OPINION:
White House press secretary Josh Earnest has done his best to deal with the decision by someone in the White House that President Obama not go to Paris. Mr. Earnest has pointed out the president’s unwavering support for France and the French people. Obama called French President Francois Hollande on the day of the Charlie Hebdo attacks to express his outrage. He offered all U.S. assistance in dealing with the situation. He even dropped by the French embassy to sign the condolence book.
But wait, there’s more. Reportedly the president had a croissant and French roast coffee for breakfast, ordered French fries with his burger, along with French onion soup for lunch, and for good measure had a serving of French vanilla ice cream after dinner. So there.
