You know it is coming.

1. I'm pretty sure Obama doesn't give a single f*ck any more.

2. my guess is that he wasn't invited

or, if invited, he wasn't asked to give the eulogy... and the sitting POTUS NOT giving the eulogy at the funeral of a sitting SCOTUS member would be embarrassing and rude, so he found something else he "needed" to do... defrost the fridge... something.

3. Huh?

Obama is going to Cuba in March

[yellowcanine]

6. Doesn't matter - They will say he made time for Cuba but not for Scalia.

Or something. Best not to try to figure it out. Just wait and see if this doesn't become a RW meme.

5. First off, Scali doesn't deserve that honor

and let them talk crap. He is not running for office anymore.

7. I love that he irks them just by doing nothing.

What? Scalia funeral? Can't go...it's leg day at the gym. Squats, bro.

8. Yes Megyn Kelly and Dana Perino were salivating with faux outrage.

Megyn was braying about how unprecedented it was that a "sitting President" would not go to the funeral of a "sitting SC Justice - never mind that Scalia is hardly "sitting" any more in that he is dead and that she probably could not name one instance of when a "sitting President" went to the funeral of a SC Justice who died in office.

10. Can't skip leg day, brotato chip.

9. I'd rather he go to Cuba.

We've been working on normalizing relations with them and quite frankly Scalia's putrid corpse will still be there when he gets back.

11. "Sorry, can't make it. I promised Marco I'd stop by and see his grandfather."

"That commie-loving bastard!"

12. I'd skip the funeral, too. There might be cooties.

Who knows what evil is leeching out of that pile of ashes.

13. Alex Jones will try to claim it's further proof of his civil war theory.

Yes he's actually claiming that a civil war is going to break out over Obama's Supreme Court pick.
