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.
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.
You are right, of course.
