And shamed into doing that.

There is no love for this country in the Obamas.

How can ANYONE make excuses for this pathetic slob who is (unfortunately) our purported leader???

It makes no difference if he met with the family in private or not, he's (unfortunately) THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES....and his short shrift in the viewing was the image portrayed to the world (unfortunately) ON OUR BEHALF. HE WAS REPRESENTING US!!!!

Even if he was faking it, he should have taken time to publicly bow or nod his head, clasp his hands together, make some respectful sign or other, wait a respectful minute or two, and then move on.

The Catholics were making the sign of the cross at least, and many folks were wiping away tears.

Obama did the minimum (showing up) and, as usual, he trivialized the highest office in our land...and the greatest county on earth.

He's too "cool" to care, man....and too much of a boorish ass in the presence of the coffin of a much, much better man than he could ever hope to be.

I happened to see it LIVE on TV.

You’re right - disgraceful.

I also thought Kagan’s attire was ragged.

I agree. It will take 15-20 years to clean up this mess.

He’s got to take off his shoes, get out the prayer mat, find the direction to Mecca... This stuff takes time.

See # 45 for Obama paying disrespects to Justice Scalia....and why some think it was fine and dandy.

No Common Decency.
No Respect.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What do you expect? Obama is a stone cold radical leftist. Scalia was Obama’s mortal political enemy and now Obama gloats at his death.

Obama is a psychopomp, truly. A psychopomp for the whole nation and for Scalia.

I’m more interested in what Barrys’ boss Valerie Jarrett “promised him” after she convinced him into doing this, AFTER he said “...send Joe to the funeral, I’m NOT going...” Ponder how that dialogue went.....

he should have taken time to publicly bow or nod his head,...

He only does that with our enemies, despots, Third World leaders and other muslims!

A most excellent and incisive observation, Bushbacker.

Folks, see # 45 above for reference.
