| 4. Raising the minimum wage helps the poor. The president wants to increase the federal minimum wage to $10.10 from $7.25, with the tagline “Let’s give America a raise.” The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the hike would cost 500,000 jobs, one blow to the low-wage earners it claims to help. Employment aside, only 18% of the earnings benefits of a $10.10 hike would flow to people living below the poverty line, according to analysis from University of California-Irvine economist David Neumark. Nearly 30% of the benefits would go to families three times above the poverty line or higher, in part because half of America’s poor families have no wage earners. Minimum-wage increases help some poor families—at the expense of other poor families.
You won’t hear that from Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, who in September lived on $79 for a week to show his public-relations solidarity with minimum-wage earners. Keep in mind: Only 4.7% of minimum-wage earners are adults working full-timetrying to support a family, and nearly all would be eligible for the earned-income tax credit and other welfare programs.
5. Global warming is causing increasingly violent weather. Tell that to Floridians, who are enjoying the ninth consecutive season without a hurricane landfall. The Atlantic hurricane season in 2013 was the least active in 30 years. Oh, and global temperatures have not increased for 15 years.
Still, something must be done! On Monday, the Hill reported that an internal memo circulating among five environmental groups detailed plans for spending to support candidates “who want to act” to combat climate change. “We are on track to spend more than $85 million overall including more than $40 million in just six Senate races,” the memo said. The beneficiaries include Sen. Mark Udall (D., Colo.), who got $12.1 million, and Rep. Bruce Braley (D., Iowa) with $7.2 million.
6. Genetically modified food is dangerous. Farmers have been breeding crop seeds for 10,000 years, but the agricultural innovation known as genetic modification makes liberals shudder. Not a single documented illness has resulted from the trillions of meals containing “genetically modified organisms,” or GMOs, that humans have consumed since the mid-1990s. The technology has been declared safe by every regulatory agency from the Food and Drug Administration to the European Commission.
But insisting on labeling food containing GMOs has turned into a liberal cause. The California Democratic Party platform in 2012 added a demand for GMO labeling; more recently the Oregon Democratic Party climbed aboard. In May 2013, self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont introduced a farm-bill amendment that would allow states to require GMO labeling for food; co-sponsors of the amendment, which failed, included Sens. Mark Begich (D., Ala.) and Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.).
7. Voter ID laws suppress minority turnout. More than 30 states have voter-ID laws, which the left decries as an attempt to disenfranchise minorities who don’t have identification and can’t pay for it. Yet of the 17 states with the strictest requirements, 16 offer free IDs. The Government Accountability Office this month released an analysis of 10 voter-ID studies: Five showed the laws had no statistically significant effect on turnout, four suggested a decrease in turnout (generally among all ethnic groups, though percentages varied), and one found an increase in turnout with voter ID laws in place.
The Democratic Senate candidate in Kentucky, Alison Lundergan Grimes, has nonetheless been running radio ads in urban areas claiming that “Mitch McConnell and the Republicans are trying to take away our right to vote,” based on a 2007 voter-ID amendment the minority leader introduced.

