December 24, 2014 Golfing Obama Sends Biden To Slain Officer's Funeral By Rick Moran In between rounds of golf while on his vacation in Hawaii, President Obama dispatched Vice President Joe Biden to represent him at the funeral of assasinated police officer Rafael Ramos.

“The President has asked Vice President Biden to attend the service for Officer Rafael Ramos and is grateful that the Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will be traveling to New York City to attend the service on Saturday,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz told the press pool while they were waiting for the president as he played golf. “Additional details will be forthcoming from the Vice President’s office.”

Don’t understand the widows wanting these rats anywhere near the funerals.

Dozens of policemen are murdered by criminals every year. While the tragic deaths of these police officers has received considerable national publicity, it is a local, not national event.

If this, or any other president, attends the funeral of two murdered police officers, what happens when two highway patrolmen are assassinated stopping a car in South Carolina or two border patrol agents are killed by drug runners in Arizona? If the president attends the New York funerals, and doesn’t attend the funeral of the next assassinated law enforcer, he is essentially communicating New York’s policemen are more important than police in the rest of the nation.

Take it another step. Why are the cold blooded murders of two policemen in NY important enough for the president to attend the funerals and the murders of any two average citizens on any given day not important enough for a presidential visit? If we truly believe in equality, we should not be valuing lives based on the occupation, or location, of the person murdered. Funerals occur daily for citizens murdered by criminals and those lives were just as meaningful to God and their families as the two officers killed in NY.

Within a few weeks or months two police officers will be murdered on duty in a town in middle America. Their deaths will not be mentioned in the New York Times, or on Fox News. Likely the governor of the state will not attend their funerals, much less the Vice President or President. Yet the event will be no less a tragedy.

There are many things for which to criticize this president. His decision not to attend the funerals of two specific police officers, out of the dozens killed in the line of duty each year, is not something I will condemn. His behavior in this instance is consistent with the behavior of his predecessors.

You have a point but this has to be put in context.

There is a race war against Whites and a war against law enforcement and is being run from the White House.

Personally, I wouldn't want the a$$hole there but I believe that there was an expectation by some that a show of support for law enforcement at this pivotal time by a president that has shown such disdain for them might calm the waters a bit.

Needless to say the soetoro regime's main focus right now is to foment racial division and anti police sentiment and the streets need to explode as soon as possible, preferably before the new Congress is sworn in.

Let's not forget that he sent 3 members of the Just Us Dept as his personal representatives to Michael Brown's funeral, a thug punk that robbed a store, assaulted a man 1/3 his size then tried to kill a cop.

Odummer is on vacation. To think he would even take one minute off his vacation would cause for the world to stop turning. If there is anyway this guy can show that there is any kind of perceived injustice, he will promote, define it and capitalize on it. The NYPD situation for obummer is like the Nuclear Plant in Japan that was hit by a Tsunami. He is so badly damaged, if he even gives the inkling that he will evn show, the brothers and sisters will complain that Obummer has chosen the Police over his kind. Just watch the winter of black discontent is not over yet. It is seething and will break out in a more significant way. watch Chicago - the blacks there will retaliate soon, because they are not in the news enough about all the black on black crime. Chicago will be heard by his brothers and sisters.

He has been encouraging racial division and disrespect for law enforcement since the beginning of his administration. I well remember the “beer summit” following the faux racial incident between the white Cambridge police officer and the black Harvard professor. He set the tone with that highly orchestrated event. Since then he uses every opportunity to subtly and overtly talk about oppression of minorities and white privelage.

If Obama attends the funerals, the press will make the ceremony about Obama, not the slain policemen. It will give Obama another public platform from which to spew carefully crafted sounbites for the media to regurgitate for several days. Let him stay in Hawaii, playing golf with his buddies, so the families can mourn and honor their dead with reverence instead of participating in the indecency of an Obama media event.

Obama had the potential to be a positive leader and use both his oratory skills and position to further progress in race relations. He consciously chose a different path. At this point in his career he is fully committed to his vision of the struggle, perpetuating of racial animosity for political power and financial benefit. The less we see of him, the better.

Will the N.Y. commie mayor show up?
Will the cops turn their backs on his sorry ass again?
Will Biden be drunk with his zipper down or some other very stupid something from his sorry ass?

When was the last time a president or vice-president went to the funeral of a police officer?

And yet the WH sends representatives to a thug's funeral in Fergerson.

Go figure.

The widows could meet Joe at the door and send him on his way.

I agree though I don’t believe that he could have been a positive leader. He was always going to be who he is. A bitter, racist, homosexual, mooslim, marxist. His job, by those that put him in power, was to weaken and / or destroy the US. He has succeeded.

The picture of Joe’s security squad beating down the widows would not play well on the evening news.
