In what some critics are calling one of the most disrespectful moves of his presidency, President Barack Obama is skipping beloved former First Lady Nancy Reagan’s funeral.
Obama has announced he’s going to a music and technology festival instead.
Three days of formal mourning and solemn ceremonies for Nancy Reagan are set to begin today.
A small ceremony in the morning for family and friends in Santa Monica, California will be followed by a motorcade leading to a public viewing in the afternoon at Simi Valley’s Ronald Reagan Presidential Library that will continue on Thursday. Eight Secret Service agents who served the Reagans will act as pallbearers when the body is taken from the Santa Monica funeral home.
Among those who had RSVP’d for the service were former President George W. Bush and his wife, former first lady Laura Bush; former first lady Rosalynn Carter; and even former first lady Hillary Clinton.
Others who have said they will attend include President Richard Nixon’s daughter Tricia Nixon Cox and President Lyndon Johnson’s daughters Lynda Bird Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson.
Obama also received an invitation, but has announced plans to miss the funeral so he can attend the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas instead. SXSW is a large annual music, film and interactive media gathering which drew more than 80,000 attendees last year.
He will be sending First Lady Michelle Obama in his place.
Friday will be the funeral — which was planned down to the smallest details by the former first lady herself. Just as she was always by his side in life, Nancy Reagan will be laid to rest just inches from President Ronald Reagan on a hillside tomb facing west toward the Pacific Ocean.
“No doubt about it, the most important of her special requests was that she be laid to rest right next to the president, as close as possible,” said John Heubusch, executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library.
And while this former first lady and national treasure is laid to rest, Obama will apparently be busy glad-handing twenty-somethings and listening to independent rock music.

No class.
Amen
Impeach the bastard. He has no respect except for himself and the muslims. Take his place away and lock him up in the black house.
i agree
AMEN JOHN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE 4 YEARS A GO.
Should have been hung in public day of the first election. He told us he was going to change America, come help me. We didn’t listen!!!!
I Highly Honor and respect Mrs. Reagan, But I cannot make it to her Funeral/Memorial Services, and I will not Speak Negative of no One Else who do not attend It.
God Bless US ALL Now and Then.
Dr. LS
He is a menace for society and wouldn’t matter if he shuns Nancy Reagans Funeral or what! Good riddance to him, when he’d do more harm than good!
Tell him to take his wife with him. Nancy Reagan deserves better than the Obamas. Nancy Reagan was first lady for the people and will be loved and remembered for that.
Mrs. Reagan prayed to a different GOD. Obama bows to another. He only respects his own kind.
Absolutely right ! Add to this insult he ddi not attend Judge Scalia’s funeral either. I have never had such disdain for a president as I do this viper in chief. Ironically this snake in the white house gloats in glory over our comments as he feels he is accomplishing his selfish agenda in demolishing our country.
Payback for her hubby not attending notable funerals during his time. Do your homework Trumpers. God Bless PRESIDENT OBAMA and all hail PRESIDENT CLINTON2
Looks like another one who needs to get back on the meds.
Jimmy’s hat must be the foil variety.
Really, Reagan was a god and nobama is a dictator go trump 2016
Obama doesn’t want God’s blesing on him, you silly one!
A village MUST be missing it’s idiot!!! Here he is!!! It’s R!!!
bimbo straw hat go wither away , make obumhole happy you wanted GOD to bless his nasty ass
ESAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat…………… you must be in his house getting banged by him!!!!!!
Wow your sick
LOL
if you want Hillary it’s like wanting for more years of Obama you get you get that you better rethink what Hillary she’s a liar and should be in Leavenworth not the White House
The Reagan was vipers, good for Obama for not going
and you suck the little viper of the now resident of the WH!!!!!!!!!!
Bob, It is So true that ” The Best Plans Laid By Mice And Men..Can Just as Easily Come to No Good End !! ” MY Words..More or less ! ( Obama only hears his Own Music and Moves To suit Himself. Only Himself. ) AS for him not Attending Nancy Reagan`s Funeral…That Is his Call. But What Is Right And the Most Proper Action Sometimes Is not Left Open. He simply Takes His Openings. But his Time for Taking is Coming to an End. Maybe he is Looking ahead To When He and His wife Are to be ‘laid to Rest !. He Knows they Will not be given an honorable Sendoff. Wouldn`t you think THAT might Sting A Bit ?? On the same note.. He, Being The President …Should Know Better than to Act Contrary To Proper Protocol. This Country Is Made up of Many Diverse ‘opinions’. We all Pay for Them…one way
or another…right or wrong. Same for Obama.

Do you remember after his election the first time. He said it was our time to sit in the back of the bus. He’s vindictive.
He isn’t man enough to destroy our country. We will bounce back and he will be forgotten.
They should have never sent Obama or his wife an invitation then he would have been screaming that he had been snubbed. It would have been justice to hear the whiner-in-chief being snubbed for a change.
Two evils don’t make a right. Proud of those who don’t get down in the gutter just because someone does not do as they should. Frankly because of their stand and beliefs if it were up to me I would’t want them there. Just another instance where we can see why we need some major changes in the White House. Where God is the leader and we all strive to follow his laws. So thankful for the years the Reagans were our leaders. May they both rest in peace and let us all pray for strength and comfort for their family and friends along with all those who knew them.
