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:
What a waste of presious air
Then Obama should of attended Mark, He is the first president in American History not to attend a Sitting Justice’s Funeral. I really do not care what he was doing on Saturday, but his place should of been at the service. You can’t tell me that had it been a Liberal Justice that had died, or a Black Justice that he would of been at that Service. He didn’t attend because Scalia was a Conservative and White
Where is the FBI investigation in this? If this isn’t mafia style elimination of unwanted opposition in our government, I don’t know what is! Is the FBI afraid of the liberals because they sure don’t seem to be in a hurry to go after Hillary either! There should have been an in depth autopsy!!
He already went to the viewing too. What do you want the man to do? Go to everything. I think it is geat he went to the viewing and have biden go to the funeral. That is the best way to pay your respects
He should have gone to the funeral. What a disgrace
P.O.S
A number one free loader.
That is pretty despicable.
beyond caring what he does, what a mistake
No Mark it isn’t. He spent less then five minutes at the viewing, He showed is normal disrepect for anyone who disagrees with him
