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:
respect is earned.im amazed to be able to find any people who would stand up for this enemy.
He doesn’t care about no one !
He would have ruined it. Glad he had to golf.
Golf was the smart choice
Don Johnson No Don, you are wrong. I have been critical of many administrations including Carter,Regan,Bush Sr. Bush Jr, Clinton and Obama. The problem with someone like you is that you are a Obama supporter and there is a 99% chance you are a Hilary supporter also. When it comes down to it a Sr court judge of the Supreme court died. Out of respect for the position not only should the V.P go but also the President. It is a sign of respect for the position. There is NO excuse for this amount of disrespect for such a highly regarded position in the United States and it seems that between wiping his$#%&!@*with the US Constitution, starting proxy wars in Libya,Syria and Eastern Ukraine, trying ever inventive ways to step on the 2nd amendment while supplying weapons to FSA terrorists and Mexican drug cartels, not securing our borders, making ignorant trade deals and basically sinking our economy it was at least the decent thing to do was to pay his respects to the family instead of Hiding in the White House or using a U.S Pentagon General as a excuse not to go… Obama is a giant cluster$#%&!@*as a President and ANYONE who thinks that this current administration has done well for the USA is too far gone to try to talk to.
The President did NOT go to the wake. And it is false that the president and VP can not be together at a gathering. The Secret service makes arrangements just for that instance.
You look pathetic america, letting this$#%&!@*hiding behind guns p**s on your families futures !!!
Howard Dietz You are a moron! Obama was at the viewing, it’s not called a wake, cause it’s not at a funeral parlor. The viewing was held at The Great Hall in the Supreme Court and the President and his wife were there for several minutes, cause my colleagues and I watched it on T.V. The President and the Vice President are never together at outside events and that’s the way it’s been and always will be, cause it’s a fact. I can’t believe we have so many stupid people in this country and your one of them! JUST STUPID!
You just proved my point. Keep reading your propaganda and start prepping. They are coming. Who I do not know, but they are coming
You obviously don’t play golf.
