Speaking of the inauguration: It's the usual form for former presidents and their wives to attend these functions. That's a good tradition; former presidents form a small and exclusive club, and if one can set aside partisanship for just a moment (yes, I know), they have some very compelling things in common, having all held the most stressful job in the nation. But this time, Michelle Obama is making some waves by declining to attend Trump's inauguration with her husband.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama will skip the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, the second time in two weeks that she is not attending a gathering of former U.S. leaders and their spouses, but former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush will be there.
Laura Bush and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will join their husbands for the Jan. 20 swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, representatives said.
The former first lady's absence at these functions could raise a lot of questions. Are the Obamas having marital difficulties? Is this latest refusal to attend a sign that Michelle Obama is peeved with her husband's chumminess with the president-elect at the funeral of President Carter? They did seem to be chatting like old pals, even sharing a guffaw or two at various moments.
I don't care about any of that but I have wondered what Moochs new Butch haircut look was all about.
The American people want refunds and handcuffs for these crooks.
