While appearing on Fox News Monday, strategic analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (Ret.) minced no words when he called Barack Obama a coward who chose to side with the terrorists
when he decided to stay home instead of march with other world leaders
in Paris. Fifty world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, marched with millions against radical Islamic
terror. According to reports, Obama chose to spend Sunday afternoon watching a football game.
"The president's a coward," Peters said. "The president is a physical coward, he is a moral coward, he is an intellectual coward." That cowardice, Peters added, is the reason Obama refuses to admit that he was wrong about Islam. Peters, however, wasn't finished.
"Make no mistake," he added. "Passivity in the face of terror is complicity. And yesterday, President Obama chose the side of the terrorists."
"Future historians are gonna have a ball trying to unravel this guy's psychology," Peters said. "You can explain his behavior to a point and then you're just in the Twilight Zone. It's appalling to me that this is a President of the United States who doesn't get excited about terrorist threats to the homeland. He's got this romanticized view of Islam that doesn't jibe with reality, but he clings to it."
On Monday, the White House admitted it should have sent a "more visible" representative to the march. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest danced around the issue, telling Ed Henry that he was not prepared to say what, exactly, Obama was doing, considering that his public schedule was empty.
"I guess I prepared for a lot of questions today," Earnest said. "But I have not prepared for a question based on what the President was actually doing."
Earnest then spun the decision, claiming issues with security. But other reports said the White House never contacted the Secret Service for a potential trip to Paris.
"Secret Service official says they were not asked to draw up plans for a potential presidential trip to Paris," said the Twitter account for CNN's "Situation Room." A Secret Service official also told Fox News that "its leadership was not asked or notified about a possible trip to Paris."
"So it just didn't occur to anyone, including BO, that an assembly of world leaders ought to include him," one person said in response. "Awesome."
Peters wasn't the only one to put Obama on the side of Islamic extremists. While speaking at the Heritage Action for America’s second annual policy summit, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that by his absence, Obama “encourages radical Islamic terrorists" at a time when leadership is sorely needed.
Media outlets normally sympathetic to Obama also took the president to task. Politico, for example, published a cartoon lampooning Obama with a play on the French national motto. "Liberté égalité, Apathé," reads the caption of a cartoon that shows Obama reading a newspaper as millions march for free speech.
