President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama paid less than two minutes of respect to the late Antonin Scalia while the Justice lies in repose at the Supreme Court
Friday, the Obamas spent approximately 35 seconds in front of the casket and then approximately 67 seconds in front of the portrait of Scalia.

There is no love for this country in the Obamas.
Yes, she did look like she was smirking. Her outfit was appropriate. Her wig was ratty. meow
Love It :-)
That was a good one.
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.

If we get the chance....
How long does it take for someone to say “Allahu Akbar”?
He’s got to take off his shoes, get out the prayer mat, find the direction to Mecca... This stuff takes time.
It wasn’t a WAKE! The Wake was yesterday. Obummer wasn’t invited

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 only does that with our enemies, despots, Third World leaders and other muslims!
actually the motivation is fear
the longer he stays, the greater chance for being shot
he can not go out in public
Surely Joe Biden is going to the funeral. That would be protocol
A most excellent and incisive observation, Bushbacker.
Folks, see # 45 above for reference.
