Why'd all the people leave the funeral?

What's the deal with the president's leaving the funeral all at the same time? Aside from it being downright rude...Why would they all leave like that?

1. Security.

Damn place has to be locked down when they are there.

2. I thought it was meant

to leave the family to a more inimate service with their actuals friends. That seems respectful.

3. I don't know...

4. To Many Prezes If you ask me....

I think truly the only person who had true buisness being there is Carter.....The other prezes were there for Photo-Ops

6. I'm glad they were there to honor her.

She and her late husband were very important to this country and it would have been disrespectful if they had not gone. IMHO.
Though W. has a hell of a nerve to show his face anywhere.

7. Yep

Bush looking for poll numbers.
Clinton campaigning.

5. Presidents are party/event crashers no matter how good their intentions.

Getting out early restores normalcy to a gathering.