Rest in Peace Nancy you were a very Special First Lady.
Nancy was a fine lady! She will always be remembered with fondness! The naysayers show themselves for what they are. Ignorant boors! And probably members of the donkey party.
i believe the muslim pig is still on drugs….. ha ha aha ha… another term???? you piece of pig shit would win a trip to gitmo where they would drop you off…. of maybe even before then…. in a pig farm shit area!!! you wouldn’t be found forever…. what muslims would touch pig shit….. not even for you or any Dumbass!!! now that is a funeral no one would be at…. i doubt moooooooooo-chelle wanna-be queen would even go!!! As for Americans….. ha ha ha… the party starts at 6:00 o’clock,gang…. will post more details later!!! GO TO THAT PIG’S FUNERAL????? DO PIGS FLY???? NO, LIKE THIS ONE, THEY DIE AND WE COVER THEM WITH PIG SHIT AND DROP IN THE OCEAN…. TO FILTHY EVEN FOR THE ORIGINAL PIG SHIT PILE!!! TRY GETTING INTO YOUR HEAVEN…. WE WILL EVEN SHOVE PIG SHIT UP YOUR ASS TO KEEP YOU OUT!!! KILLORY LEFT IN LINE…. SHE MIGHT JUST JOIN YOU, DEPENDING ON HOW SHE HANDLES THE LOSS OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
amen to that post.
yes so true. then we would have rev. “Ha ha” Sharpton & jesse Jackson screaming racism. just straight out ignorant of him,he should be ashamed, but then again, he doesn’t seem to have any shame !
I did not duplicate my comment you know the reason why you don’t want to Post it. it is written in favor of Obama
Go sleep with Obama, you 2 deserve each other.
Come on, let’s maintain some class here, even if Trump (and his followers–who are you?!) show no class!
I saw your post. You need to get back on your meds.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion even if it is wrong.
Will you please stop proving how ignorant you are to everyone? If Muslims and Christians don’t worship the same God, then Christians and Jews don’t, either. THEY ALL DESCEND FROM ABRAHAM.
Your are so correct, Mrs Reagan utilized Astrologers at the end Ronald’s term for decision making,
as Ronald was already beginning to succumb to Alzheimer’s.
They probably don’t want him there to pollute the atmosphere any way…
Totally agree with you Milton Lowe, The atmosphere will be a lot nicer without the head prick there. He is a disgrace to the nation and those that represent what the USA is all about.. If it were my mother’s funeral I would ban his presence – he is evil and he certainly would pllute the air.
I agree with you 100%. He is everything you say in your post. I believe the family will be relieved that he is not there. This man has no class, nor does his spouse. There are things in life that you should do because they are the “right thing to do,” even if you don’t like it. BO behaves like a spoiled brat with no regard for what is the proper thing to do.
I can’t believe there are still people who are living and walking around who still think he is doing a good job – but they’re out there. Shameful.
And if they vote for Killary, it will be more of the pompous same.
You are so right NoraB
But, what if they vote for Trump?! Some of his ideas are good (Of course, from one day to the next, I can never tell WHAT he stands for!), but he has absolutely NO CLASS. He’s less mature than my 3rd graders! Bullying, name calling, talking crudely! I could see him saying something stupid one time too many and getting us embroiled in a international incident–maybe even into another war! It scares me to think that he might be our nominee! I cannot vote for the “man!”
Nora B is right on everything. Obama’s never did or will have any class. Reagan’s have total class so they wouldn’t fit in there anyway.
Nora B I like your comment right on
I would ban him AND THAT THING HE IS SUPPOSEDLY MARRIED TO—I WOULD WANT HER? THERE EITHER!!!
AMEN
I agree
I know it won’t happen, but I wish they would send notice back to DC and tell Michelle “Don’t’ bother! Stay home! We don’t want you here! Save the taxpayer’s money!” That would be appropriate!
Absolutely!! I wouldn’t want her at my loved one’s funeral. She has probably spent more taxpayer dollars on travel than B. Husain Obama.
The FBI is looking into the amount she alone has spent on vacas—something’s funny–why did SHE got to Spain–who paid for that one and the trip to China! Hope they find enough in the records to sent her to prison–she can be cell mates of Obozo and Killary!!!
So totally agree with you!
GREAT IDEA……………………
THANK THE SUPREME ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE ONLY A FEW MOR MONTHS OF HIS RAIN
A few more months is to long!!!!! It’s a shame that he has know class!!!
Your grammatical errors are giving me a headache! Did you even go to school?
Too long & no class!
I do not think he will be missed. If anything President Reagan would probably turn over in his grave. Obama does no respect any whites and it shows by the way this country is divided since he got into office. If it was not for the whites he would never had made it anywhere. Maybe all the whites that backed him have now seen the mistake they made but I doubt it. It must be that there are a lot of white people who feel guilty about how they grew up so they voted based on skin color.Hopefully they will look at the candidates abilities this time instead of gender or minority status and name recognition and vote for who will do the job and get this country off its knees..
