I’m sure mr obama is receiving a lot of pressure to attend the event.

There are three females whining in the background;

“can we go ? Please, can we go ?”

Ok; take ‘my’ jet and go.

My sentiment’s exactly. It’s sad, but I’m sure the great Reagan will receive nary a mention, despite his request to “tear down this wall!”
