Why can't the Bush family be more considerate and schedule the funeral during work hours?

Bill Clinton didn't attend Pat Nixon's funeral

Current presidents don't always, or even regularly, attend past FLOTUS funerals. Past FLOTUS and, sometimes, past presidents do.

I think it would be safe to say she didn't care for the man and was pretty outspoken about it.

It would be kind of weird if he did show up. I don't think any of the Bush clan wants anything to do with him.

I bet the Obamas show up. And the Clintons.

Presidents don't work on weekends. What the hell else does he pay a First Lady for?