THANKS FOR the RESPECT WHITE GOPS GAVE HIM THROUGH OUT HIS TERM OF OFFICE. Lastly those of you who have class were not invited to the funeral but him., Obama
are you off your meds again?
You got to be kidding!!!!!
Actually I would not want that puke at my funeral and I am sure that if Nancy Reagan would not want him at hers either. For that matter michelle should not be allowed to attend either.
The real reason he’s not going is they’re not Democrats. He’s going to the music festival is to indoctrinate… Uh….encourage young people to vote for the Dems.
Obama is a Muslim who hates all past Presidents but that liar Clinton, he has no class and either does that ugly wife of his. They both are low class trash.Obama should of been impeached long ago.
Obama will never be impeached because he’s above the law. If it didn’t happen by now, it never will. Why don’t you see him on TV more often answering the hard questions like other Presidents of the past?? Because he put in an Executive Order saying he has to answer to no one. What does that tell you? He the chosen one by the New World Order to run it the way they want and help bring America to its knees and possibly Hillary to continue its demise….
Sharon-
Actually, he should have simply been arrested, tried, and convicted of any number of definable crimes, including but not limited to Fraud, Felony Perjury, and Treason.
If he’s impeached, that will, legally speaking, acknowledge that he is indeed a lawful president, when he is not now and never was, nor will ever be.
i like my idea, though; simply have a Federal judge with cajones issue an eviction order, then send US Marshals to escort him and his spendthrift wastrel of a wife out of the building, then identify their crap and stack it on the curb in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, if they fail to comply with the terms of the eviction order. This is done routinely to those who lie on their rental applications, ain’t it? D’owebama lied from the day he raised his hand before the Chief SCOTUS judge and uttered the words, “i , Barack Hussein Obama,” didn’t he? After all, Barry Soetoro seems to have been one relatively easily provable alias, based on the pictures alone, so even his claimed name by itself is a lie.
You can’t arrest the President without his consent.
I’ve got a flash for you, he hates Clinton, too, as he hates ALL white people. But Clinton is occasionally useful to him, so he tolerates him, but not because he LIKES him.
I wonder if this Muslim law is the reason President Obama did not attend Scalia’s funeral and has since announced he will not be attending Nancy Reagan’s funeral. According to this website it’s halal (forbidden).
https://islamqa.info/en/145532
It is not permissible for a Muslim to attend the funeral of a non-Muslim even if it is a relative, because attending a funeral is a right that one Muslim has over another and it is a kind of showing respect, honour and friendship that it is not permissible to show to a kaafir.
Obama just habitually spit in America’s eyes and set in his heart to ruin America. Trump and H Clinton are more deceptive about it.
It shows exactly who he is – a very shallow pretender of a “President.” Even official duties, don’t interest him.
He won’t be able to miss his own, now will he. Sooooon yes very soon.
Like every thing else associated with mau mau Kenya stick boy no class but a lot of ass.
OBAMA IS A SCUM BAG……………………………
Absolutely disgusting! No respect at all!
no heart for God or country .. and never has had … total disgrace to U.S.A. when are we going to get he is not or never will be for our country .. or anyone it
I wonder how the liberal media will spin this? Why wouldn’t he send someone else to the concert? That’s unpresidential. Switch with Michelle. There are probably lots of stars there.
The worst so called American President in American history. He’s too busy taking our freedoms and choices away and screwing the True American Tax-Payer on their Social Security, Health Care and plotting other ways to demise this country with his Executive Orders. He should be fighting Monsanto who is poisoning our environment and food. Oh thats right, he hired a CEO from Monanto into one of his cabinet posts. What does that tell you….If Hillary is found guilty on Benghazi, guess he’ll pardon her at the end of his reign.They’re all from the same Mold…
What else would you expect from a muzzy slime
Now you see what a worthless Black Man he is. America will remember him when he passes, I hope not a sole will show up for him. He is lower than whale shit stain on the bottom of the ocean!!
soul, not sole
Well, come on, be fair, he was being raised by a whore mother that screwed socialists, in fact, he’s clueless as to who his ‘real’ father is however, what’s important is Oscuma is hell bent to destroy America. Kills me the black race considers him Black when the reality is it’s a mulato.
Wondering how many will attend his funeral. Hopefully no one. You get what you give. No class, no heart.
The words that come to mind are not printable so no class will have to do !
I’m sure she would be pleased with his absence.
What a dick!
OBAMA,HAS NO RESPECT FOR NO ONE BUT HIMSELF.HE SHOULD BE BE HELD REPONSIBLE FOR THIS.NANCY REAGAN WAS A WONDERFUL FIRST LADY.SHE HELD HER HEAD HIGH IN EVERY WAY.SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL LADY.REST IN PEACE FIRST LADY.RACHEL
Hello. Yes another disgrace of BO characteristics. He proves again how disgusting and insincere he feels about we the people. Honestly, I hope his just as hateful, race baiting no classy wife she can’t go in his place, Her display of hate for US citizens esp whites will be toxin there. Plus Mrs Reagan was such a CLASSY lady full of respect and genuine concern for we the people and US. Something we all know MO WILL NEVER has ever been classy let alone sincere or compassionate for the US. God Bless the Reagan family and friends and thank you for all you’ve done for us.
