Someone with more details and the timeline will have to correct me if I am wrong. But here is how I see this situation, a lot are piling on right now about him being a no-show.
1- Was this thing not even announced until Thursday or Friday? Then held yesterday?
2- All of the other leaders were mostly European and it was a very short trip to Paris for them to attend.
3. The POTUS rarely makes any impromptu visits anywhere and USSS usually have a few days beforehand for a security sweep.
4- Not to take away from the tragedy at Charlie Hebdo , but they lost 12 people in the massacre we lost 3000+ on 9/11. I don't recall any world leaders dropping what they were doing to fly to Washington right away.
Those with more info can correct me if I am wrong but I just don't see how the President could attend on such short notice. Maybe if they held it this week he could have attended.
I think there is a lot of overreaction about this.
What say you?
