killthelights Posted January 13, 2015 #2 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 that's RIDICULOUS to call him out on. He has fledged his support for France in whatever they needed. Just because he wasn't there doesn't mean he doesn't stand by them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthelights Posted January 13, 2015 #10 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 no thread is actually spill the truth tea Actually - he was one of the first leaders to call the French President after the attack and he has expressed deep appreciation for Obama doing so. Don't get it twisted. Just because he wasn't physically there doesn't mean he does not support the movement. Conservatives find EVERY LITTLE THING to criticize him for.

Don't get it twisted. Just because he wasn't physically there doesn't mean he does not support the movement. Conservatives find EVERY LITTLE THING to criticize him for. Actually the New York daily news is a liberal paper; therefore, it's not just republicans Criticizing him. Even CNN is criticizing him. oh a phone call that's nice, but considering France is one of our biggest allies it's a slap in the face not to send at least one of those guys there to represent us. There were leader there from other countries whose ties to France aren't even as close as the United States. Let's not forget that leaders from France came to visit us during 9/11 or the fact that France helped us win the Revolutionary war. We owe a great deal to France. It would be a great lost for us to lose their respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValetGirls Posted January 14, 2015 #12 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Meh. Like usual he could've handled foreign affairs with way better optics/outcomes, but nothing's gon stick.

It would be a great lost for us to lose their respect. Trust me. Our alliance will not falter because of one little petty thing. And France owes US quite a lot as well, they probably wouldn't even be a country anymore had it it so please stop with this unimportant, petty BS. The revolution? Let's skip ahead a couple hundred years later. France probably would not have been liberated from Germany during WWII had it not been for the U.S. US-France relations will not turn sour because Obama did not attend a demonstration. There is no bad blood you are making something out of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama is far better than these idiots. These presidents were the first who censored the freedom of speech through journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