That black BASTARD MUSLIM needs to be castrated, tarred and feathered, and ridden out of the country on a razor sharp rail!!
Amen, again.
A tird that just won,t flush.
Personally, I think this POS not being there is just the way democrats are.. All he would do is turn it into a political agenda for himself as he has done before. Let him attend BLM funerals. He does not have the respect of any one there..
He is a total disgrace to this country, the American people and humans in general. One day karma will catch up to him and he will be on the receiving end of all his misdeeds. I hope when his time comes and he passes from this earth, no one shows up for his funeral!
He doesn’t deserve a funeral. Throw that worthless scum in a dumpster.
I believe an old outhouse would be a better place and then cover it up.
When was the last time a sitting president attended a funeral?
It is the job of the Vic-president to attend funerals on behalf of the White House. One of the reasons are SECURITY.
He will need more security at the concert.
Give me a break! Always an excuse. By now I would think that people who voted for Obama would be smarter in the huge mistake they made!! We all suffer for it!! I’m not surprised his not in the same class etc as the Reagan were! Not even close! Spend our money to go to a musical festival on a work day!! His just a disgrace! He didn’t go to the supreme justice judge funeral either. The music festival gee I wonder how many protection he taking in fear. He would be safer at the funeral with less security. But because his African American not full blood no one says anything they don’t want to stir up things. I read that just yesterday and before as well. His day will come were he is going to take consequences for his wicked ways!
I want to go on record as saying that those who voted for our Traitor are the ones who are racist. THEY SAW THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN ONLY. I researched his background because I was and am not a racist but I found out that he, the Traitor to America, was and still is a Black Racist. I asked myself if I would vote for a White Racist and the ans. was NO, so I could not in good conscience vote for a Black Racist either!
John,
Pres. Clinton attended Trade Sec Ron Brown’s funeral. Pres George W Bush attended the Pope’s funeral & also Pres Reagan’s funeral. Are those current enough examples?
Why?Joe Biden do not have Secret Service?Obama is a Muslim sympathizer what do you expect?
Who told you that it is the Vice’s job to attend funeral’s? You are partial right, depending on who is being buried. How much respect is to be shown to the person and what was their position it the world. This is not the first time that he has disgraced his position by not showing up. I cannot forget the picture of when the world leaders marched arm and arm in France after the killings of innocents by isis. Who was missing? Our country’s outstanding traitor, that’s who.
Need to mark his spot so we can all can find the out house in the pig farm where he will reside
in hades forever.
Who would be that stupid to do that. I’ll have a party just for him.
Bravo !
WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EVER EXPECT FROM THIS ????? WHO STOLE OUR WHITE HOUSE? WORDS SIMPLY FAIL ME.!!!
Words don’t fail me. He’s a rotten worthless scum of the earth. More votes for Donald Trump.!!!
I can see you are a Trump supporter,
I guess you have never truly stopped to watch his body language and listen to the words coming from the Donald’s mouth being either the same or very similar to those spoken by the POTUS.
They both are epithetical toward anyone who oppose them or question their intent.
He’s a Racist.
We all know that Obozo is a racist.
The man is simply a complete embarrassing disgrace to the country , in short a Moron !
Can I give you some education that might help you to understand it better, there is only ONE race and that is the HUMAN race all others are ethnic groups. think before you open your mouth. Check it out for yourself. ONE RACE- THE human race. People get educated.
HEY GIVE IT A BREAK. TAKE OFF THE BLINDFOLD AND LOOK AT REALITY. YOUR LEFTIST WAYS HAS RAN THE COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND. YES WE ARE THE HUMAN RACE, BUT AS A SENSIBLE I SEE THE ISSUE WITH CLEAR VISION, NOT CLOUDED WITH THE KOOL-AID YOU BEEN DRINKING. RACE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE WORLDS PROBLEMS. HIDING FROM IT WILL NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE.
Thank you! Yours is the first level-headed comment I’ve read. All I’ve seen here is animosity. Muslim is becoming the newest derogatory term rather than a cultural belief system. Ranting about others here, bashing them for not fitting idealistic qualities many here have shown to be brainwashed with this ignorance. I do find it comical how off topic these threads get when I actually read them. All I see is an episode of the infamous Jerry Springer show. Anyone ever REALLY go back and READ their comments!? Too funny people.
Remember this come election day people. Pathetic.
We the people are fed up with the lies and deceit of the greedy politicians who think more of themselves than the people they represent. They are a group of self-righteous individuals who capitalize on every opportunity to benefit themselves. Our voice is being heard loud and clear. Politicians, you will mistreat us no more. We will elect a person who is not a politician and cannot be bought. One who is on a mission to take this country back and restore the greatness that it once had. We will elect a one Donald J. Trump. And so it shall be.
How sure are you George that Trump will be any different than the deceitful, greedy politicians that you speak of? He himself said that he could be anything that he wanted to be. I know what he is saying now, but can we count on him not changing after he doesn’t have to work for votes? Just asking?
Well if he is not then “We The People” will get rid of him as well. But that will have to be up to him. If we do it once we can do it again.
