Is this a joke?
It is the theater of the absurd. A man who can’t be bothered to make an appearance at any sort of memorial for his grandmother after her death, decides he is the apt “performer”(we are in a theatrical production, afterall) to eulogize men who were hard-working, honorable miners so extraordinarily different from Obama. The canard may be a reaction to his flippant golf outing as soon as he was free from attending the funeral of the Polish president. He needs the gravitas of another funeral to make him appear somber and caring. There is nothing caring about Obama; he is all absurd theater and posing. His appearance to deliver a eulogy is crass and disgusting theatrics and dishonors the dead in the most disingenuous and calculating manner. Obama has no shame and no scruples.
Unfortunately, it is not; and I live in this area. If it were not for commitments, I would leave the state for a nice weekend vacation.
At this time, I would respectfully ask all of my fellow freepers to say a prayer for the families of the miners. And I have complete faith that you will. God Bless and Thank You.