| 8. ObamaCare is gaining popularity. President Obama said in a speech earlier this month that fewer Republicans were running against ObamaCare because “it’s working pretty well in the real world.” Yet the law’s approval rating hovers around 40%, and 27% of people told Gallup this month that the law was hurting them, up from 19% in January, while only 16% reported it was helpful.
Don’t even ask doctors about it: 46% of physicians gave the Affordable Care Act a “D” or “F”, according to a recent survey by the Physicians Foundation, and less than 4% of respondents gave it an “A.” Yet some Democrats are die-hards: 36% of their House candidates have voiced support for ObamaCare on the campaign trail, according to a recent analysis by the Brookings Institution.
9. The Keystone XL pipeline would increase oil spills. Let’s check out what President Obama’s State Department had to say: In 2013 pipelines with a diameter larger than 12 inches spilled 910,000 gallons. Railroad tankers spilled 1.5 million gallons. Yet pipelines carry 25 times the oil that tankers do, as environmental analyst Terry Anderson has noted in these pages. Blocking Keystone and forcing more oil to be shipped by rail guarantees more harm to the environment. But on the campaign trail emotion often overrules the facts, and so we have Rick Weiland, the Democratic Senate candidate in South Dakota, adamantly opposing Keystone (“If I lose because of this issue, so be it,” he told the Nation magazine last week). Colorado Sen. Mark Udall is running for re-election after having voted against Keystone in the energy committee in June.
10. Women are paid 77 cents on the dollar compared with men. The mother of all liberal superstitions, this figure comes from shoddy math that divides the average earnings of all women working full-time by the average earnings of all full-time men, without considering career field, education or personal choices. When those factors are included, the wage gap disappears. A 2009 report commissioned by the Labor Department that analyzed more than 50 papers on the topic found that the so-called pay gap “may be almost entirely” the result of choices both men and women make.
Yet here’s Colorado’s Sen. Udall: “It is simply unacceptable for businesses to pay women less than men doing the same work,” citing his support for the Paycheck Fairness Act, which might be better titled the Trial Lawyer Paycheck Act. One irony: The Washington Free Beacon did a little number crunching and discovered that women in Sen. Udall’s office earn 86 cents on the dollar compared with men. Whoops.

Alison Lundergan Grimes repeats refusal to say whether she voted for President Obama By Eric Bradner, CNN
updated 9:33 AM EDT, Tue October 14, 2014
Washington (CNN) -- Alison Lundergan Grimes again refused to reveal whether she voted for President Barack Obama, dodging the question for the second time in a week Monday during the only debate of Kentucky's Senate race.
Grimes, the Democratic secretary of state who is challenging Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in one of the nation's marquee races, cited the "matter of principle" of privacy at the ballot box, noting that she is the state's chief election officer.
"I'm not going to compromise a constitutional right provided here in Kentucky in order to curry favor on one or (an)other side or members of the media," she said during Monday night's debate.
The answer echoed one she gave the Louisville Courier-Journal's editorial board last week, which touched off days of criticism -- with NBC "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd saying that Grimes "disqualified herself," and McConnell's campaign immediately placing that comment in a new ad.Suite---- Certains se souviendront peut-etre que Bush 43 avait le meme probleme en 2006 (la raison: l'Irak).

| Can Obama Reboot? Does he even want to?
By GLENN THRUSH and CARRIE BUDOFF BROWN
November 02, 2014
Barack Obama is antsy. His aides can see it when he alights from Air Force One from the all-too-occasional campaign trips he has taken this fall. There’s a sigh, an unhappy-camper body language when he finds himself back in the depressing slipstream of Ebola confabs and national-security-crisis-of-the-day meetings. The vibe, according to people in his orbit, is not so much of being checked out as of being fed up.
“[i] do like campaigning. ... It’s fun,” Obama said on Thursday, speaking wistfully at a rally for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike Michaud in Maine. But the Michaud event was the exception, not the rule. “There have been $2 billion in ads shitting on the president and no one to defend him,” a senior administration official told us. “He is very fired up to get this campaign behind him, to run through the tape.”
Obama, for so long the man with the bright future, has hated being relegated to a sidelined pariah in the midterms—even if it is the inevitable lot of a second-termer with approval ratings hovering in the low 40s—according to a dozen current and former Obama advisers we spoke with in recent days. He both resents the narrative that he’s basically irrelevant and doesn’t much relish the fact that many of his longest-serving staffers, the remnant core of his once-buzzing and brash White House, are strapping themselves to ejector seats. More than anything, Obama’s loathing for Washington, an attitude that reads as ennui to outsiders, has hardened into a sullen resignation at being trapped in a broken system he failed to change, advisers told us.
“I sense a certain fatalism there, and it’s disturbing,” says a former adviser on Obama’s campaign who, like many others we talked with for this story, requested anonymity. “There’s a sense that ‘I’ve tried everything, and look where it got me.’ People misread it as disengagement. It’s frustration. But who cares? It’s a bad mind-set.” Another Obama veteran adds, “the bully pulpit is gone, maybe forever.”
Administration officials tell us that Obama’s political and policy teams are planning a big counterattack if the Republicans win the Senate—introducing a slate of legislative proposals and executive actions on immigration, infrastructure and early childhood education that are popular with the Democratic base and that he will dare the GOP to oppose. Time and history, however, aren’t on his side. The six-month period between Election Day and next summer is likely the last chance for Obama to make his mark before the 2016 presidential campaign to succeed him really kicks into high gear. But the implacable opposition of a GOP that has turned him into his party’s albatross and his own hard-to-pin-down state of mind cast doubt on a major comeback. Suite | |

