Je Suis Empty Hashtag

The Obama Administration wasn't completely absent in Paris; they did send along a high-level #Hashtag delegations.

29 As bad as it is (the snub of the French), they couldn't even send someone high-level over to the DC event, or couldn't even just set up a Jumbotron for Obama to appear on. Heck, he could have had one in Paris and offered his apologies LIVE, as if he cared. It seems to me, if I worked for Obama, who is lazy and hateful, I would have suggested the Jumbotron.

33 Dumbshit also tweeted this:

>>Extremely powerful sights from Paris today as hundreds of thousands gather in unity and defiance following terror attacks.

So...the position of the Administration is that it was a meaningful and powerful gathering that they didn't think was meaningful and so didn't send anyone.

Okay.

But generally I've been rather rude to the Land Of The Franks itself - but even I think this is too petty for words. This is shameful.
