President Barack Obama is preparing for a fierce battle with the Senate over the Supreme Court vacancy, but he’s not planning to attend Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral — a decision that puzzled even some of his allies and incensed conservative media.

"If we want to reduce partisanship, we can start by honoring great public servants who we disagree with," Obama's former "car czar" Steven Rattner tweeted with a link to a headline about Obama skipping the funeral.

You expected anything classier? At least he won't be hijacking the funeral by jaw-flapping an I-Me-Mine speech.

It would curdle milk! IIRC, the woman next to BHO was a leader from some EuroCountry who had the reputation of being a bit flirtatious.
