Un-American: Obama will skip Scalia's funeral but visit Cuba in March

Castro welcomes
Obama

President Obama will not attend the funeral for Justice Antonin Scalia on Saturday. The last sitting member of the US Supreme Court to pass away was Chief Justice William Rehnquist in 2005--and President George W. Bush was at his funeral.

However, Obama will visit communist Cuba next month.

Dear Leader has his priorities.

Scalia's funeral will be held at the opulent Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, which is just three miles from the White House.

Obama has been stamping his feet like Rumpelstiltskin over his desire to appoint Scalia's replacement and not leave the selection to his successor.
