US Congressman Randy Weber took to Twitter to criticise President Barack Obama for not joining other world leaders in Paris on Sunday.

"Even Adolph [sic] Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris. (For all the wrong reasons.) Obama couldn't do it for right reasons," he tweeted.

The tweet referred to the German dictator's visit to the vanquished city after his troops invaded in World War II, and to Obama's failure to join world leaders at the anti-terror march to condemn last week's terror attacks in the French capital.

After facing criticism, the White House issued a sort-of apology on yesterday. "I think it's fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile" than the US ambassador, White House spokesman Josh Earnest acknowledged.
