    When horse face dies I'm not going to her funeral. Take that Obama!

    On one hand, it's poor form ...

    On the other, this has been an outstanding commitment of his for a while (and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a substantial appearance fee built in) so it's not like this is an outright snub ...

    It's just standard Obama at this point ... he's got 10 months left and is mailing in the non-essentials IMO

    Can a sitting President charge an appearance fee?

    That doesn't sound...accurate.

    Are you suggesting that Obama follows the rules?

    Nancy will be rolling in her grave once she gets news of this travesty.

    In all seriousness, were they close friends?

    When Sark failed to start a GO HUSKIES chant at Don James' memorial service, did you shrug that off by sarcastically stating that Don James was rolling in is grave, and then ask hey what's the big deal?

    Or let's say Sark skipped Don James' memorial service. That would be extremely distasteful. Poor form is poor form.

    That's not the same thing at all.

    If Carol James had died after Don.....would you have expected Sark to go?

    If he goes then the funeral requires major security, etc and the event becomes all about him. The right would criticize him either way.

    Nancy always carried herself with poise and class. I had a lot of respect for her, in spite of disagreeing with some of her views as I grew up in college in the 80s.

    I liked seeing the military guard carrying her casket. She deserved nothing less from our great nation.
