(CNN) - According his official schedule, President Obama did not attend the May 25 memorial service in Jackson, Mississippi for the workers who died in the Deepwater Horizon explosion because he was en route to a fundraiser for Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, in San Francisco.
At Thursday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked why Obama did not attend the service. The president's spokesman answered, "I'd have to look at the schedule. I don't know the answer."

This should be Breaking News, IMO.
Real classy, Obumble.
He has priorities, don’t you know that.........
The real story here is why CNN is running this story.
If I were a relation to one of those men who died, I wouldn’t want Obama there at all.
“”He has priorities, don’t you know that.........””
His TOP PRIORITY is trying to figure out what his TOP PRIORITY is. He lost his list!
For a moment I thought it was, “President attends fundraiser during Golf...”
Which I would not put it past him to do.
As$hat.
We knew this... how come CNN’s just figuring this out now?
Of course I'm being facetious, but I often get the feeling he just doesn't give a crap about us “normals”
I would hang my head in shame, if it were me.
scumbag.
What can you expect — he went golfing during the funeral of the President of Poland...
“scumbag.”
Don’t insult scumbags.
Don’t worry - they’re mentioning it on CNN.com but I doubt they’re making it a headline on cable news. They’ve got to protect the muslim Marxist ya know.
It’s nice to see how much Obama respects the men and women in uniform, especially those who made the ultimate sacrafice./s
Since his efforts to stump for candidates appears to have caused their defeat in elections — good, let him attend the fundraiser for that miserable woman. The more he associates with her, the better her chances of being defeated.
Friday night.
