As an American I am diapointed there is no representation from the U.S in France for their rally.

No, but the are other leaders of the world there showing solidarity. Plus the fact France is one of our oldest allies. Where is, at least Eric Holder?

Attorney General. Or Vice Presedent Joe Biden. This is not political, so lets not make it that with this thread. I just think we need someone with a little more stature there.

A great target if 56 or more world leaders attending a rally event.....don't you think?

.....questions over possible intelligence failures........ “clear flaws” in security and intelligence services. ....etc

I heard just Eric Holder is over there. I'm thinking obama and biden are probably busy fund raising. That's what obama was doing at the beginning of this week......as the French were mourning.

Nothing political here, just the facts.

... Oh and D' you can be political all you like. 😉

Thanks D' I just looked at that a bit ago. I was watching CNN [why, I don't know] but they had reported there wasn't a rep there from the U.S earlier. Still haven't seen Holder yet.

Re: No representation

goldenjet16 — Sun, 11 Jan 2015 18:25:23 GMT

Ok, 40 world leaders marched. Holder did not.

Well, of course not. That would have caused him to put one foot in front of the other. 😛

Well, he (Obama) probabaly wasn't invited back after his last escapade.

Kept very old D Day veterans waiting (and other leaders, but in this company they didnt matter) by being late and

then chewed gum throughout the ceremony.

Or he had a game of golf to play !

Well done to all the other leaders, even those from opposing sides who managed to walk together.

Impressive.
