(131,224 posts)Obama is giving the eulogy, which Fat Nixon couldn't stand to be present for anyhow. He has to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral (thanks to Alice Longworth), and if he has to just sit and listen to a better man being deservedly praised to the skies he couldn't stand it.

(31,997 posts)no one wants him there either. He can't not bring himself to be the center of attention so he needs to not go.
it would be funny if flotits went and again set next to Obama and we saw a genuine smile on her lips.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
