Barack Obama not attending Antonin Scalia's funeral.

Posted: Feb 18, 2016

I have to give BO credit on this one. Justice Scalia's family probably doesn't want him there. It would probably be more of that faux sympathy anyway with the wittow sad face and fake tears.

He's probably busy preparing the White House for - SM

Black Lives Matter and Al Sharpton. Those are the people to whom he shows respect. Go figure.

I was even surprised at that, and not much surprises me anymore. - Look up the funerals he HAS

found time to attend. Maybe he's playing golf.

Obama just too honest - He's not going to MISS Scalia

Four out of the past seven funerals for a Supreme Court justice have either had the president or vice president in attendance.

Former President George W. Bush attended the funeral for Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

Former President Bill Clinton attended the funerals for former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and Justice William Brennan but did not attend the funerals for Justices Harry Blackmun or Lewis F. Powell Jr.

Former Vice President Al Gore attended the funeral for Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Pres. Bush attended the funeral for Chief Justice - Rehnquist and delivered his

of a Justice of the Supreme Court, a co-equal branch of government, who faithfully served in his post nearly 30 years. It is shameful.

Yes, it is completely and utterly shameful. - sm

But, sadly, I have grown to expect this kind of disgusting behavior from this president.

Oh! Heavens to Betsy! The 'shame' of it all! - All the right ever does is find shame.

Well shame on THEM for being so closed-minded and incapable of working with ANYONE. It'll come back to bite 'em in the behind next November.

Like the left is so willing to work with anyone. - Get a grip.

I'm sick of the patently ridiculous pot-kettle stuff that goes on in this forum.

It's the right that needs to 'get a grip'. They - have no grip at all on reality.

Totally disrespectful.

Politics has destroyed basic decency in this - country. The jokes on the

Internet about Scalia's death were horrible. I hope the same doesn't happen when Ginsberg passes.

"Former" voter? Then you have no say, - if you dont vote in elections.

should have read former Obama voter - I do have a say

I have voted every election since 1972. But even if I had never voted, I think it's very disrespectful.

And another thing - former Obama voter

Why does everything have to be so black and white? Right automatically is against whatever the left does. The left is automatically against anything the right does. If Romney had won and didn't attend, say, Justice Ginsburg's funeral, the left would be in a total uproar. I think it's disrespectful that Obama is not going to the funeral. That's just basic human decency.

I knew the right would get upset. But had he - attended, the right would have - msg

criticized THAT as well. Danged if he does, danged if he doesn't.

The Party of Obstructionism needs to be dismantled and discarded. It serves no one.

Nonsense. Anyone would have expected the President - to attend.

This is called a "straw man" argument, and it constitutes a LOGICAL ERROR.

Yes, I agree. Harry Reid has obstructed enough. - sm

Glad to see that old coot be gone soon!

Regardless, if BO had class and showed respect to attend Justice Scalia's funeral, I don't think people would have critized unless, of course, MO showed up wearing one of her ugly hoop dresses (or is that just her butt that makes them look like hoop dresses). She has no class either.

All this talk about class, and yet look at what the - right is running. No class whatsoever.

On Tuesday, the radical Islamist group ISIS released a video of the horrifying execution of a Jordanian pilot. Horrifying does not even begin to describe what happened to the 26-year-old pilot. He was soaked in gasoline and then marched into a cage. A trail of gas was poured that led to the cage and then lit. The pilot watched as the flames followed the gas trail to his cage and eventually set his clothes on fire. For well over a minute he hops around, screaming in agony before eventually col ...

WHEN Barack Obama took office last year he was compared to Superman, even joking at a dinner that he had been “born on Krypton and sent here ... to save the planet Earth”. Last January he appeared on the cover of Spider-Man. Now, with his legislative agenda in tatters, the president has moved from comic-strip hero to comparisons to one of the great flawed figures of American literature. Ten days ago Charlie Cook, a leading election analyst, compared Obama and his battle to push thro ...

The firestorm of denunciation of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for having said that he did not think Barack Obama loved America, is in one sense out of all proportion to that remark — especially at a time when there are much bigger issues, including wars raging, terrorist atrocities and a nuclear Iran on the horizon. Against that background of strife and dangers on the world stage, it may seem as if Obama’s feelings, or Giuliani’s opinion about those feelings, s ...

Security Council’s five permanent members (plus Germany). Netanyahu was entirely justified in trying to influence debate about what he rightly sees as ...

WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton already has a running mate: Barack Obama. This makes Republicans happy, because there's no easier line of attack (or mechanism for fundraising) than saying a Clinton victory would amount to a continuation of the current presidency. Nearly every communication from the Republican National Committee about Clinton's candidacy hammers on that point. “America deserves better than a third term of the Obama-Clinton policies,” said RNC Chairman Re ...

This is sooooo stoopid!!! What do they want the President to do? I guess the President needs to sit at his desk 24 hours/day. After all, he can only handle one catastrophe at a time.

By: CNN Political Unit WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A tweet by the nation's largest newswire about a catastrophe at the White House was nearly immediately shot down as false on Tuesday. The Associated Press message read, "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured."

Republicans and Democrats are deeply divided over the proper role of the Supreme Court. President Obama and Democrats favor justices who see the Constitution as a potter sees clay—something that can be molded to achieve their desired results. This has led the Supreme Court to invent rights that are nowhere in the Constitution—like the right to an abortion or to same-sex marriage—and ignore or restrict rights that even nonlawyers can’t miss—like the First and Second Amendments.