| Krauthammer: 'This Is the End of an Era for Democrats'
Charles Krauthammer reacted moments ago to the Republican Party winning control of the Senate, arguing that the effect of President Obama has now completely worn off.
He pointed out that many of the Democrats who lost tonight were swept into office on Obama's coattails, which he said have now become "toxic."
Krauthammer said the favorable demographics - among young people for instance - are now shrinking for Democrats and the playing field between the parties will be leveled for the next few years and into 2016.

Obamacare Architect Jonathan Gruber: ACA Passed Because Americans Are Stupid
By: Jake (Diary) | November 11th, 2014 at 06:30 PM
Jonathan Gruber is the gift that keeps on giving for conservatives on Obamacare. We’ve already covered his remarks on subsidies for people on the federal exchanges. Now, he’s back in the news again. On October 17 of last year, he spoke at a forum at the University of Pennsylvania’s Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, and he said, in essence, that Obamacare passed because American voters are stupid and due to the lack of transparency, which was a “political advantage” to Democrats. The original video has been removed by UPenn, probably because it gave conservatives ammunition against Obamacare. Fortunately, Phil Kerpen’s group American Commitment was able to clip out the most important part of Gruber’s remarks and post them to Youtube. Here they are:

| Dr. Manny: Why ObamaCare has failed American physicians
Dr. Manny Alvarez By Dr. Manny Alvarez Published November 11, 2014 FoxNews.com
With the latest revelation that the Affordable Care Act was intentionally created to include fuzzy math and an overwhelming lack of transparency, I am more frightened than ever about the future of health care in this country.
For the last year, I have commented on the many pitfalls that this current legislation would create: The patient-doctor relationship as well as patients’ access to treatment — especially those that require specialty services— and not to mention the predictable increase in premiums that many families are encountering.
Now, all of these things have come to fruition.
The promise of keeping your doctor was hugely false, and certainly premiums for patients have skyrocketed in many markets, and a lack of access to specialists such as cardiologists, neurologists, nephrologists in many parts of this country have caused patients to have to travel great distances for care.
But I’m more frightened than ever for the men and women in the health care industry. I’m talking about doctors and nurses who are the ones responsible for treating this current generation of Americans and generations to come.
I think that if we did a national survey and people told the truth, we would find that most health care work professionals are unhappy. They are unhappy because for the last several years, the rules of health care have kept constantly changing. And worse than that, physicians and nurses get punished for conditions that they sometimes cannot control.
This has led to surveys clearly showing a significant attrition of doctors in the marketplace today. A 2013 Deloitte survey indicated that six in 10 physicians believe the practice of medicine is in jeopardy, and 62 percent say “it is likely that many physicians will retire earlier than planned in the next one to three years.”
Let’s face it: One out of three doctors in America today is over the age of 50. And many of them cannot wait to either have early retirement or consider other professions.
When you have the federal government going at a continuous pace of manipulating and controlling health care services in America, the physician becomes a pawn of legislative agenda that, many times, is impossible to execute in real time. In the end, who suffers the most? The patients.
I’m not saying that we had a perfect health care system before ObamaCare. But there hasn’t been a single example that, at least to me, satisfies the notion that America is going in the right direction when it comes to health care.
And in America, we still struggle with a multitude of medical issues that will take years to fix— such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure and preterm deliveries, just to name a few.
A perfect example is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care which is a fully run system by the federal government, and yet thousands of patients did not receive adequate and timely care—only to become a national story, and only to expose all the shortcomings of what happens when bureaucrats run medicine.
I know that the midterm elections are bringing new attention to what the new Congress can do to fix ObamaCare. Personally, I think that this giant spider of bureaucracy is now so embedded into the DNA of America that it is going to be impossible to fix.
I hope that the fundamental question that the new Congress answers first is: How do we keep the doctors and nurses in their jobs? How do we take away the burnout rate of physicians dealing with all the Washington paperwork that this government has created? How do we take away some of the fear that doctors have in practicing medicine today that, if they make a single mistake, they run the risk of being fined or, worse yet, losing their license— especially if an error is made without malice?
Listen: I don’t have any problem putting crooks in jail. But it boggles my mind how the IRS is entitled to lose dozens of emails and gets away with it, but if a physician inadvertently codes a chart erroneously, he or she is dragged through the coals.
When the Ebola epidemic broke out, our federal government told us not to worry -- that we were ready. And you saw what happened. American hospitals were not ready. Only a select few were— and even they had to pull immediate resources just to treat one patient.
America, the facts are in front of you. I believe that we have all the resources to handle any challenges that we come to face, and that we are capable of delivering a health care system that will continue to grow, rather than contract. But this can only be achieved if everybody tells the truth, if we take politics out of the equation, if we take special interests out of the equation, and deal only with the science of healing.

