I don't get this. Like surely you want him to do his job, like give speeches at big events, especially if they've been scheduled for months, rather than attend funerals all the time.
He found time to stop and sing amazing grace at a funeral. I guess he was lucky he didn't have to do his job that day.

No, the article very clearly states that he is missing the funeral because he is giving the keynote speech at SXSW.
In fact, I don't think the article states it, but I'm pretty sure I remember Michelle Obama was scheduled to also give a speech there, however it seems she is cancelling her speech (not the keynote obviously) to attend the funeral. That seems like a very fair compromise between paying respect to the former first lady and keeping the promised appearance that the South by Southwest organizers and attendees counted on.
I read OP. And I already knew he was not going to the funeral, do you think I get my news from KMC? You have been lying about who you really are to everyone, so who is dishonest here?
Let me get this straight, you are only allowed to post baseless "claims" and "jokes" but no one else it.
Keep thinking that and trying to play me as a fool when you do it in every thread.
Just face it, you have no one to talk to here but me because no one here can stand you because you lie about everything.

I will admit though when she died my first thought was "Wow she was still alive?".

If a Civil Rights icon doed, he would have canceled that speech. Obama does not attend military or conservative funerals. He made sure to have time for Mandela's funeral.

Sure, but what is the threshold? There's obviously three things to consider, a) how important was the deceased to Americans and the world and b) how personally important were they to Obama and c) how important is the scheduled work Obama is doing at the time
Nancy Reagan just falls far short of someone like Nelson Mandela in both categories the first categories. And the keynote speech at a big festival is a bug commitment.
Obviously there is a cut off point, you don't want him to go to the funeral of your next door neighbor, right? Apparently the Obamas decided that for them this warrants Michelle attending the funeral, and Obama holding the previously agreed upon speech.
Conservatives are just trying to spin this as a huge insult, but it really isn't.
Conservatives wouldn't have given him any credit if he had attended the funeral, so it's not like he had any real incentive. Plus, aside from being a conservative icon, she wasn't really that important.

This has the relevance of saying "if the murderer had not killed the person, he would not have gotten in trouble."
I can't believe you really think people would actually criticism him for going, it would have been an honorable thing to do, quit making excuses OV which are really just false.

I could imagine Republicans spinning it in a way to say "it's awful he cancelled his important speech just to go to a funeral".
It's pretty obvious that Obama can't do anything that people like you would approve of, because it's not about what he does, it's about your hatred for him. That is, you're not honest actors.
