Paris when so many of heads of state around the globe did: Politics. “President Obama, while he obviously does things to deal with terrorism, this isn’t the issue that he wants to be fully front and center out there with, I think is fair to say,” said CNN Senior Political Correspondent Brianna Keilar. That’s right: This CNN correspondent, who might very well be onto something, is suggesting that the president views terrorism and national security as just one of many “issues.” Much in the way that Obama embraced veteran’s affairs as his “issue” ahead of the 2008 campaign, terrorism is an “issue” which he largely regards as a frustrating distraction. Given Obama’s reluctance to prosecute the anti-terror campaign against ISIS, Keilar’s assessment of Obama’s political priorities rings true.

nickydog Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 If he could have been the only head of state marching in front of all the French people, he might have considered that. But I still think he was looking forward to a Sunday of football on TV and he just didn't feel like flying all the way to Paris. After all, he did sign the book at the French Embassy. What's the matter with everyone? Can't a guy relax on the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Secret Service was never asked to prepare for an Obama trip to ParisNoah Rothman January 13, 2015 (Snip) “The White House cited security concerns and the fact that the rally came together quickly, in about 36 hours. Earnest said presidential or vice presidential security for events such as the march are ‘onerous’ and have a ‘significant impact’ on those who attend,” The Washington Post reported. “A Secret Service official said the agency was not asked or notified about a potential trip to Paris.” “Officials acknowledge that the Secret Service could have pulled it off,” reported CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta on Monday. “The agency was not asked or notified about a trip. It would have been a challenge, but he did not say it was impossible.” (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
