Missed Opportunity at the Anti-Terrorism Unity Rally in Paris

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of the terrorist attacks carried out by radical Islamists in France. Sunday, the world leaders of some of our closest allies in Europe and Israel attended a unity rally in Paris to show support for the victims and stand strong against terrorism. Missing from the over 40 world leaders and 3 million people was President Obama or a senior representative of his administration. The United States must remain vigilant in standing alongside our allies to defeat the terrorist threat. This was an opportunity for President Obama to join our allies on the world stage and to demonstrate that we won’t back down. This is very unfortunate and another example of the President’s misguided foreign policy.
