So you saw a post on Facebook where someone said that Obama is the first president to miss a funeral?

I was asked where I saw someone posting like it and I tell you where I saw several people doing so...but I'm still in the wrong. Get over yourselves.

😆 How exactly does your post NOT relate to mine? You are clearly responding to Surtur about my post.You remind me so much of Alpha Centauri. It's your way or nothing at all even when you are clearly wrong.
Wrong again. Read what I said, I don't even read your posts nor do I care about them, and I was wrong about nothing. I said for every person that agree's someone will disagree.

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 timeNancy 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.
Yeah, Obama attends the funerals of Dorothy Height and Clementa Pinckney, but they are black..so, that fits with his agenda. He failed to attend Margaret Thatcher's funeral, who would rate higher than Mandela in the 1st category, not to mention Ariel Sharon's. The fact is, unless you are black or white democratic, Obama will not prrsonally attend. Had Ron Reagan just died, Obama would not attend.

Even if that was true, so what?

For every person that says "he" meaning Obama, how can you misrepresent me saying "he" and that means I was talking about you?
So again the topic was Obama and the funeral.
I said "he" meaning Obama.
I dont think anyone else here had problem understanding who I meant.
Again, "It doesn't really matter does it, for every person that says he is wrong there will be another that says he is right"
So the original statement was talking about Obama, not you, and you were never quoted and you were not even on the same page as my post to Surtur.
So you just acting crazy and acting the victim for no reason.
Plus to be fair if you want to say people are acting like Obama was the first to do stuff like this...it's not the only time people had selective memories. Like when Trump says ban all muslims temporarily you have petitions to ban him from the UK. Yet in the past we had a president who more or less wanted the same thing and apparently we had no petitions for that.
So if you want to say this is being done at least we can take comfort in the fact it's not only done to Obama.
