Of course the Trumpees will turn this conversation between Obama and Melania into something ugly, it is simply in their nature, but it warms my heart to see two people of opposite parties actually acting like human beings for a change.
Melania is a very pretty lady, especially with that huge smile across her face. I hope Melania finds happiness sometime in her life so that she can smile like this every day.
"Trumpees" as you call them, are not the ones who turned the conversation into something ugly. Have you read the thread? The remarks coming from the libs are awful.
I sit corrected, Marlow - thanks for straightening me out.
I see by this article in the Chicago Tribune from back in the day, that conservatives were just as angry about Obama not attending Nancy Reagan's funeral, but the writer goes on to say that only four presidents have attended the funerals of former first ladies.....Clinton being one of them.
Bill Clinton did not attend the funeral mass for Jackie Kennedy Onassis, although in keeping with tradition, Hillary Clinton did. Bill delivered a eulogy at the separate burial service at Arlington National Cemetery.
I'm not really sure why he didn't attend the mass though - the families were close, but maybe they all agreed he'd be more of a distraction?
I personally think it's fine that Trump did not attend, particularly in this case where Barbara Bush had made her dislike of him quite clear. I think she would have been fine with Melania attending as First Lady, so what happened seemed quite appropriate to me.
But yes, of course there are plenty of hypocrites who attacked Obama for not attending Nancy Reagan's funeral while being fine with Trump not going to this one - and the reverse as well. While they are far bigger hypocrites, Republicans definitely don't have a monopoly.
Thanks for clearing that up
I thought I remember he made some comments
Jackie was buried at Arlington by JFK--
One factor I think liberals and conservatives agree on is that Melania is always perfectly groomed, elegant, and conveys a "touch me not" effect most of the time in her "formal" appearances--
It was refreshing to see her in a relaxed mode...
Who can forget the insane spaced out look Hillary always had when she was with Bill? Cue the balloon drop video where everyone thought she was having a seizure.
