Was he pretending to cry and wipe away tears as he walked away, as certain other Presidents did?
To: Nachum
Although the Obamas spent only two minutes at the coffin and portrait, they also met with the Scalia family in private. I am no defender of Obama - and I think he’s a jackass for not going to the funeral - but just how long is he supposed to spend with the casket and portrait?

He tried to act like he was silently praying.
Moochie was smirking.

What a coincidence, his very short appearance at Rancho Mirage on the announcement of the death of Justice Scalia was 2 minutes.
0bama must a very busy man. /S, as if needed.

I’m surprised he couldn’t run past any faster...
To: vladimir998
Exactly. It’s a viewing. You view, give your respects and move on, so others can do the same. This is a nothingburger. Daily Caller trying to gin up controversy where there is none.

I wouldn’t want him at my funeral either.
He’s a scumbag and the only reason he’d go is to grandstand.

Plenty of time for the press to get their photos, that’s what mattered.
Michele did look decent for once, assuming the bottom half matched the top half that showed in the photo.
Obama looked like he was wearing a suit several sizes too large for him.

I told my MIL that I would have put in my will, and made it public, that the POS would not be welcome at my funeral!

Agree.
Timing him with a stopwatch is a tad nitpicky.
