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.

    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!!

    Holder was right there! All he had to do was walk across the street and join the other dignitaries. It is pretty clear that he was specifically instructed not to do so. There is only one person who could issue such an order. So, once again the excuse machine goes into action when the absence of BHO becomes the latest major presidential gaffe.

      Jimmy Carter said because odipshit just came back from vacation he couldn't be expected to go, and you are correct about holder. He was in a meeting with everyone but had to tape some meet the press interviews instead of go to the rally.

      Exactly. How stupid do they think that we really are? Some lowly staffer in the WH didn't think it was important enough to "tell the President," so he didn't know? This was a specific decision NOT to attend in any meaningful way. The interesting thing is that when it blew up in their faces, this time they admitted it was a mistake - and then blamed it on some un-named staffer. Of course, the sycophantic media will now drop it. This admin just will not admit that there is a faction (at least, I think it is much more holistic) of Islam that is at war with western culture.

        How stupid do they think we are? VERY - and they have reasons to feel that way, the biggest
        one: having the most inept 'whatever' running/
        ruining our country. GOD save America!

        It's mind boggling what this prez 'didn't know' and had to find out on the news. How can you be the decider if you have no clue what's going on?

          They never "know anything." Which is their way of sidestepping any issue. But the press seems willing to play along with an administration that continually says outright that they are caught unaware of everything of note going on in the world, just getting a clue once the major media starts to report on it.

    Frankly, I'm glad they didn't show up because they'd have made the event about themselves (or tried to). The French deserve credit for finally standing up to these criminals.

    I only hope they'll figure out that requiring speech to be "responsible" only helps the bad guys.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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]

    The March is all BS to placate the masses. What a joke, they hold up pens and pencils. I suppose that is the most lethal weapons they possess. At one time, North Africa was almost %100 Christian. The Muslims took over by force and population. The Christians were forced to convert or be killed. They are doing the same to Europe now.
