“President Barack Obama is not expected to accompany his wife...”

Utterly classless trash.

Could we leave Michael at home, he/she really isn’t legally a ‘First Lady’ or ‘First Man’....

I believe Reagan’s funeral was invitation only. Nancy’s is likely the same.

Look, I find this administration abhorrent, but c’mon....his security detail would make a real mess...and furthermore....the “First Lady” attending is enough, imho. Frankly, I’m glad he won’t be there.

The Bushes always had class.

Lady Bird Johnson died during George W. Bush’s presidency. He did not attend the funeral.

Obama would also, by his very presences hog the attention at the service. It is actually proper for him to not go. They can’t send Biden because he’d find a 14 year-old girl to molest. So Michelle makes sense.

The one that I feel is inappropriate is Hillary. It becomes a defacto campaign stop.

Obama and Clinton are not ladies, they are tramps.

LOW class and NO class. Were these kids made for each other, or what?

It might be a health issue. She’s 90, going on 91.

I am no fan of Obama, but there's nothing inappropriate or disrespectful about him not attending the funeral of a former First Lady. He did say some gracious things about Nancy Reagan on the news of her passing, US flags were lowered to half-staff, and that's all I'd expect of any sitting president under the circumstances.

Believe me, they’re better off not having Obama there.