Exactly because Cruz can be bought too but Donald can not and will not. Go Trump
Cruz nor Rubio are NOT Natural Born . Check it out. SEE: Publius Huldah on youtube and scroll down to the video that has Cruz and Rubio and watch the whole thing and get educated about the Constitution and then come back and post on this site with more brains about what is being talked about.
Neither is Obama a U.S Citizen,Went to college as a Foreign Student if he was a citizen why would he need to go to college as a foreign student that is if he ever went to College
Cruz cannot be bought why do you think the Republicans in Washington hates him. Cruz will be a wonderful president. He is not a yes man.
I agree and he h as to fight t the whole republicans party plus the other candidates so what that tell you
I really didn’t expect any different from this President, NO RESPECT, AND NO CLASS AT ALL……..is he really an American? or just another Muslim from Kenya……you didn’t fool me.
What can be expected from a “negah mooslein” from who knows where? Scum like him do not attend funerals.
HE is NOT Natural Born. Again check out “Publius Huldah on you-tube and get educated. “NATURAL BORN’
Shameful! We need a new type of leadership, vote Donald Trump.
Sorry, Trump is one and the same as POTUS, they both have narcissistic natures, and care for no other than them selves.
Obama is a traitor and who wants that at their funeral.
Just goes to show how insane liberals were to vote for this POS. A disgrace to this country
Obama has to play golf so what the big deal
HE NEED TO BE THE GOLF BALL.
Is anyone really surprised with this show of disrespect and display of his priorities? He has continually shown his lack of respect for much of what is good about America. It has been commented that he has no class. I must differ—he has a lot of class-just all very low.
It just goes to show what class he and his wife have. It must be the Muslim way to show respect! We will just have to put up this HMIC for a little longer. Then ke can go back to his home and family in Africa!
Why should we have to put up with it ANY longer? I say no more. It’s time for him to go NOW. We The People demand it. Lets make it happen.
He is the most pathetic person next to the Clintons that I have ever seen..Can’t wait for him to die maybe they will bury him in a ditch!! Sad excuse for a human being actually surprised that he didn’t decide to go golfing instead..The Reagans were the best and she deserves more respect than that..
How anyone in our country can support anything about this low life disrespectful jerk is totally beyond comprehension. He has proven many times not worthy of being called a loyal American! What a shame he has lasted this long in office. Had he not been a minority or republican, he would’ve been impeached many years ago! Wake up america!
Thank You Obama for not disgracing Ronald Reagan’s legacy with your presence. GOD Bless America!!!! RIP Mrs. Reagan.
No surprise. He’s a classless low life!!!
You must remember that to a Muslim women are worth nothing. What else would expect from him?
Women are like a piece of s**t and should be treated as such, other than an when you rape them.
If the GOP had some balls they would of impeached Obama. Now they wanted to put up another wimp for President either Bush or Rubio. They sent their messenger wimp Romney who refused to bring out Benghazi in the debates with Obama to help destroy Trump. Not going to work— the people want Trump. Go Donald beat the socialist liar Clinton
DO YOU THINK YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THIS AS AN HEADLINE IN THE LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA? NOT!!!
Total DISRESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY.
It would be a total disrespect for Mrs, Regan if he attended.
Oh stop it! That’s not the full story . Biased media always bending the truth. Will unsubscribe immediately to your emails.
Then what’s the full story since you know everything?
you are an ass, you must be black and on welfare and a muslim/sympathizer!
Once again President Obama manages to fumble an opportunity to build goodwill. Once again President Obama demonstrates his ability to make a poor choice.
Funerals don’t last that long. He could make SXSW and attend the funeral. Austin isn’t that far from California and the taxpayers would be the ones to pick up the tab.
I think this is a good move for Hillary Clinton to attend the funeral. Many people will have a higher regard for her as a result of her basic showing of civility. It’s a shame President Obama has yet to learn that lesson.
I would expect a movement like that. From our so called president. He is so selfish it is not funny. Mrs Regan was a wonderful lady. And she does not need our use less President at her funeral Let go to .
The American public fell for the most superficial qualities in a person when they voted for Barack Obama. We got exactly what we deserved.
I usually don’t respond to stupid remarks but this takes the cake. You people don’t even read other people remarks John said it all, a sitting President DOES NOT attend funerals, it due to security. IDIOTS that’s what you all are, President Obama was voted in, deal with it INGRATES!.
glad you don’t respond since you obviously are an Obama lover You are the idiot with your usage of the word ingrate since the people that are responding to this issue are GRATEFUL that the scumbag POTUS will not be attending to tarnish the dignity of the services.
Yes voted in Ha some voters had been dead years and one black lady said she voted for him 9 times at the same voting place also he got 147 votes but only 90 people were registered to vote in one county
TOTALLY DISGRACEFUL. Pompous, self-centered, empty shell of a human.
What an ASS. His behavior is that of a classic psychopath. He is a lame duck and figures he has nothing to lose since he is not running for office again. It’s one thing to be a lame duck president and another to take pride in proving it over and over again. He demeans the office of president in doing this, and proves once more that he has nothing but contempt for the American people who voted him into office twice! Can’t wait until he is out of office.
