When the White House said that Barack Obama would not be attending Supreme Court Justice Antonio Scalia’s funeral, many at least assumed that he must have had something important to do. His absence was unprecedented, after all, and Obama couldn’t be so petty that he would simply not attend because he didn’t feel like it, right?
Apparently not. Obama didn’t attend the funeral this past weekend, but was seen strolling the White House with a binder full of potential Scalia replacements, instead.
Yes, before the body was even laid to rest, Obama was more focused on replacing the conservative justice with which he never agreed than paying respects to one of the most consequential, important political figures of modern times.
It’s not as if he should be in any hurry. It’s questionable that the person he appoints to replace Scalia will even get a hearing, much less be confirmed.
Obama was at least scheduled to pay respects to Scalia at his wake, but even that trip left many unimpressed. See why on the next page:
Got it, REVENGE is what your president is all about. That and playing golf!
Is it revenge..or is it$#%&!@*for tat.
Not to mention the Family was OK with him NOT being there
How exactly do you get revenge on a dead person…when you already attended the viewing?
Exactly..it is$#%&!@*for tat
Scalia was a Bucket of$#%&!@*…would you go to the funeral of a Rancid T**d
I figured he would go another 5 million dollar vacation we pay for.
Personally, I believe a sitting president should go to no funerals unless it is a family member. They become the story not the deceased.
I do care, because it is only right to show respect for their service. Over and over Obama has choosen to not attend the services of Former Amb’s, Margret Thatcher’s, and American Hero’s, and often didn’t even send someone to represent him. Each time it was a conservative. Yet he has time to have a kid who builds a clock that looks like a bomb and invites him to the WH. Has time to meet with Black Lives Matters Leaders to let them know he supports their acts of Violence etc… Do you see a pattern people?
You people knows he is a Muslim and cannot be in a Catholic church. Remember when he went to a Catholic university the cross are covered.
