Once again that classless boor who infests our White House embarrasses our country and insults our allies.
"Millions of people took to the streets of France today in a show of solidarity against terrorism. Roughly 3 million people — “more than the numbers who took to Paris streets when the Allies liberated the city from the Nazis in World War II” — backed over 40 world leaders during the event. The U.S. government, for all intents and purposes, decided not to send a single recognizable person.
There was Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. There was President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker. There was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, French President Francois Hollande, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
There was Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. There was Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. There was Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and a whole host of other dignitaries.
President Obama was nowhere to be found. Vice President Joseph R. Biden was nowhere to be found. Eric Holder was actually in Paris — but he didn’t attend the rallies. Perhaps he decided to sit in a bathroom stall while the entire city marched in the streets. (The official line was that he was in a “meeting.”)"
Of course, in Obama's defense he may have had a pressing golf game at some exclusive country club, or unbelievably he's actually keeping one of his earlier promises: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. Barack Hussein Obama, "Audacity of Hope"
Allahu Akbar" is Arabic for "Nothing to see here"~~Mark Steyn explaining the reaction of Obama, Hollande, et. al., to Muslim terror attacks.
That black fellow in the front row near Hollande is, I think, Goodluck Jonathan, President of Nigeria. His country is really suffering because of continuing assaults by a group called Boko Haram (which, loosely translated, means "Tea Party").
"While more than a million people were marching in a show of unity in Paris against terrorism in the name of religion two suspected child suicide bombers blew themselves up in a market in north-east Nigeria, witnesses said .
They killed three people in the second apparent attack in two days using young girls strapped with explosives, Reuters news agency reported.
The explosions followed what is believed to be the worst attack in the bloody six-year war of terror, when Boko Haram jihadi fighters attacked the Borno town of Baga near the border of Chad and destroyed at least 16 surrounding settlements.
"The attack on Baga and surrounding towns, looks as if it could be Boko Haram's deadliest act in a catalogue of increasingly heinous attacks carried out by the group," Amnesty International said in a January 9 statement on the slaughter.
"If reports that the town was largely razed to the ground and that hundreds or even as many as 2,000 civilians were killed are true, this marks a disturbing and bloody escalation of Boko Haram's ongoing onslaught against the civilian population," said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty International."

Nothing.
Which is all right by me. In fact, nothing is the best thing he can do as far as I'm concerned. And nothing is what he does best. He's a professional loafer.

I wonder if there is anyone out there who is paying attention, has at a minimum the cognitive skill level of a billy goat and still doesn't perceive that Obama is a Muslim.

Please don't insult billy goats.
Seriously, IMHO what we are witnessing is the frightening success of decades of conditioning, soft brainwashing through the educational system, media, entertainment, etc.
Although many, many people seem stupid, they have been rendered incapable of rational thought. All perceptions are filtered through Political Correctness.
I find it extremely frustrating, since you can tell the person is not inherently intellectually impaired.
Bezmenov called it ideological subversion.
"" . . . They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind[s], even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, these people... the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible . . ." Yuri Bezmenov 1984
