Obama will fly halfway around the globe for Mandela, but won’t ruin his Saturday afternoon for Scalia.
IMHO, he knows exactly what this looks like - and wants to send a clear cut message to the leftists who support him.
Same goes for removing the Churchill statue from the WH, missing Thatcher’s funeral, etc.
I would not want the prick at my funeral.
Chief Justice Rehnquist was the last sitting justice to die, and Bush went to his funeral. Before that you have to go back to 1953 or 1954 and I have no idea if Eisenhower attended those.
Must have booked another weekend get away, hell 4 Americans were dying ion Benghazi and he went to bed and then off to Vegas in the morning so what does he care about others.
Shame those facts are lost on his cult.
They would at least have more class.
"The Obama White House in turn privately viewed Scalia as a legal 'dinosaur' who was horribly out of place amidst the ongoing 'fundamental transformation' the Obama regime was pushing for the country." Read more at dcwhispers.com, Barack Obama "Thrilled" Over Justice Scalia's Death
Maybe Obama couldn't wipe the smile off his face. Or afraid he could not resist gloating and dancing ....
I would love to know what Scalia thought of Obama. What a dirtbag.
My question to.
When was the last time a SCOTUS judge was found dead where there were no witnesses and a judge declared the death and causes over the phone and then did not order an Autopsy?
At least we won’t have to listen to the arrogant POS give a eulogy/speech.
Beyond Despicable
How did these hostile alien freak end up in charge of our country?
I’m with you! Can’t wait to hear what Trump, Cruz, Rubio, etc. have to say about this.
He went to a Baltimore Mosque recently, but not a sitting Supreme Court Justice’s funeral?
At least Don Barzini had enough stones to go to Don Vito’s actual funeral. This guy, not so much.
I think it’s the vampire thing.
Scalia is the candle and Obama can do nothing but retreat from the light.
He doesn’t fit in with the Italians. Good!
G. William Rice is a friend, colleague, lawyer and a leading American Indian law scholar/practitioner. He is Keetohaw Band of the Cherokees. I went to his funeral this morning. He was an important figure in these parts and had won an important Indian case before the US Supreme Court.
Obama honored the Rice family here in rural Oklahoma with a phone call of condolence last night. Yet he has little time for a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court? Disappointing, but not surprising. He should go and he and Bill Clinton could laugh with one another like it is the funeral of Secretary Ron Brown and then fake cry together.

He must have a golf game scheduled.
Obama has priorities. He travelled halfway around the world to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral, brought Michele along (and made a complete *ss of himself there).
