It’s better that he wasn’t.

Okay, my IMAGINATION at work:

"In a news report, a reporter for CNNABCCBSMSNBC asked the daughter about the President not being at the funeral of her father at Arlington National Cemetery. In a soft voice she said, "That useless empty suit has no reason to be with honorable men, having no honor or class himself. The worthless pimple on the butt of politics in the United States was not welcome and I'm glad he had more pressing State matters with which to deal, you know, golf." The reporter fainted.

Of course Obama wasn't there. He could gain nothing by being there.

I LOVE "Commander in Least"! Another perfect epithet.

No President, no VP, not even the Secretary of Defense attended the funeral. This man is the highest officer to be killed in "battle" since Vietnam. Absolutely disgraceful. Whether you believe in the mission or not, this man was asked by the country to go and do this mission, he was killed doing it. He deserves our respect and honor.

Yes, the Golfer-In-Chief has no class but I would not want him or Bozo Biden anywhere around something that personal, especially if a speech was to be made. I feel my stomach turn whenever I see Obama hang the Medal Of Honor on a real hero.

Low-class behavior? No-class is more fitting,

Someone probably told him that it would be improper to grandstand or promote a race-based agenda at such an event... and since that is the one thing he knows how to do, he decided it would be much better to spend his time with the president of the World Bank.

It should be clear to all in the military just who this man is and who these people are.

The military swore an oath too.

did anyone expect something different, I doubt it.
he is an ongoing embarrassment to the usa.

It has to be a fund raiser to require his attendance. Or, a putting green nearby.

No doubt she'll receive a letter acknowledging his service - with a presidential rubber stamp signature.

I'd stay away, too, if I were our pusillanimous pres.

From Byron York Aug 16 - Seems POTUS was on the links ... http://twitchy.com/2014/08/16/talk-about...

There was no political advantage for him to be there. Now, if there was a possibility for a fund raiser -- perhaps.

Clueless-in-charge lives up to commander-in-least!

Here’s some pictures from the funeral.

This is what people should get upset and protest about. Shameful.

Like a cockroach only when not wanting to be seen.

do not hang things like that on the wall. this family
deserved privacy from our president and vp, and
I am actually glad that they got it. -- j

Maybe if the funeral had been held at the golf course, the Commander-in-Thief might have been there?

I doubt John Galt would insist any President attend the funerals of all senior officers...
