Thanks for posting this. I did not know this and its not something the right wing wants to be known, because then they can't demonize Obama.
These facts make it clear as day that the people expressing their disgust at Obama for not attending are, without exception, either ignorant, or pathetic shill hacks.
Six pages and many didn't even know Michelle Obama was attending, would have been nice to have all the facts regarding other presidents who didn't attend first ladies funerals before claiming outrage.
The Reagan worship of the hard right seems to know no bounds. As pointed out before, other presidents have sent their wives to these funerals in the past but now it's only an issue since Obama does it? It's not like he knew her personally or something.
There are some things, by virtue of their station in life or the capacity in which they work, that people do. A sitting president attending the funeral of a former president or First Lady (regardless of party) is one of them.
It's called maturity.
Except that sitting presidents regularly don't attend the funerals of former first ladies.
What will you people complain about after this year, I think you will miss him.
It took 7.5 years for you libs to stop harping on George Bush... I imagine after Trump is elected we'll all bemoan the Obama administration for 7.5 years as well.
Obama isn't attending Nancy's funeral because there's nobody worthy to bow down to.
