One of Obama's few regrets was that he has been unable to "bridge the partisan divide". Maybe this is an example of why he has completely succeeded to strengthen the divide. BTW, no other president has ever failed to attend the funeral of a sitting justice. White House: Obama Will Not Attend Justice Scalia's Funeral by Halimah Abdullah President Barack Obama will not attend Justice Antonin Scalia's funeral Saturday, the White House confirmed. Instead, the president will pay his respects on Friday, when Scalia's body lies in repose in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court building. Vice President Joe Biden will attend Scalia's funeral at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the White House said Wednesday during a press briefing. When pressed for clarification on Obama missing the funeral, White House press secretary Josh Earnest repeated that "the president will pay his respects at the Supreme Court on Friday and he'll be joined with the first lady when he does that." When asked whether Obama's Saturday plans include golfing, Earnest stressed instead that the president believes it is important to honor Scalia's life and service.
The strategy of division is something the dims have embraced for years...they always create a bad guy.
Barack Obama has intended all along to divide this nation. You know this very well, as your posts prove. Too bad the Republican establishment in DC fail to accept this.
IMO, this is a complete and utter disgrace to the office of the president and a shining example of why/how he has managed to create the rift that exists in America today! He is skipping the funeral to save money?!?!?!?!?! BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! White House defends Obama's decision to skip Scalia funeral The White House is defending President Obama’s decision not to attend the funeral of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and pushed back on critics who called it a deliberate snub. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday it makes sense to send Vice President Biden to the funeral instead because his “security footprint is a little bit lighter” and he has a longtime relationship with Scalia’s family. https://www.google.com/search?q=obama scalia funeral cost&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
I agree with you, but should we really expect any different from Barack Obama? After all, he said it him self, "we should punish our enemies", referring to conservatives while talking on Univision, if I remember correctly.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Oh, he is a unemployed BLM professional protester - Ferguson and Baltimore.
