However you feel about the value of the “solidarity march” taking place in Paris and being emulated in other cities around the world, the Obama administration’s participation could not be more tone deaf.
People are marching in solidarity against radical Islamists who murdered people for exercising their right to free expression. Who does Obama send as his surrogate? His Attorney General with a record of defending jihadi terrorists and persecuting journalists. What part of that seemed like a good idea?
Obama: "I want the people of France to know the US stands w/you today." But not at #parismarch w/world leaders! pic.twitter.com/qK35t9GYWz

Why isn't Obama in France. It's pathetic. Holder? Really? That's an insult. Better off sending no one.

Nice to see Eric Holder take a day off from mandating campus speech codes to attend the Charlie Hebdo memorial. http://t.co/nrwx8YENfi

What's Obama doing today? (This is not rhetorical or judgmental — just seriously wondering.)

In addition to sending Eric Holder to France, Obama will transmit a photo of himself looking thoughtfully at a kosher grocery store.
