I doubt that she was invited. It's a private funeral.

"It’s not the first time President Barack Obama’s very close buddy Dr. Eric E. Whitaker has made headlines. This time, Whitaker is labeled a hostile witness in an ongoing trial of Leon Dingle Jr. who is a Chicago businessman charged with stealing more than $3 million in taxpayer funds. It all has to do with an alleged fraud scheme involving Illinois state grants, according to a Sun-Times report on Tuesday."
He went to his grandmothers funeral.

Obama to Skip Nancy Reagan's Funeral to Attend South by Southwest Festival In Austin, TX.


Does this really surprise anyone? That is the way it is with this goon. He would be there if it was a thugs funeral killed by the police. Glad this one will soon be gone.

It's called maturity.
Don't forget to add respect .

You could have read the thread before giving in to recreational outrage. It's called maturity.

Still a puzzle after almost 8 years, it will come to me soon LOL

But wait...

President Reagan did not attend Mrs. Truman's funeral.
President Carter did not attend Mrs. Eisenhower's funeral.
President Clinton did not attend Mrs. Nixon's funeral.
President Bush did not attend Mrs. Johnson's funeral.
President Obama did not attend Mrs. Ford's funeral.

The current first lady at the time did, however, attend those funerals because it is customary for the First Lady to represent the President at funerals for former first ladies.
The precedence is what the perpetually outraged righties feel it should be. Truthiness counts here, not facts.

No idea of what the precedence is, no interest in learning the facts, nothing but a desire to be angry. No wonder there are so many Trump fans on this board.
