First lady Michelle Obama will attend the funeral on Friday of Nancy Reagan, who will be buried next to her husband, former President Ronald Reagan, at his presidential library in California, officials said on Monday.

Reagan will lie in repose at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Wednesday and Thursday. A private funeral is planned for Friday, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said.

"First lady Michelle Obama will be attending Mrs. Reagan's funeral," a White House official said on Monday.

Reagan, the former actress who was fiercely protective of her husband through a Hollywood career, eight years in the White House, an assassination attempt and his Alzheimer's disease, died on Sunday at age 94....

Is Nancy Reagan being snubbed by Obama?

[Fai Mao]

I don’t think this is a snub. It seems sort of appropriate actually. Obama would, by his mere presence hog the service and Biden would molest a little girl.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’m surprised he didn’t just send ValJar or the undersecretary of agriculture.

[skr]

That’s appropriate enough for me.

[kalee]

Is it too much to hope she dresses appropriately and acts respectfully, no eye rolling, smirking, or scowling?

[Iron Munro]

Hope she has enough sense to dress appropriately and keep her hairy armpits covered.

And absolutely NO TWERKING ALLOWED!

What can we expect from Michael, err, Michelle Robinson O....eee gads

[DaveA37]

The moooooooch needs to get out of the house, its been a long winter for her and she hasn’t had any air travel time for a while. Perhaps she will do a brief stop over in Hawaii for a few days before going back to DC.

Nancy was so High Class and the Mooch is so Low Class.

[Ann Archy]

I think she’s had a MAKE-OVER.

[Popman]

Hopefully, Mooch has enough class to retain the appropriate amount of decorum and dignity...

I'm actually surprised the WH didn't send a high ranking representative like the WH head dishwasher...

[Fresh Wind]

"All this for a damn flag old white woman"

[Jacquerie]

<>Just stay away.<>

Agree. The classless Moochelle will probably wear spandex.

[Izzy Dunne]

absolutely NO TWERKING ALLOWED!

I could have gone ALL DAY LONG without that image in my head.

But noooooo...

[Howie66]

Why?

Seriously.

Why?

[60Gunner]

Talk about crapping in the punch bowl.
