RW media making a big deal out of Obama not attending Nancy Reagan's funeral. (Obama Group)

Excuse me? Nancy Reagan's husband was a stupid, hateful, narrow-minded bigot with his mind stuck in the Leave It To Beaver era. And Nancy stood by him every step of the way. His views were so opposite of those of President Obama it is not even funny. In his remarks about her passing he gave her credit for spurring medical research. I think that was good enough. The Reagan mind-set is something that belongs in the past, not the future. Is there anything else they can complain about?

I'm hoping President Obama gets a well-needed rest and has a great time at the South by Southwest Festival.

and current Presidents have no obligation to attend the funerals of people who have not held office.

Just more Obama hatemongering.

...sitting presidents never attend the funerals of former first ladies. The sitting First Lady does.

If President Obama HAD gone, than they would attack him for seeking a photo op at Nancy's expense!

PEACE!

when they were in office together. We have seen Michele, Hillary, Roslyn and Nancy had respect of each other. If Barbara could make the campaign trail with Jeb she could have made the service. They just rant and rave about Obama.