Our ‘criminal in charge’ has no honor! Why would any one feel that his presence would be honorable, just another political agenda!
Stop hating!!! Who wants to go to a funeral of someone you don’t know anyway. I don’t find it disgraceful at all.
It will be more dignified without him.
Obuma has always been a dip stick, typical ass.
For those who state no sitting president has attended the funeral of a former president. William Jefferson Clinton attended Richard Nixon’s funeral in 1994
Everyone that has been following President Obama’s writings and reading materials, it explains why Mr.Obama can’t go to a Christian Funeral, because he consider’s himself Muslim. Haven’t you all noticed he doesn’t attend any of out Countries Heroes Funeral’s
The foregoing have expressed my option better than I can put into words. I hope the coming election puts a new organization in the White House, someone with a thought about the American people.
What more can you expect Obama the Divider in Chief. I will say Sending Michelle(Michael is still not sending the first Lady(Transgender) Michael/Michelle Obama). He wants the adoration of the liberal music attendees at this annual festival. I use to live in Austin (feel sorry for the Austinites)…but the motto in Austin is Keep Austin Weird and well, he is going so WEIRD is perfect for his attendance .
Speaks to his dismal character. What goes around comes around.
We all know how hard bami works so he needs time to relax. Whne he dies maybe the 20 something’s can attend his funeral while the Navy Seals can display their talents with the few rifles they have and shoot backwards between their legs at the casket for America’s show of disrespect for this clown who thinks he is acting in the capacity of president of ours not his GREAT NATION which it will be when DONALD TRUMP is elected as our next President.
just one of many acts of his lack of respect for USA, also muslim don’t attend non muslim funerals
What exactly are we pretending not to know?, This dereliction is nothing new.
This attitude added to the mental traits reveal deep judgemental impairment.
As always, Barak’s paradigms equal Obama’s enigmas.
How deluded were we?…
I was not fooled by this dope smoking foreigner from kenya…………
What do you expect from a lib???????????
I think it is only courtesy that he was invited. Why would we want o’criminal taint the funeral with another political spectacle? We all understand the trash he is, what honor could he even muster to bring? I would not want him there!
THANK THE SUPREME ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE HE ONLY HAS A FEW MORE MONTHS TO RAIN.MAY WE ALL BE PROTECTED FROM HIS FOLLY ,AND IDIOCY 🙁
Who would want that POS at their funeral? Moochelle should be shunned as well…
That’s ok Obama spoils everything anyway. Nobody wants him there. No class and no respect. That shows in the way he treats the Oval Office and the American People and America. January 20 2917 can’t come soon enough.
What goes around comes around. Other than Harry Reid and Nancy Piglousy, who bow at his very presence, I hope all ‘civilized’ citizens and world leaders boycott this worthless P.O.S.’s funeral when Allah calls to take him home.
What can we expect from someone whose life has been guided and nurtured by ‘Affirmative Action programs’. “It’s all about ME!!!!!!!!
There is no Allah for him……..It’s his maker…….Satan.
And the Oathbreakers will follow him to Hell.
ONLY 243 DAYS UNTIL WE ELECTED A TRULY PATROITIC PRESIDENT WITH HONOR AND INTERGRITY!
It’s no surprise the the Coward in chief won’t attend that’s how obama is I’m glad when is no longer the President thank God Almighty
Shame shame on you “Barry Soetoro”!! You and your family are the first low class foreigners to live in the white house. I am sure that history will not be kind to you when the truth of your actions and inactions come to light.
This guy is such a piece of “Street Trash” , a goat screwing, rug praying street Ni%^*ar. Hell is waiting for him!
WHY THE H#!! WOULD THIS MUSLIM AMERICAN HATING POS ATTEND RONALD REAGAN OR JUSTICE SCALIA’S FUNERAL.
WHAT .IS. SHAMEFUL IS THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM….OR THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS WHO RIGGED VOTES FOR HIM…

Soetoro has class, all right – well, you have to subtract the “c” and the “L,” first, though…and 2 witnesses need to hand that to him by standing up and testifying to specific instances of Treason that they have personal knowledge of witnessing.
Then arrest, try, and convict his lying ass. Preferably within a month or so, but if such an act must wait ’til he’s out of office, then let it be done with alacrity and dispatch; justice delayed is justice denied. From reading the Constitution, it appears that Congress may set the penalties for treason, but historically, that’s been hanging, right? So let the wheels of justice grind the bastard down.
He would be out of place anyway. Too many high class people will be there. The low-class BHO in the White House would stink the place up! I plan on watching what I can and don’t really want to see his ugly Jug-eared mug anyway.

