Yesterday upon a chair
I saw a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish, he’d go away!

Over 40 Heads of State, or their top representatives were at the rally against terrorism in Paris. Netanyahu attended in person, and linked arms with Mahmoud Abbas, who understood the gravity and symbolism of the event. But the USA? Our ambassador may have been there, tweeting, but Obama, Biden, Kerry all had better things to do, and Holder, who was in Paris for meetings, didn’t stick around for the Rally.
But wait, there’s more – Obama was busy, reports the Daily Mail:
According to an administration official, President Obama spent part of his Sunday afternoon watching a National Football League game on television. Both games were broadcast hours after the march.
What was he thinking??
I guess we can add a word to the Obama vocabulary – in addition to “Eastwooding“, we can now add “Antigonished”!