GOP's Dan Sullivan maintains lead in Alaska Senate race as absentee ballot count begins
Published November 12, 2014 ·Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska – Republican Dan Sullivan was maintaining his lead over Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska's U.S. Senate race Tuesday as election workers began counting absentee ballots.
Sullivan held an advantage of nearly 8,100 votes as the counting continued Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day, election workers started tabulating about 50,000 absentee, questioned and early-voted ballots from last week's election. The counting was expected to continue later this week.
News reporters and observers affiliated with candidates or political parties watched as election workers opened ballots, reviewed those in which voters' qualifications were questioned, and tallied votes in election centers in Juneau and other parts of the state.

| Au sujet du dernier scandale qui engouffre la Maison Blanche: Des videos concernant un des architectes* d'Obamacare ayant une tres grande opinion de lui-meme et une miserable de l'Americain en general, font surface (nous en sommes a 7). Les premiers jours, seul FOX News les diffusait et les commentait; aujour'dhui, comme pour tous les autres scandales qui ont sali le gouvernement Obama, l'exuberance de ce monsieur Gruber est de temps a autres discutee, mais fort peu dans l'ensemble; toutefois, voila le point de vue d'un journaliste de CNN (de droite, chose rare sur cette chaine) qui a bien cerne le probleme: The guy who thinks voters are 'stupid' By S.E. Cupp updated 8:25 PM EST, Thu November 13, 2014
Editor's note: S.E. Cupp is the author of "Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity," co-author of "Why You're Wrong About the Right," a columnist at the New York Daily News and a political commentator for Glenn Beck's The Blaze.
(CNN) -- With a fourth video released, Gruber-gate is now in full swing.
The latest caught-on-tape remarks from economist Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, has him asserting back in 2010 that the "American public" -- that's you and me -- "doesn't actually care that much about the uninsured." He thinks he knows us so well.
In another video released earlier, he said that to pass new health care legislation, the Obama administration successfully relied on an electorate -- again, you and me -- that didn't really understand it.
"It's a very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter," he tells the Honors Colloquium 2012 at the University of Rhode Island.
There appears to be a bottomless well of Gruber's greatest hits.
In yet another, from a speech at the University of Pennsylvania in 2013, he explains that the very function of the law -- doing what it was designed to do -- was totally unpalatable to voters (that is, if only we'd turned away from our Cheetos bags and NASCAR races long enough to catch it).
"If you had a law which said healthy people are going to pay in -- if you made it explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed."
To hammer the point home, he admits that the sales pitch was one big cover-up operation: "Lack of transparency is a huge advantage. And basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever. But basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass."
And in still another video he's caught telling Washington University at St. Louis in 2013 that one important provision of the bill passed "because the American people are too stupid to understand the difference."
Let's be clear: Gruber didn't say any of this incredibly arrogant, deeply offensive stuff in a soft whisper at a clandestine meeting of liberal donors. He said these things out loud, at lectures, over and over and over again, without even an attempt at discretion. Suite de l'article plus video* J'ai ecrit un des architectes d'Obamacare, car enfin il y a encore quelques semaines "l"'architecte d'Obamacare etait suppose etre Ezekiel Emanuel, frère de Rahm Emanuel, ancien Chef de cabinet de notre president et actuel maire de Chicago (ou, vous ne le sauriez pas en lisant les media, le montant des meurtres s'elevent a 359 morts et 1957 blesses par arme-a-feu, depuis le debut de l'annee (mais bon Chuuut on ne va pas critiquer une mairie democrate dans l'etat le plus democrate des Etats Unis et surtout pas oser dire que 9 sur 10 meurtres sont par des Noirs sur des Noirs - je ne sais plus tres bien si c'est politiquement correct en France ou si je dois dire AfroAmericain, ce qui n'est plus tres acceptable ici). Ici, mais je m'eloigne.. donc: frère de Rahm Emanuel... et celui qui claironnait dernierement qu'il esperait bien mourir a 75 ans, la vie après, n'en valant plus la peine... Why I want to die at 75 Un avis qui peu paraitre pour certains assez perturbant de la part de quelqu'un qui reve de voir Obamacare eventuellement devenir une assurance gouvernementale. | |

