Has to. Regardless it’s expected

He’s a Statesman. He would, if invited.

Have you seen the weddings in which people have choreographed an amusing dance down the aisle for participants? Why does this pop into my mind now? Shame on me?

Even if he is seated next to a smiling Joe Biden?

Obama will not go. The Clintons will go with the most beautiful smile on Hillary face. She deserves this moment.

But what if he goes dressed in a tan suit?

Accessorized with his Nobel Peace Prize medal.

*Snort*. And his poll numbers

I don’t really know how to respond to this, because, deep down, I know he will.

Because he shows respect even to the lowest of the low.

Once you’re president, you’re absorbed into the machinery of state, and that machinery expects you to show up. If he wanted to make a statement—and respect all of us—he would not go and let us all know why.

The current US administration shits on the machinery, so Obama doesn't have to play by the rules, too.

Respect should be given only when it is earned.

I give respect until it's shown to be misplaced.

Except in this case, it's been shown to be misplaced. But Obama and Biden will both attend because they're both good men. The question is, will his widow attend?

Right here. I'm with you Bill. My default is respect bc that's how I choose to operate. But disrespect me and now it's my turn.

Respect for the office, though?

There’s no greater disrespect that’s ever been shown to the office than by reelecting Donald Trump: rapist, felon, child trafficker, serial fraudster, and overall pointless bloviating moron

On the other hand, he made fun of Trump more than once, even before 2016, so we know his respect is rather low. So it would be fake respect to attend his funeral.

Funeral? I say stick a plastic presidential seal on a dumpster & toss his fat ass in there The eternal memorial Tumpster dumpster

I hope Obama goes and takes a hammer and wooden stake with him...

I sort of like the idea of a dignified and intelligent leader going on my behalf to mark the end of a monster.

You know Michelle won’t go.

He needs to bring a mirror to shove beneath his nose. Corpses can't fog a mirror.

Well, I’m wondering if I want to go, just so I can turn my back to the motorcade. Imagine the streets lined with people turning their backs as the cars pass 🤔 of even better no one there at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'll be sending my thoughts and prayers.

I will be lining up to piss on the grave

Will others be allowed to dance on it first?

Ha ha good question.

Just to check the legitimacy of the death certificate!

He can throw a copy of his birth certificate in the casket.

Can’t hit like enough!!

That would be akin to a crucifix, for banishment!

That's why I don't want him dead. I want him debilitated. Lying in a nursing home bed. Alone. Maybe after his family spent down to be eligible for Medicaid.
