That's what I thought. One thing you don't have the right to do is tell people whose funeral they have to attend. Anyway Michelle is attending so all of the talking heads can just STFU!

Michelle Obama will attend the funeral on the president’s behalf. Historically, presidents have not attended the funerals of former first ladies, but current and former first ladies usually do.

Supported by actual quotes and transcripts, of course.


Do you remember "Grey Poupon"-gate?

Or umbrella-gate?

How about when Obama wore this awful tan-colored suit? That was a bad day for America.


EDIT:
How could I forget the "terrorist fist-bump"?
