Who would have ever thought it would come to this? The free world held an anti-terrorism rally and the U.S. was the only country that didn’t show up.
With 44 world leaders and 3 million French marching in an extraordinary display of unity against terror in Paris on Sunday, the absence of U.S. presence was glaring. Not only did President Obama not attend, he did not send any high ranking officials in his place – not even Attorney General Eric Holder, who was in Paris at the time!

No Obama. No Joe Biden. No John Kerry from State. No Chuck Hagel or Ashton Carter from Defense. Not even Eric Holder from Justice, who happened to have been in Paris.
Yet there was British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Jordan’s King Abdullah and so many others — most extraordinarily including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
All linked arms with French President Francoise Hollande, leader of the country where terrorists killed 17 in a deliberate attack on democratic values, leader of one of America’s most stalwart allies in the war on terror.
Obama didn’t even acknowledge the Paris rally, or the thousands of others that took place across the world, including in D.C., on Sunday. His silence speaks volumes.
