Where's Bammy?

Sometimes an inferiority complex is justified. Today it is clear that America is low man on the totem pole of world leaders, all of whom have gathered in France at a huge, city-wide rally to show support against the horrors of Islamic radicalism and the murders at Charlie Hebdo earlier in the week.

They are all there, even the head of the Palestinians, walking virtually arm-in-arm with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. Yet not one representative from our government managed to show up, even though Eric Holder -- almost a nobody but still in the Cabinet -- is in Paris anyway! One wonders how he spent the day. What with millions of marchers inundating every corner of that city, it's hard to believe there was even one croissant left anywhere.

As for Obama, check the golf course closest to the White House. After all, it is a Sunday.
