    It wasn't about "how dare" as much as it was about class and the office of the POTUS
    And Nancy Reagan was not exactly an average American icon

    agreed
    it was an opportunity lost
    would have been a nice gesture politics notwithstanding

    No, the point is no other sitting president has done it so please refrain from the faux outrage.

    And you're saying Lady Bird Johnson wasn't an American icon? I'll put her record up against Nancy's any day.

    Agree 100%. I learned something last night which I thought was interesting about Nancy Reagan that she consulted a astrologer for a majority of her life and famously while in the White House, lol.

    Michelle Obama was there which is enough. Gestures are often hollow.

    Umm well she did compare poorly with other famous witches such as the 'Wicked witch of the East"



    She did as well as one could expect dealing with a senile Ronnie and all the backroom suits pulling strings but ... "Just Say No" Nancy's time has come and gone... as it should

    I see little to idolize about Anne Frances Robbins life, and I have enough other things I dislike about Obomber without caring if he attends this funeral. Let Michelle go and move along.. nothing to see here.

    Yeah, I wore out a vinyl copy of "Welcome Back My Friends..." back in the day. Saw them at an all day (and night) concert in 1974 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. They played next to last of I think 13 bands that day and I was spellbound (for several reasons). Allman Bros. was the last band to play and thank God for that, because after their set was over they stayed on stage and just jammed for a long, long time with a lot of acoustical stuff that just mellowed me and my friend out after a very 'electric' day. Black Oak Arkansas was there that day and I've loved them ever since.

    This has the crowd at 200,000. I lived these last 40+ years thinking it was around 125,000 and that was a LOT. My friend and I were on the infield sitting on a green Schlitz cooler full of beer and I bet we didn't drink 3 a piece because we were in the twilight zone all day. Good times?

    Completely out of the blue, but I was watching some reruns of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Dude has game with the ladies. Guy is a pickup artist.

    Does anyone else agree that theTrump train is derailed with the violence bullshit? I do..
    Beginning of the end, imo. It all, in the end, clears the way for President Pantsuit.
    I also belive it is Moveon.org...bankrolled by Nazi WWII fuckboy, George Soros. Pro agitators that are carefully orchestrating the rally chaos. Soros' inexhaustable $ pushes the buttons, again.
    Bye bye The Donald...hola Hill.
    Obey.

    I tricked myself into semi supporting Trump for a while, because the thought of another Democrat (or any career politician for that matter) in Washington made me sick. But Trump and all of the controversy around him has become too much. He's dividing this country and his supporters are full of hatred, violence, and ignorance.

    I don't know what to do. I guess just sit this election out.
