(Reuters) - First lady Michelle Obama will attend a memorial service for former first lady Betty Ford in California on Tuesday, the White House said.
Also in attendance at the service in Palm Desert, east of Los Angeles, will be U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with her husband, former president Bill Clinton, and former first lady Nancy Reagan.
Former first lady Rosalynn Carter and National Public Radio journalist Cokie Roberts will deliver eulogies, the Elizabeth B. Ford National Tribute Committee said.

This lists every First Lady since Ford (i.e., every living First Lady) except Barbara and Laura Bush. I believe that was the point. The will probably attend, but this story (or at least the extract) didn’t include them.
Gotcha. Apparently I missed the point. Lol
Pro-abortion Marxist to attend funeral of pro-abortion RINO.
No news here that need concern any serious people.
It’s hypocritical, Jeff. In her own words, she was never proud of this country when Betty Ford represented us as First Lady.
When they said "Ford service" she thought they said "Food service."
I wonder if she is going to wear a teal dress again, like she did at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day, 2009.
She will probably wear something even more tasteless and ugly.
I would just love to watch somebody - anybody - ask Moochelle if she could get them a cup of coffee.
I’m thinking she wasn’t invited...Carter was, Clinton was..I’ll bet they didn’t put her on the list

Excerpt: “Former President George W. Bush also will attend the service but without his wife, former first lady Laura Bush, who had previous travel commitments, according to a spokesman. Bush’s mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, will attend a private funeral in Michigan on Thursday, the spokesman said.”
Thanks. I knew there was no way the Bush family wouldn’t be represented. Not only would it be proper protocol, but the Bushes are just naturally proper.
I watched just enough of this to see Moochelle go for a nose pick on camera.