| A suivre, dans les jours qui suivent, 2 evenements qui pourraient bien avoir des repercussions tres importantes, tant politiquement que sur l'ordre public et meme, la liberte des Americains.
1 la decision du grand jury concernant l'eventuelle inculpation du policier blanc qui a tue un jeune noir non-arme (a Ferguson, Missouri). Les activistes sont prets a reprendre les manifestations avec les resultats desastreux que l'on a connus pendant l'ete, Ils n'accepteront rien d'autres qu'une mise en accusation du meurtrier du "gentil geant" selon les avocats des parents et les media - Le KKK a prevenu qu'il defendrait toute personne menacee - La garde nationale serait meme appellee pour veiller au calme... Les ecoles seront prevenues avant l'annonce de la decision afin que les bus puissent ramener les enfants chez eux et les commerces de la petite ville auront descendu leurs rideaux metalliques.
2 l'annonce unilaterale par notre president de legaliser la presence sur le territoire americain de 4.5 millions de sans-papiers/immigrants illegaux (comme vous voulez).
En tant que president, il a une grande latitude en ce qui concerne tout ordre executif qu'il souhaite signer a condition toutefois de ne pas etre en opposition directe avec le sens de la loi sur l'immigration (ce qui serait le cas).
Selon plusieurs specialistes de la Constitution, Obama serait punissable d'une Procedure de Impeachment. Judge Napolitano chez FoxNews Impeachable violation of the Constitution et le TRES liberal Jonathan Turley, Professeur George Washington University Law School. Executive action et immigration
Toutefois, les Republicains sont en position tres difficile. Le nouveau Congres ne s'ouvrira qu'en janvier prochain, Obama refuse d'attendre et a decide de contourner le Congres actuel (canard boiteux, Republicain a L'assemblee et Democrate au Senat avec un President, Reid, qui a bloque plusieurs centaines de propositions de loi depuis 4 ans alors que toute la faute de l'inertion dans les deux Chambres est placee sur les Republicains qui selon les Democrates et les media n'auraient jamais rien travaille a quoi que ce soit).
Les prochaines elections sont en 2016, or
- Les Americains n'ont pas envie de devoir se refaire une séance comme celle qui a eu lieu avec Clinton! L'economie va mal, la menace exterieure est constante, les salaires des Americains sont stagnants, la nouvelle vague d'Obamacare ca causer de nouvelles pertes d'emploi ou au minimum des plein-temps seront remplaces par des temps partiels, etc. etc. Tout ce que les Americains veulent est que Democrates et Republicains travaillent ensemble pour ameliorer leur vie.
- Le Congres pourrait dans son budget bloquer les allocations de certains departments du gouvernement qui ont a voir avec les ordres executifs du president. Ce qui serait mal vu aussi par les Americains car Obama sera tous les jours a l'ecran expliquant a qui voudra bien l'entendre le mauvais esprit des Republicains alors que, lui, tout ce qu'il veut faire c'est pour le bien du peuple.
Il est donc possible qu'il arrive a ses fins.
