Obviously meant to be an affront to the memory of Justice Scalia but I look at it as a blessing.

He will not foul that sacred ceremony with his presence and will not inconveniece the loved ones of the Justice.

Now if we could do something about Slow Joe...the thought of him groping Justice Scalia's grandaughter is sickening.

What do you expect from this little communist? Trump and Cruz ought to go to the funeral, and both of them are incomparable to the greatness of Scalia.

This piece of filth masquerading as a president went to the funeral of a common CRIMINAL (Michael Brown), but fails to honor the memory of a great justice of the Supreme Court.

There was a country had a cur
Odungo was his name-o
O-D-U-N-G-O, O-D-U-N-G-O, O-D-U-N-G-O,
Odungo was his name-o.

Obama is so damned stupid. Going to the funeral would be a great show for “bi-partisanship” but if I were Scalia and dead, I wouldn’t want that pos at my funeral at all, or his Amazon.

You’re not going to see average Americans take a day trip to see Obama’s presidential library when it’s built.

When I visited the Clinton library in Little Rock, the place was full of school buses from surrounding states. Not sure if Clinton's subsidize this or whatever. They are teaching the kiddies what an outstanding POTUS BJ was. Expect Caliph Baraq's library to be like that that many times over.

What excuse could he have. Aren’t the golf courses covered in snow?

I would furnish him a necktie. And fit it properly.

Obama and Biden did not attend Thatchers or Kyle’s funerals.

Possibly not, the list could be in error. It seems odd that they would, I didn’t fact-check it. (I feel better if that is true)

Obama is evil but he’s not stupid. Not going to Scalias funeral is another middle finger in our faces.

Whew. I did not interpret the graphic used correctly, I copied and pasted.

It was from the Washington ComPost, and it had a list of funerals, and four columns that I did not see. On each line of the funeral listed, they had a column with a graphic for Obama attended, Biden attended, White House representative attended, and None attended.

The way my browser displayed it, it wasn’t evident.

There was only one funeral on the entire list that had NONE. It was indeed Chris Kyle. That is a great relief to me, as was the fact they only sent a White House representative to Thatcher’s funeral. I would have been happier if that had been NONE as well.

It is interesting, though, that these were funerals the Washington ComPost thought were significant.

"...I would furnish him a necktie..."

I noticed on that list I posted earlier that Obama attended Mandela's funeral.

I understand neckties were her specialty. We should let her pick out the tie for him, I understand her taste is right up his alley.

There once was a turd named Barack
As smart as a bag full of rock
When Scalia expired
“Can’t go, I’m too tired!”
“And tee time is fixed on my clock!”

It would be an insult to the Justice for this law despising president to be there.
