Bill and Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama rode on Air Force One with Bidens

Melania Trump and Laura Bush will also be in Atlanta for the memorial service

Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush were invited but will not attend

Michelle Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton stepped off Air Force One with President Joe and Jill Biden in Georgia on Tuesday for Rosalynn Carter's tribute service.

The fivesome traveled together from Washington DC on the presidential plane.

Joining them in Marietta, Georgia, will be Melania Trump and Laura Bush - all current and former first ladies will be on hand for the memorial service of one of their own. Trump and Bush made their own ways to the service. Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff will also attend the ceremony.

Jimmy Carter, who has been in ill health for the past year and has spent the past 10 months in hospice care, will travel to Atlanta for his wife's memorial service, which takes place at Glenn Memorial Church.

It is his first public appearance since September, when he and Rosalynn Carter rode together in the Plains Peanut Festival parade and were seen through the windows of their car.

Melania is why Bill is there

She trolled him good with her pink "pussy bow" blouse at the second debate, the one where Trump's team brought Bill's several rape victims to sit across from him. You can see the yearning on the back of that old horndog's neck:

She was the first of the first ladies to start having a “cause”.

Not at all. Edith Wilson was thought to have run the presidency while her husband was ill in his last years as president. Eleanor Roosevelt was constantly busy with globalist activism and encouraging communists into high visibility positions. Jackie Kennedy raised large sums for interior refreshment of the White House and its furnishings, and set the tone for a “celebrity” presidency rather than mere public service. Lady Bird Johnson admirably got most of the nation to stop littering along the roadsides. Pat Nixon encouraged local volunteerism and supported organizations for handicapped children. Betty Ford started a rehab clinic and IIRC was active about breast cancer.

Why does she get a police honor guard? She never held office.

Maybe they just want to. She was first lady of the state when he was governor.

Why are they here in Marietta?   Did they fly Air Force One into Dobbins Air Reserve Base?

Looks like Big Mike got a new suit.

Yes, Rosalynn was a very good person. Melania and Laura are good reps to be at the service.

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood perform 'Imagine' at the service
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

/sigh

This ranks right up there with The Leonard Cohen song, Hallelujah about King David's adultery with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder in battle of Bathsheba's husband, Uriah the Hittite.

Just because a song had the word Imagine or Hallelujah in the title doesn't mean it isn't sacrilege.

And yes, they played Hallelujah at my s-in-l's father's funeral service.

Leonard Cohen was Jewish so how does his song get certified kosher for a Christian funeral service, especially a Baptist funeral service?

She was a First Lady of Georgia too.

These kind of DSC funerals have odd things happen at them. Like mysterious envelopes being handed out... wonder if any were handed out today...

They are already complaining that Melania didn’t wear solid black.

At least the Leonard Cohen song had some Biblical reference. The John Lennon song titled Imagine clearly antibibical and effectively a Communist anthem. Imagine has no place in a supposedly Christian memorial service.

In case she is remarkably still alive and needs help getting out?

“… Unelected but thinking she should be involved? ..”

Same with Hillary. She was worse.
