Obama to skip Scalia's funeral
President Barack Obama is preparing for a fierce battle with the Senate over the Supreme Court vacancy, but he’s not planning to attend Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral — a decision that puzzled even some of his allies and incensed conservative media.
"If we want to reduce partisanship, we can start by honoring great public servants who we disagree with," Obama's former "car czar" Steven Rattner tweeted with a link to a headline about Obama skipping the funeral.

Perhaps the family has expressed that he not attend?
No surprise that SNIP Sean Hannity would be involved in stirring up the masses.
Wonder why the approach with this isn't "reserve judgment until we got all the details" as he and political conservatives kept saying with the police shooting videos?:rolleyes: -

Yep.

Golf is more important to the tyrant in chief Obama. I bet he won't hesitate to name a successor. If he could just find a gay Muslim black woman.

Obama is boycotting the funeral because Scalia offends the gay and lesbian community, staunch supporters of the Democrat Party. Gays are already attacking Scalia and have joined Obama in denigrating Scalia even before he is buried.

I don't believe the GOP will let Obama slip in a SCOTUS judge during his crippled (oops I meant lame) duck year.
Why? Because of what the Dems did to Robert Bork.
GOP "OK we will play by the DNC rules".

Oh and don't forget the Schumer incident when he vowed to block any of Bush's SCOTUS nominations.
But knowing the Republicans they just might not even use this ammo and let Obama appoint himself (joke of course).

Your standard answer when asked for a link to back up some of your garbage is to respond that you won't do our homework for us.
Now, you say you don't like backatchas? Who cares? -

Why don't you stick to the white privilege garbage, you have it down pat. Not a word of it is yours but you repeat garbage pretty well. -
Stop being simple.
How was that? -

Obama is too political to go to a funeral of a conservative. He said that he is not going. The Democrats, led by the gays, may even picket the funeral. You saw the social media explode with vile comments--Obama has to do what the Democrats want.
Obama is a petty little man with no compassion and no heart and no brain.
