The media's spin on why the emperor didn't attend the rally in Paris

A commenter at Ace's has identified the media spin on the emperor's decision *not* to attend the gathering of national leaders in Paris Sunday.  Three choices:

i) "It was a really gutsy call for obama not to go to Paris, since that would have taken so much of the world's attention away from the rally itself;" or
ii)  Obama actually was in Paris...in spirit; or
iii) Look, over there!  Republicans!  And they're trying to deport innocent undocumented immigrants!
