Might be a trained exorcist in attendance who would see Obama for who he is.

Why would anybody expect 0bama to attend Scalia’s funeral Mass. It is not about 0bama. If the Catholic church changed its traditions and allowed 0bama to give a long political speech in place of the homily 0bama would be there.

Defending the indefensible...

The Current Occupant has a VISCERAL hatred for anything or anybody who would raise any objections to his self-appointed grandeur, and Antonin Scalia certainly put a great many of his objections in the dissenting opinions to the various initiatives of the Current Regime.

Therefore the haste with which the Current Occupant wants to ram the nomination and confirmation of another of his pet judges through the Senate.

> Is this the same President who travelled half way across the globe to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral?

Yep, the same one who is also rushing to Cuba next month to brown nose the Castros.

It should be up to the family. The funeral would probably go more smoothly if it didn't include presidential security. Obama not attending does not necessarily indicate any disrespect.

Obama is what is termed “Perfectly possessed”. So is Hitlery.

They STILL would not allow people to line up at the Current Occupant’s open coffin to use it as a urinal at the time up in the future, when it comes, as it must, the Current Occupant also goes to his final reward.

Now why would the person who put out the hit go to the funeral, he’s not even close to being in the same room as the mafia

The Kenyan can see the finish line.

He will make less and less effort to hide his dislike of the Christian faith.

I would not go to 0bie’s actual funeral. I’d go later, but I’m sure there will still be a line. And the grass doesn’t stand a chance.

I have seen Catholic funeral services before, and the priest will wave a cross around. Obama doesn’t want to see that; he is afraid that he may pass out or writhe on the floor, or levitate and slither up a wall trying to get away.

I frankly wouldn’t want to see him there. Obama is not fit to empty Scalia’s trash bins....let alone be seen at a funeral honoring the man.

Am I the only one who is pleased by the fact that neither the event nor those who would honor Justice Scalia have to endure the blighting presence of President Soetero?

There is no excuse for bad taste and disrespect. Obama is a classless, narcissistic, lazy ass and an embarrassment to our White House. Slug.

Obama skipping is a good thing; who wants him there? It would be like Satan coming to your funeral.

Scalia will have a Christian service. I doubt Obama would be comfortable or welcome.