Start of presidency 1981: US National Debt $997.8 billion
End of presidency 1989: US National Debt $2.1 trillion
Reagan began his presidency with a federal deficit of 2.5% of national economy and ended his two terms with that number doubling to 5%. Just four months into his presidency, Reagan told Congress that high taxes and big spending made the present economic mess and that doing the same won’t get the U.S. out of their struggle. That moment cemented Reaganomics and our current economics woes. The Democrats that fell at Reagan’s feet has to take their “spend and tax” methods and jump on board the “spend and borrow” Republicanism. To defeat former Vice President Walter Mondale in the 1984 election, Reagan’s chief of staff passed him a note. On the note read “Taxes are a big picture issue. If we want to win – and win big – the exigencies of the election force us to solemnly swear that Mondale is the tax increase candidate and Reagan is the no-tax-increase candidate.” The note ended by saying after Reagan get re-elected, he could do whatever he pleased with the generalizations like the deficit. Interestingly enough previous Vice President Dick Cheney said that politically Reagan showed that deficits don’t actually matter. Reagan proved that by running up more debt than any prior president and easily won re-election.
please know facts before leaping to poor conclusions.you people are upset because this country became enlightened enough to elect a half african and half irish man to be our president.anyone who says that has nothing to do with it has their head in the sand or is to ignorant to see truth when it looks them in the eyes.our biggest economic woes started with poor ronnie and continue to plague us to this very day.it started with reagan and if elected all will come crashing down under the misdirection of the donald.hatred is an abysmal way to define political and social policies.obama is the most refreshing leader we have had since kennedy and he was hated by many for being an irish catholic.i am a proud irish catholic who applauds obama and thanks god for his efforts to improve the lives of all americans not just the ones who are already way over compensated for their contributions to this society.there is nothing wrong with being wealthy if that’s what floats your bout but there is plenty wrong with exploitation of the society and its members when you owe it so much.i’m sure most of you are proud to say we are a christian nation.if you really want to show jesus you are a devoted follower,you wouldbe far more convincing if you tried acting like one.
What cave have you been living in for the past 7 years? Obama has fought to change everything this country was built on; especially anything to do with Christian Values!
After reading all of the comments, it is the consensus, APPARENTLY, that Obama is a disgrace to the United States , a traitor, and many more descripted words, that I wish not to post. He should have been impeached long ago. All those who voted for this piece of Sh…t are morons as well, Put them all in a jar together so they can wallow in each other’s torment. We all know that Trump will prevail, he will bring the country together, and screw the bigots, special interest groups, establishment, and all the crooked politicians in Washington, that are screwing us. That is the reason they are trying to stop him at all lengths. I believe that what is good will prevail. So all of you Obama and Clinton, traitors, go to HELL in a handbasket. For once we have a candidate who cannot be bought, bribed, or swayed. AMEN!!!!!
My greatest hope is that I can live long enough to piss on his grave.
There remain three good things about our current President, maybe four….
1. His being not at the Reagan funeral will add some class to the ceremonies.
2. He cannot run for another term of four years but he told 60 Minutes that if he could he would win a third term. Really??
3. Hillary is worse…and that is sort of a good thing for Obama.
4. Hillary is rumored to now not appoint Obama to the Supreme Court if she is elected. Whew!
No matter how much a president may wish it otherwise, they cannot “appoint” any SCOTUS judge; a president MUST obtain the consent of the Senate to do so. If they withhold their consent, then the president must select another, and another, and another, until that consent is finally obtained.
To the poster who said that “D’owe bama has done so MUCH for Americans, and we should be grateful,” really? What has he done? The major objective of his presidency – to have affordable healthcare for all Americans – is an abysmal failure, starting with his promise that “if you like your healthcare plan, you can KEEP your healthcare plan” lie through giving the exclusive, no-bid contract for D’OweBamacare to a college friend of his wife’s which crashed immediately and barely runs today(nepotism and favoritism without accountability), to leaving the Iraqi’s to suffer the tender mercies(none) of ISIS/ISIL instead of having a REAL plan to stabilize the Iraqi’s government, to FINANCING AND TRAINING the fanatic murderers of ISIS/ISIL, using them to attempt to overthrow the government of Assad’s Syria, then deciding to kill them off after Russia got involved, to giving tanks and planes to the Muslim Brotherhood(both of the last two being TREASONOUS Acts(see the definition of Treason in the Constitution), to making the largest number of Executive Orders in history, all of which are completely Unconstitutional therefore Unlawful therefore Illegal therefore CRIMINAL, to violating his oath of office from the instant he uttered the words “I, Barack Hussein Obama” when taking the oath of office, to firing the largest number of generals and admirals in the history of America – and on, and on it goes – so how is any of the foregoing GOOD? Just curious. And there are quite a few other issues not mentioned yet, either – didn’t want to get TOO boring.
Don’t know why anybody would be surprised by this. I assumed he would have better things to do than attend the funeral of a white REPUBLICAN First Lady. If he couldn’t be bothered to go to the funeral of a sitting Supreme Court Justice, why would anybody think he would show up for Nancy Reagan? And so the no-class American President continues on his merry way, as does his EQUALLY no-class wife. The Obamas are PATHETIC excuses for a POTUS and First Lady, compared to the Reagans. I doubt the Reagans will miss having Mooch there rolling her eyes and looking bored like she did during the “moment of silence” for Justice Scalia!
Surprised the hell out of ME that he found time in his busy schedule of golfing, attending festivals, etc. to order the flags flown at half staff in her honor.
HE’S A WASTE……..BEEN VACATIONING THE LAST 8 YEARS…….DID NOTHING FOR AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE.
Would you want Obama at your funeral? He is a disgrace to this country in everything he does. I for one am glad he is not going.
