Lapdog alert: Was Obama in a no-win situation with Paris rally? Mark Halperin thinks so

.@BarackObama can't win. Criticized for going to Paris in the past. Now criticized for NOT going to Paris.

@MarkHalperin Yeah, why go if not vacation? Besides, NFL. Let the man eat his waffle. It's not like folks expect him to lead from the front.

@MarkHalperin @DCCyclone it's not the Obama way, and he would have been attacked if he went. Do think he should have sent Biden.

@MarkHalperin Are you talking about the speech he gave when a candidate? Ridiculous. This trip would have been appropriate.
