"The White House did not return request for comment Friday evening as to why neither the president nor the vice president are attending.
The New York Times reported earlier this week that among those attending would be French President François Hollande, Austrian President Heinz Fischer, Belgium King Philippe of Belgium, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark.Reports of Obama missing this event come after he didn’t attend other high-profile events, such as the rally in Parisin the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terror attack. More recently, Obama has been scrutinized for declining to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he arrives in Washington in March."
