In fact Uhuru should thank Obama for not coming. The last thing he needs is for republicans to highlight the fact that he is an ICC wanted criminal.
And finally the author of that piece seems to be very bitter that Obama did not pay his hero a visit.
"Republicans have disparaged the ICC since well before it was established in 2002. President George W. Bush tried to kill it by "unsigning" the treaty President Bill Clinton and more than 100 other world leaders signed. When Obama was supportive of referring Libya's Moammar Gadhafi to the ICC for prosecution, John Bolton, Bush's former U.N. ambassador and a Romney foreign policy adviser, dismissed the court as "one of the world's most illegitimate multilateral institutions," adding that the president's stance was an "abdication of responsibility."
