Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters, a Fox News military strategist and analyst, ripped President Obama for skipping the Paris rally Sunday to honor those killed during the terrorist attacks last week.
“I’ve taken a lot of heat for calling President Obama a coward,” Lt. Colonel Peters said during an interview on America’s Newsroom with Martha MacCallum Monday. “But he is a physical, mental, and intellectual coward.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Italy Prime Minister Matteo Renzi were among 44 foreign leaders marching with Hollande in a show of solidarity against the terrorists. Even U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — who are often at odds, but stood together earlier encouraging French Jews to emigrate from Israel – walked side-by-side with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
But President Obama was a very noticeable no-show at the event. When asked by Fox News’ Ed Henry what the president was doing Sunday that kept him from attending the rally, White House Press Secretary Josh Ernest couldn’t answer.
Peters, who was on to respond to the cover of the Daily News entitled, “YOU LET THE WORLD DOWN,” said “President Obama chose the side of the terrorists” when he skipped out on what was a historic event and a historical opportunity to show the Islamic world that the United States and the West were united against any attack on the values of western civilization.

Ok, let’s all give Barry a pass, perhaps he was at “church” with the fam…..but you just know Old, Old, Old Joe was sitting at home looking out the window! The fact that between Barry, Old, Old, Old Uncle Joe and Crazy Kerry, none of them thought to go….is just another embarrassment. So in 2016, let’s go ahead and elect Old Bubba’s Old Lady, Hill, and have some more fun! Perhaps while she’s in office he can chase some more underage girls and really make us look good!!

Wow for a lot of people who dont watch FOX new they sure do have FOX in their mouths 4/7. Want lies try CNN who ran the no go zone story 18 hours before FOX or out new friend Brian Williams or how about Hillary “Hillary Clinton dispensed her own combat blarney during the 2008 campaign, asserting that during the Bosnia war she and her group landed “under sniper fire” at an airstrip in Tuzla and “we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.” A week later she fessed up, saying she’d “misspoke.” According to U.S. Maj. Gen. William Nash, “She never had her head down. … There was no sniper threat that I know of.”
