Not “present”
Somehow our President has no problem clearing his calendar so he can: 1) attend a fundraiser for Barbara Boxer, way out in California; 2) attend a higher-end fundraiser with the “undespised” rich (i.e., those who donate to him and his party) at the California mansion of that weird Getty family; and 3) hurry home to DC from corrupt, declining Chicago the day after Memorial Day to present some award at the White House to Paul McCartney. So, he can make these “important” events; too bad, he doesn’t consider Memorial Day as “important” as this crap.
