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

President Obama didn’t attend the rally in Paris, France yesterday, and Mark Halperin, author and managing editor of Bloomberg Politics, thinks Obama’s critics just aren’t being fair:

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

Former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett agrees.

@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.
