Someone probably told him that it would be improper to grandstand or promote a race-based agenda at such an event... and since that is the one thing he knows how to do, he decided it would be much better to spend his time with the president of the World Bank.

I doubt John Galt would insist any President attend the funerals of all senior officers...

It should be clear to all in the military just who this man is and who these people are.

The military swore an oath too.

Okay, my IMAGINATION at work:

"In a news report, a reporter for CNNABCCBSMSNBC asked the daughter about the President not being at the funeral of her father at Arlington National Cemetery. In a soft voice she said, "That useless empty suit has no reason to be with honorable men, having no honor or class himself. The worthless pimple on the butt of politics in the United States was not welcome and I'm glad he had more pressing State matters with which to deal, you know, golf." The reporter fainted.

did anyone expect something different, I doubt it.
he is an ongoing embarrassment to the usa.

It has to be a fund raiser to require his attendance. Or, a putting green nearby.

Yes, the Golfer-In-Chief has no class but I would not want him or Bozo Biden anywhere around something that personal, especially if a speech was to be made. I feel my stomach turn whenever I see Obama hang the Medal Of Honor on a real hero.

Precisely what I told my daughter, who sent me this link. Sad statement, eh?

No doubt she'll receive a letter acknowledging his service - with a presidential rubber stamp signature.

Low-class behavior? No-class is more fitting,

I agree, there is no way I would want him at mine.

I LOVE "Commander in Least"! Another perfect epithet.

Here’s some pictures from the funeral.

This is what people should get upset and protest about. Shameful.

It’s better that he wasn’t.

Of course Obama wasn't there. He could gain nothing by being there.
