        They didn’t give you the context - McCain asked Obama to speak at his funeral in the spring. No one knew McCain and Aretha would pass at the same time.

        The great welfare president will not attend the Queen of Soul's funeral, so I guess the tears were fake as everything else during his miserable reign in office.

        So, you don't like facts? You could have done 30 seconds of research to find out why he wasn't going. You, dear, are the ignorant party in this scenario.