Ce que les Democrates devraient comprendre toutefois, c'est que, de la meme facon que lorsque Reid a change les lois du Senat pour que 51 voix soient suffisantes au lieu de 60 pour obtenir une majorite a un vote de loi pour imposer LEUR loi, ils ne seront pas toujours en majorite; la preuve, les Republicains seront a partir de janvier en charge. Qui sait qui sera elu president en 2016, si c'est un Republicain, il pourra lui aussi imposer son ideologie, les limites du pouvoir executif ayant deja ete detendues. Il est largement a douter que ca sera du gout des Democrates.
Les Founding Fathers avaient mis des garde-fous pour proteger le peuple, nos dirigeants et leur armee d'avocats nous croient idiots (nous en avons les preuves avec les video de Gruber, au cas ou nous en douterions encore) et nous imposent ce qui est "bon pour nous". Nous les remercierons plus tard...
Une autre chose, Obamacare est passé au Congres mais avec force, achat de voix et accords d'arriere-salles, sans aucun engagement bi-partisan avec les consequences que l'on connait (ah j'oubliais presque avec mensonge sur mensonge: "Si vous etes assures, vous pourrez garder votre assurance... votre docteur, l'hopital pres de chez vous, les primes d'assurance baisseront, etc... etc... etc.. Point final!"*). On aurait pu esperer que notre gouvernement aurait appris de ses erreurs, ca n'a pas l'air d'etre le cas.
Enfin: Il aurait aussi ete reconfortant que pendant les deux mandats de notre president, les relations raciales dans le pays se soient ameliorees. Malheureusement, il semble qu'a chaque occasion qui s'offrait a nos dirigeants (president, ministre de la justice, dirigeants du Congres, etc..) d'agir en rassembleurs et non en politiciens, ceux-ci ceux-ci soutenus par la majorite de nos media aient choisi d'envenimer les choses. Quel heritage et quelle empreinte positive il aurait pu laisser sur l'histoire de notre pays!
---- * If you like your plan C'etait a condition de n'avoir apporte aucun changement au cours des 2 annees precedentes et meme si vous pouviez garder votre "plan" il devait inclure les conditions requises par Obama et son equipe (le cancer de la prostate pour les femmes, la pillule, l'avortement, la grossesse pour les homes etc.. etc..) auquel cas vos primes augmentaient imperativement. Notre president nous avait promis une reduction de frais de $ 2,500 par an? L'inverse est la norme pour la majorite des assures. Mais comme dit Mr. Gruber dans les video de 2013: on etait bien oblige de leur mentir les voteurs americains sont tellement stupides qu'ils n'auraient pas compris, ils auraient refuse et pourtant une fois le plus dur passé et tout le monde assure, ils vont comprendre ce qu'on a fait pour eux!
Sauf que le plus dur n'est toujours pas passé et que ca ne s'arrange pas. Au depart il y avait une menace de penalisation pour toute personne refusant de s'assurer imposee par le fisc, maintenant il n'en est meme plus question, alors evidemment comme cette idee sublime pondue par ces gradues des grandes ecoles ne fonctionne que si tout le monde s'assure, ce plan extraordinaire qui devait faire diminuer le cout des salles d'urgences ou se rendent les non-assures et qui finissent pas etre payes en partie par l'etat (donc les contribuables) et en partie par les assures - donc ces derniers payaient 2 fois!! (les hopitaux devant bien recupere de l'argent par tous les moyens), ce plan donc, est en passé de s'auto-detruire.

