Solon Compares Obama To Hitler

A Texas congressman (pictured) drew criticism Tuesday for a tweet that used the world's response to terrorist attacks in Paris as an opportunity to compare President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. Rep. Randy Weber's official account, (at)TXRandy14, tweeted on Tuesday night: "Even Adolph Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris. (For all the wrong reasons.) Obama couldn't do it for right reasons" The tweet juxtaposes Hitler's visit to the vanquished city after his troops invaded in World War II, and Obama's failure to join dozens of world leaders at an anti-terror march through Paris on Sunday/Associated Press. More here.

Question: Should President Obama or a high-ranking representative have gone to France to lend support and comfort in wake of the Charlie Hebdo slaughter?
