His incompetence at expressing the nations grief are profound. His failure to attend the funeral of BG Harry Greene, killed in combat in Afghanistan and interred at Arlington National Cemetery, his absolute silence on the ongoing war against police officers in this country, and his unfortunate and misinformed involvement in the untimely death of Michael Brown, killed while physically attacking a police officer but glorified as a victim of his own criminal misdeeds, are just a few of his gaffs, pronounced failures. So not only do I expect him to attend but would not be surprised if he delivered a eulogy.