| Pas une nouvelle mais bon c'est en langue anglaise... Les Americains gardent le sens de l'humour. I've disconnected my home alarm system and de-registered from the Neighborhood Watch.
I've got two Pakistani flags raised in the front yard, one at each corner, and the black flag of ISIS in the center.
The local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching the house 24/7. I've never felt safer and I’m saving $49.95 a month | |

| Obama, Kerry absent from unity rally in Paris
Millions gather against terrorism 01:00
Washington (CNN)—The heads of England, Germany and Israel were there.
But President Barack Obama didn't attend a unity march in Paris on Sunday, days after the deadly attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Nor did his secretary of state, John Kerry, who has deep ties to France.
Holder: Not yet sure which group is behind Paris attack
Kerry was in India, attending an entrepreneurship summit with new Prime Minister Narendra Modi -- with whom the United States is hoping to develop much closer trade ties.
Instead, the United States was represented by U.S. Ambassador to France Jane Hartley.
Attorney General Eric Holder was also in Paris, attending a security summit on combating terrorism. He recorded interviews that appeared on several U.S. news outlets Sunday, but was not spotted at the unity march.
No one from the administration would speak on record about the U.S. representation at the march.
"Attorney General Holder -- a Cabinet level official -- is representing the United States at the security meetings in Paris today. He is joined by the DHS Deputy Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas. The United States is represented at the march by Ambassador Hartley," a senior Obama administration official said.
An administration official added: "As far as public signs of French solidarity from the U.S. -- don't forget several public statements from the President, his call to [French President Francois] Hollande and a condolence stop to the French embassy."
Beyond that, the official said "all relevant components" of the U.S. government have been aiding their French counterparts, in some cases on "essentially a minute-by-minute basis to support their efforts."
Hundreds of thousands of people attended the march in Paris on Sunday, waving both French flags and those of other nations.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were among those who attended, along with religious leaders.
Speaking on air with CNN's Jake Tapper, who was at the rally, "Global Public Square" host Fareed Zakaria called the absence of top officials a mistake.
France is the United States' "deepest ideological ally," he said, and it would have been a meaningful image to have a senior administration member, or the President, standing shoulder to shoulder with other leaders.
Zakaria noted that security concerns didn't dissuade Netanyahu or Abbas or other leaders from showing up. But Obama's absence did show that the struggle against radical Islam is "not all about America," he said.
"Many people have tended to think that Islamic terrorism wouldn't exist without America," Zakaria said. "This is really a struggle between the civilized world and a band of extremists. Even if you take the U.S. out of it ... the civilized world is up in arms."

| Un tolle general!!
WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA: WH admits higher official needed in Paris
AFTER FACING BIPARTISAN criticism over the meager U.S. presence at Sunday's massive march, the White House acknowledges that it erred in not sending a higher-level representative—following Secretary of State John Kerry's reference to the debate as "quibbling." | |

| Notre administration refuse d'utiliser le terme d'Islam radical:
Harf: There are other forms of extremism that are important
D'ailleurs, a la conference qui aura lieu le 18 fevrier prochain a Washington "Summit on Countering Violent Extremism" ne portera pas que sur les groupes qui terrorisent au nom de l'Islam.
La porte-parole adjointe du Departement d'Etat, Harf, refuse de citer les autres formes d'extremisme qui mettent les democraties en general et les U.S. en particulier en peril... Je serais presque prete a parier que le Tea Party en est... Les vilains! | |
