President Barack Obama will not attend Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral on Saturday, the White House said Wednesday. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden will attend. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama instead will go to the Supreme Court on Friday “to pay their respects to Justice Scalia” while the justice lies in repose in the Great Hall, press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Wednesday.

President Trump sparring with a radical Socialist SCOTUS should be all sorts of fun then.

[Mr. K]

He is classless pig for skipping it, but I will be glad he is not there

He is not fit to be in the presence of someone like Scalia

[Afterguard]

It is classless, but if I were the Scalia family I wouldn’t want him there.

[silverleaf]

Perhaps the man-child demanded that he give the eulogy as the price of sharing his greatness

Or maybe he just had better things to do

classless move for sure by “the great uniter”

We need to be continually reminded of how they actually speak and write, the ways they actually think and insert their faith inside every second phrase (piss be upon him) don’t we?

[pleasenotcalifornia]

Obama doesn't want to take a chance a exorcist might jump him.

[Moonman62]

Yep. I think Obama has a fear of bursting into flames if he gets near a real church.

[Rational Thought]

If Justice Scalia were my family and I was notified that the acting President wouldn't attend, I would make it clear that I didn't want anyone representing the White House.

Actually, this isn't surprising, as most Democrats place their twisted ideology above everything else.

I’d expect the Caliph to send fake Catholics Pelosi and Biden.

[windsorknot]

Barry 0’, your absence is a blessing. Thank you for your consideration.

[Neoliberalnot]

BO isn’t fit to attend. Scalia was a giant of the judiciary. Hussein is a maggot Muslim with no regard for the law. He should be excluded and that primate wife of his too.

[FJB]

Obama really is evil.

[beelzepug]

Yeah, but it was fun trying to picture Ike on Facebook. I wonder what kinds of posts he would make?

[HotKat]

That was my thought.
Would you want him to attend your funeral?

[Lazamataz]

OIbama actually IS the AntiChrist.

[publius911]

Certain labels that Hussein can never own...

Classy.
Uniter.
Erudite
Educated.
Truthful.
Statesman.
Trustworthy.
Open.
Honest.

Feel free to add at your convenience.

[uncitizen]

He is going to the wake to take a look at his handiwork.

[publius911]

As a FYI, Sat will be a spring like day in DC Metro area. Bet he is going golfing.

And, as usual, the shithawks will be circling...

[AustinBill]

From the pictorial history shown here, it seems fairly common practice for the President to attend funerals for Supreme Court Justices. It's an expected courtesy between coequal branches of government. Agree, this is a classless move on Obama's part.

[lrslattery]

I believe that this is the REAL reason...Good job!!!
