The Obama-worshiping tools at Snopes.com are working overtime to defend the president skipping out on the justice's funeral.
A case could be made for sending the vice president in his stead but this is not the first time the president has been missing in action. The US snubbed Lady Thatcher and the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack. The president also "arrived late" to the G-20 moment of silence honoring the victims of the second Paris attack. If we wanted to pile on we could throw in the many victims of jihad stateside who were ignored by a politician who saw no opportunity to use them as public relations pawns. We saw this movie and all the many sequels.
One can understand, in an anthropological or academic or Madison Avenue sort of way, the appeal of Barack Obama circa 2008. Eight years later, I don't see how the most partisan jihad-loving, Mao-quoting, superficial Democrat in America could like Barack Obama. The figure that has emerged over time is not just a rotten person, he is a rotten personality as well.
Petty
Boorish
Childish
Self-centered
2017 cannot arrive soon enough.
