Obama&#8217;s trip from Washington, D.C. would have been more than five hours there, and five more back. The U.S. Ambassador to France was already there, as was Attorney General Eric Holder. They could both ably represent the United States in a rally that had an important symbolic purpose, but would not have any productive impact on diplomacy or other legal matters related to international terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>A presidential visit might have been nice, but it certainly was not required. And the fact that Obama is now taking heat for not attending is irrelevant because he would have been criticized just the same if he had gone. It&#8217;s falls into the Fox News editorial mission of being against the President, no matter what he does or says. I can just imagine the headlines that Fox and other right-wing media would have generated if he had chosen to go to Paris:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>President Obama Spends $12,000,000 To Attend Street Rally In Paris<\/li>\n<li>President Obama Jets To Paris While Congress Is Working To Restore Jobs In America<\/li>\n<li>President Obama Links Arms With Socialist French President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas<\/li>\n<li>President Obama Pays Tribute To Murdered Parisian Cartoonists, But Would Not Attend Funeral of Murdered New York Cops<\/li>\n<li>President Obama&#8217;s Security Detail Disrupts Paris Unity Rally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See how easy it is when you know how Fox thinks?<\/p>\n<p>The tone of the article on the Fox News community website, Fox Nation, suggests not only that Obama doesn&#8217;t care about the victims (note the dismissive wave), but also that he must be pro-terror for not participating in an anti-terror rally (even though it was actually a <em>&#8220;unity rally&#8221;<\/em>). But it is hard not to notice that there weren&#8217;t any Republicans there either, so they must all be uncaring terrorist supporters too.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>Get the ALL NEW 2nd volume of<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?\nie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the final analysis, Fox News has demonstrated that they will take the most trivial things and blow them up into phony scandals that draw attention away from the issues that matter most.
