Obummer seldom misses an opportunity to show us what a spiteful puerile person he really is. I do know that the word "midget" is now verboten in polite company, but our fearless leader is seldom polite. Why is he such a peewee? Or course, among many other things, it is because he is the first president in American history not to attend the funeral of a sitting Supreme Court justice ... in this case Antonin Scalia ... see: Politico Story.
And this is not the only time that Obummer has shown his infantile partisan contempt for some justices on our highest court ... those justices who don't toe his political line. He had previously embarrassed them as they sat in the front row for his first State of the Union address and petulantly dressed them down publicly for one of their decisions ... see: New York Times Article. What a dwarfish and unpresidential snit! If Obummer were any smaller, he might disappear altogether.
January 20, 2017 can't come soon enough ...
If you read the article you cite it says, "There’s not substantial historic precedent for presidents attending the funerals of sitting justices." Consider yourself fisked.
ReplyDeleteMost rational Scalia aides say that the ceremony at the Court is the most appropriate venue for the president to attend. As Hillary would growl, "What difference does it make!"
You ignore that these are opinion quotes from Politico ... I use these liberal sources so lefties (like you) don't automatically ignore my citations.
DeleteObummer and wife spent a whole two minutes paying their (dis)respects ... how very nice!