Would you want Obama to attend YOUR funeral? I sure would not!! His presence would detract from the beauty of a special occasion for a special lady. We want to remember her funeral as we remember First Lady Nancy – a lovely and gracious lady who we honor for her loyal service to our great nation.
Mega dittoes!
Well I respect the fact that Obama shows his outright contempt for conservative icons.
We are seeing some truth from Obama for a change.
I will also remind everyone that Obama has insulted our allies and showed zero class.
What a disgrace! Obama won’t attend the funeral, but he’ll send a nice letter saying he approves of it.
Obama has been a Douche Bag from day one. Yes he is.
swein pig cochon. in plain english praise Christ over his muslim
One could look at Obama’s snub another way, even though I believe it is because he is a worthless piece of Stalinist crap.
For the first time Obama realizes by him not showing up, America has a much better opportunity to mourn in a healthy manner for a TRUE AMERICAN and a REAL 1st Lady.
But knowing Obama, his snub is a snub, is a snub and nothing more. Kind of like him returning the bust of Winston Churchill to England, once he entered the White House.

Here is some information posted by one of my former students, Greg Allen.
1982 – First Lady Nancy Reagan attended the funeral of former First Lady, Bess Truman, on behalf of President Ronald Reagan, who did not attend.
1994 – First Lady Hillary Clinton attended the funeral of former First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, on behalf of President Clinton, who did not attend.
2007 – First Lady Laura Bush attended the funeral of former First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, on behalf of President George W. Bush, who did not attend.
I think at a certain point we have to actually look at the situation objectively and historically and not go ape over a fb meme.
2016 – First Lady Michelle Obama will be attending the funeral of former First Lady, Nancy Reagan, on behalf of President Obama, who will not be attending.
So, when President Obama does not attend the funeral of Nancy Reagan, it is because he is doing exactly what tradition – and Mrs. Reagan – would have expected.
How much disgrace should our country bear, it is sad that HE represents this country !!!
Over and over and over again Mr. Sotero demonstrates how much and what kind of “class” he has. He has more class than any man or woman I know, and that class is lower than that of any man or woman I have ever known. What an abysmal excuse for a man!
This should be no surprise….. Obama’s a dog! He’s proven this on many occasions.
The 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states- whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives (of which Obama loudly proclaimed to the both of them, and the entire Congressional Members of The Senate, The House, the Legal American Citizens, the illegal aliens, to The Supreme Court Justices, to ALL government employees, to Our Allies and Our enemies near and far. ” I do not need Congress to get what I want ” He does not discharge The Real DUTIES OF THE OVAL OFFICE, and He has broken HIS OATH as President- BUT “I HAVE A PEN AND A PHONE TO GET WHAT I WANT.” The President pro tempore and The Speaker should decide the issue with Congress, to swear in the Vice President Joe Biden, acting as President to fulfill the remaining months of the term of office.
Who does this surprise???????? How many years, lies and failed programs and policies does it take to show where this man’s loyalties are; not with the likes of the Reagan’s (no matter what his excuse is)!!!!!!!
No surprise. It isn’t the first time.
At least it’s the last time, hopefully.
This is what any one say, OBAMA IS A VERY BAD IN OUR HISTORY and also the biggest peace of shit there ever was. When Benghazi happen OBAMA WAS IN VAGES ON CAMPAN HE TOLD NEWS MAN THAT WAS JUST A BUMP IN THE ROAD. YOU SEE OBAMA REMOVED ALL THE SNIPERS THERE AND DID NOTHING, HILLARY CLINTON TOLD AIR POLET TO NOT BUT HE SAID I AM JUST 10min A WAY SHE SAID GO HOME. I am a vet at the hospital men were there and told me it was in fact some were there too. Hillary is a liar also a bitch plus not lady also she had Russia and China in her email she may full some people. Lets get to the best person in WORLD LADY NANCY REAGAN AND CAN CALL HER A LADY it is not good that Obama did not go to her funeral and Judge Scalia as well. Obama & Michelle and she is not a lady there both RACIST TOO.
he should have died during birth in Kenya. What a total waste of sperm!
What else would you expect?
That’s okay. He’s revealing himself for the classless jerk that he is. Whenever he goes to meet his Maker and the horned one below, we should greet his hearst as it slowy drives down the streets of wherever, not with rose petals, but with the roses THORNS( rhymes with scorn ).
So . . . The Usurper in Chief is going to honor that Great Lady by his absence.
Thanks boy, you finally did something right.
What a piece of shit obama is. This really comes at no suprise because he showed no respect by not attending the funeral of supreme court justice antonin scalia when it’s a common practice that presidents attend. But he never had respect for this country from the beginning along with his bitch wife that openly said it. Remember when he was first elected he wouldn’t put his hand on his heart for the national anthem, right on stage with others doing it he kept his hands at his side and you know most people didn’t even notice it, he only started doing probably because he was told he should after bad pres about it. So why would he have respect for other’s in his class. He’s done things so differently than any other president in history, breaking laws and breaking traditions is what he’s all about. Boy it’s scary at the thought of his legacy and that has aready started with removing terrorist off the watch list and planning to close gitmo, but it’ll be after the election to get the full monty.
