Keynote speaker at SXSW, such a statesman EmoticonDidn't send anyone to Margaret Thatcher's funeral.  I guess I shouldn't expect anything different.  4951

He only goes to Democratic funerals. He has no loyalty to the country, only his party. 4951

My your journey over that beautiful, radiant rainbow, Mrs. Nancy Reagan, who represented such Class, Dignity and Refinement, be met with the love of your life, your soul mate himself, Ronald....  And may you two dwell in Peace, Joy, Happiness, Love and Togetherness all of your days.....And with that being said, it's that "Class, Dignity and Refinement" that Barrack and Michelle Obama have absolutely zero in common with...  Their absence just shows their lack of Empathy, Integrity and Character, yet once again, and is an example of Class VS Classless  ....    4951

More manufactured outrage.  Lets read an article and get all bent out of shape because it attacks someone we don't like.Clinton, Bush, Carter, Roosevelt, and yes, even Reagan all skipped the funerals of former first ladies.  The funerals of former first ladies have been attended only twice by presidents in the last 70 years.It has been a long tradition for the first lady to attend the funeral of a former first lady, as Michelle Obama will be doing.RIP Nancy.  4951

Interesting that President's don't attend first ladies' funerals...
President George Bush Sr did not attend First Lady Pat Nixon's funeral.
President George W Bush did not attend Ladybird Johnson's funeral.
President Ronald Reagan did not attend Bess Truman's funeral. Seems to be a long standing trend that Obama is just following along. 4951

@herron1345: I was specifically referring to Ms. Reagan's funeral, not to any other events.  Are you referring to the November 13th attacks?

@herron1345
 
The list is a very long one of missed opportunities Obama
has experienced to appear presidential.
 
His notable absence from the Paris March or not attending Judge Scalia's funeral are just two. And neither are "manufactured outrage". What both are falls into the category of, "the thing speaks for itself".

He does not attend funerals of Republicans period. Only Democrats or like minded people. Regardless, it's not a good idea to have a President at a funeral. Creates a huge distraction and traffic problem for everyone else. It becomes less about the person and more about look who showed up and the pain in the rear it creates..having to search people, standoff distance. Just not a good policy.  4951

@ForeCPA90  @beastmode  @deltadawnMy friends, I understand that it might not be the "Usual" way business is conducted here, but with the Nation in such a state of division, Socially, Morally, and of course, Politically, I just would have appreciated President Obama, as well as Michelle, and other Non-Republicans, to show that the life of an American Patriot, who quite a few revere the Reagans as, crosses over and means more than Political Party Lines....  And yes, they DAMN sure should have represented The United States Of America, in the Solidarity March that took place in Paris after the Islamic Terrorist Attacks; Hence, placing the emphasis on "UNITED"....I just want people to act with the best interest of Humankind instead of always with a Political agenda in mind, ya know....  Faith, Core Moral Values and Common Respect should never take a back seat to any type of Political affiliation...   4951

@beastmode:  Or his people (aka voters that voted for him).  Those dependent with their hands out for his socialist programs.
