I was frustrated with Obama for not attending Nancy Reagans funeral..heard it on the news

and heard the talking heads discussing that it was disrespectful and in bad taste......until i found out it was tradition that only the First Ladies attend the funeral of one of their own.

I was angry with Obama for returning the bust of Winston Churchill, again, disrespect....until I found out TWO busts existed and one was on loan from the British Prime Minister whilst the one given to LBJ was restored.
Cruz perpetuated it again in a answer to a question on the CNN debate.

Everything needs to be cross checked for validity...everything

Faux News has poisoned national new sources

Him: Nobama is showing his lack of class again by not attending Nancy's funeral
Me: Huh, I thought usually only the First Lady attends the funeral of another First Lady
Him: I guess, but the untrustworthy Halfrican could've used this opportunity to show he isn't all that bad
