Attorney General Eric Holder did go to Paris — but only for an anti-terrorism summit convened by Hollande ahead of the unity rally. Holder left Hollande and the others sometime after the group exited the Elysee Palace. Around the time other world leaders and dignitaries boarded buses to get to the front of the march, Holder was taping an interview for “Meet the Press,” NBC confirmed.

    Neither did the leaders of ISIS and Boko Harem and Al Quida. Should be no surprise.

    PC Obama and his lockstep toadies cannot even say "Muslim terrorists," not even "radical Muslim terrorists."
    The march in Paris was to protest the latest savage attack by "Muslim terrorists."
    To lock arms with those world leaders would have been too visible an admission that terrorists can actually be Muslim.
    This latest Obamanation of our PC POS POTUS has smeared the honor of our(?) USA.

    you can point out all day long the decisions that the current administrator makes but it does not make a difference to him and certainly not his underlings. i was thinking that holder is obviously 0's front man, but do they hold hands behind closed doors and giggle how they are actively giving the country the shaft. do they have two rugs? nothing about those two will ever surprise me.

    They did not go, because Obama ordered them to stay away. Nothing else explains the universal no-shows. Surely they weren't all watching sporting events! Moreover the reasons they give are obviously specious.

    Anyone who has followed the actions, not the words, of Obama, Biden, Holder and to a lesser degree the coward Kerry knows exactly why they did not attend the march in France. They (collectively to mean those I just mentioned) do not believe in the Constitution or in Free Speech. They want to keep the Muslim Jihad rolling to stay relevant. They are in a race to level America to the third world countries of the world. One only needs to read Obama's book "Dreams of my Father" to understand what he wants for America. He describes, not in so many words, an America that is no longer the greatest country but one that is even or lower than the rest of the world. His book said it and his actions give that credibility. Don't listen to what he says, watch what he does. They never match in the outcome. He is not just a misguided Democrat or Socialist. He is a narcissist hell bent on changing America. Please remember when he said "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the USA." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrefKCaV...) And there are two more years of this, Obama, the biggest National Security Issue Americans face today!!

    Not only that, one of the murderers was black, which flies in the face of the current meme that only whites are murderers. It's the same reason why the State Dept. isn't making much of the Boko Haram slaughter, as they're black Muslims.

    Your suspicion, I suspect, is spot-on. According to certain news reports, Holder, who was in Paris that day, was ordered by cobo not to attend.

    My suspicion is that this administration didn't want to protest their brother Muslims. As usual, just one more black eye (no pun intended) on the face of the once great United States. I hope this country can survive the next two years.

    Is it because this was a rally against Muslim violence, or because they wouldn't be the prime focus of attention?

    What? Put a member of our elite in harms way. They are way to important for that. How would the world go on without them. [entire post major sarcasm]
