The Obama administration’s decision not to send a high level dignitary to march in the rally in Paris yesterday has been criticized and lampooned. Eric Holder was in France but did not attend the march. Now comes word that John Kerry has announced that he’ll pay a visit later this week:
Just announced travel to #Paris Thursday night to pay respects to French people – US support is ongoing and constant.

Too late? Many think so:

Little late! Now can you address why POTUS was the only world leader not there? Is it because he is not a leader? @JohnKerry @TheBlazeNOW
