When two-star Major General Harold Greene, the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam, was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday, neither the President nor the Vice President were present.
The nominal Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama was playing a round at the Vineyard Golf Club with Valerie Jarrett’s cousin, Cyrus Walker, the World Bank president and former President of Darmouth College Jim Kim, and former lobbyist and ambassador Ron Kirk. The clownish Joe Biden was in the middle of the third day of a week long vacation in the Hamptons, which followed a week in Wyoming, which was preceded by a week at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Was this noticed? Yes, it was:

What would have been sweet is if the sissy obama showed up for the funeral he was turned away.
Even the Clintons had the class to go to Vince Foster death after killing him and rolling him in a carpet livingston took him to Fort Marcy ParkThat is hy they had that big remodle that room was a bloody mess
She should consider Obama’s absence a blessing at a time of great sorrow.
I wouldn’t want him there .... the security that goes with Obola or Biden would make the whole funeral just miserable. Plus, the Narcissist-In-Chief would take away from what should be General Greene’s funeral - it would become the Obama Show. Biden can stay away too - he’d for sure open his mouth and say something stupid ... and you don’t need to hear stupid when you’re in the process of burying your dead.
No one would want these clowns at their funeral, it would have turned it into a circus instead of the dignified ceremony it is supposed to be.
Just think how your skin would crawl when either of these two got up to speak over your dad’s casket.
Glad mac daddy and the nude VP did not show, it would have turned into a phony photo op with mac daddy pretending he gave a crap and the VP would have had to be taken out due to him showing up naked.
As far as the LIAR in chief is concerned, the ONLY thing servicepeople are good for is holding his umbrella when it rains. He has ZERO respect for our guys and gals in uniform. But what would one expect from a ZERO?
That’s why I said turn him away.
In all fairness, Obama is on Vacation.
Kinda reminds me of the celebrities that got turned away at the Joe DiMaggio funeral. One was Bill Clinton. Another was Reggie Jackson and a 3rd was Tom Hanks. Private funeral-make it about Clinton. These people need to be cut down a notch.
We all know his professed love of the military is a lie. Its much better to have people there who wanted to honor the General and wanted to be there than to have Obama there to dishonor his service.
“What would have been sweet is if the sissy obama showed up for the funeral he was turned away.”
When politicians show up for an event there is a staff to orchestrate the event to ensure everything comes off stage-managed to perfection. They’ll arrange where the press can stand, where the principles will stand and who does what when. An event director will develop a script and events will come off with military precision. Everybody will have a place to stand and a role to fill. (Have you noticed that Obama never has to deal with hecklers? Also, there are planted questions and “spontaneous” halleluiahs so obvious that even the press has commented...just the once, though.)
A friend was a Marine when Clinton visited his camp. The Marines who would actually see him were intrusively checked down to their groin. Then they had to wait for two hours as Clinton was late.
I am in total agreement (just got wordy with it since the thought of him showing up was more than I could stand)!
The WH may have received word, through private channels, that an official visit would not be appreciated.

Exactly! It’s a good thing that the bastard(s) didn’t show up.
Obola. good one.
