Didn’t Fox have you guys making jokes about the French not all that long ago? It’s gotta be tough keeping track - unless the secret is simply not to think about it.
I’d just like to say that this thread is delightful. It’s a nice capper to a blah Monday. My favorite part is that conservatives are pretending that they actually give a shit about thee feelings of FRANCE in order to criticize Obama.
Also, lest anyone forget, the original idiotic criticism was that Obama should have attended personally. Now that that has shown to be completely baseless, friends like our esteemed OP are trying to transition into something akin to ‘well, he should have sent someone better!’. Don’t let those goalposts move, Dopers.
Let me go out on a limb here.
I, for one, do not give a fuck that the President did not go to France.
There. I said it. I don’t care. I do not believe there will be any repercussions to the US in regards to our relationship with France, our standing the world community, nor to democracy and the practice thereof.
If the President HAD gone to France…I still wouldn’t give a fuck.

From “Frannz is cheeZe eattin surennder monkees” to “WE is Charlee” and not a hair out of place! A flying lead change like that would break every leg on a horse.
“Oceania has always been allied with Eurasia . . . err Eastasia, which ever one you tell me, really.”
CMC fnord!
When have you ever favored support for the French?
When have you ever thought of Obama as “(y)our president”?
Heck, when have you ever thought?
**Clothy’s **head is on a swivel, completely immune to the whiplash caused by turning 180° at full speed.
I apologize for the violation. My grand moment of reprisal got the better of me.
You spend more time here than I do, and presumably have Stringbean figured out.
But I think the predominant reaction from conservative Americans would have been that Obama was trying to hog the spotlight of a European event.
Should Eric Holder have gone? Yes. Is it important that he didn’t go? Of course not.
That was a “grand moment of reprisal”? :dubious:
You’re not even trying. 
CMC fnord!
They say sarcasm is tough to read on the internet, but pettiness sure ain’t.
Nah, this is not even trying:
Dude, seriously? That’s what you bring? Shirley, you can do better than that.
Apparently, you can’t do any better. “Keep fucking that chicken” is a joke based on a commercial from the 1970’s. How edgy.
What I want to know is where the hell was Queen Elizabeth?
Heh, this is one of the most withering, well deserved put-downs I’ve seen on these boards. Unanswered, and unanswerable.
Well done.
No, it isn’t.
Trapped in Buckingham Palace by all those ‘no-go’ zones surrounding it, presumably.
Well, that certainly put me in my place!
This is The Pit you might learn it’s ropes . . . but I ain’t that sure you’re gonna be here long enough.
Pro tip: it ain’t the words, it’s the argument that counts.
CMC fnord!
Such spirit.
I wager fifteen qualtoos that the newcomer is untrainable and five thousand quatloos that the [DEL][COLOR=“Black”]troll[/DEL][/COLOR] thrall will have to be destroyed.
On second thought, NM.
Yes, it is.
