Yes, it was class to not go.

No, it wasn’t. Not going somewhere where you’re not wanted is not “class.”

DougBH:

He showed respect in this instance. If he had gone, you would be talking about how he forced his way in just to get a photo op. And you know the Bush’s wouldn’t have made a big deal about it at Barbara’s funeral.
And I agree with the reasons you gave for his not going. He said terrible things about GWB and Jeb, and I don’t thing either HWB or Barbara would have forgiven those. Yes, it was class to not go.
Also, protocol is that he would not go. His wife went, and was apparently welcome.

What did he say that was so terrible about Jeb and GWB?
He may have, I just don’t remember anything except Low Energy

He has attacked Bush over his position on Iraq.

"Here we are, like the dummies of the world, because we had bad politicians running our country for a long time,” Trump said. He went on to mock fellow Republican Bush, sarcastically calling him a “real genius” over his decision to invade Iraq.

He also scorned the CIA over its flawed information about Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein harboring weapons of mass destruction."

Trump Mocks George W. Bush, Calls Iraq Invasion 'Single Worst Decision Ever...

The president, whose flip-flopping position on the Iraq War is well-documented, sarcastically referred to Bush as a "real genius."

Yeah, it was the “low energy” thing. The problem was, it fit so perfectly with Jeb. Marco Rubio and Cruz got over his attacks considering them just political tactics. I don’t think the Bushs ever did.

We can’t read his mind obviously, but I suspect he didn’t go because he would be unwelcome and there wouldn’t be the adulation he craves. The same reason he isn’t attending the Correspondent’s Dinner. It’s not out of respect with regards to his decision on that one either.

Did the family say he was not wanted there?

I am sure its not out of respects re the correspondents dinner. Did Obama ever attend a Breitbart dinner?

Was he invited to one?

I think you got the point.

How does a Breitbart dinner compare to the Washington Correspondent’s Dinner? And if they had such a dinner, did they invite Obama?

You’re the one who said they “weren’t wanted”

Back it up.

Why would you want him at your mother’s funeral?

Do you think a woman’s attractiveness reflects on her ability to govern or lead?

You must think that since you’re the one who brought it up.

What does “play the face you’re dealt” mean?

You clearly were trying to insinuate something you felt uncomfortable being clear about. In the future maybe you shouldn’t hide your opinions behind vague language. Just a tip.

You said it was a cruel picture.
It was a picture of Hillary’s face. What is cruel about that? Have you ever complained about an uncomplimentary picture of Trump being posted?

Ah so you want to play games. I thought you were more forthcoming with your opinions.

Joanne posted an unflattering picture of Hillary Clinton because she thinks Hillary is ugly.
I said it’s cruel to mock someone because of their looks.
You made a post defending Joanne calling Hillary ugly.
You are now trying to back off your post which also was making fun of Hillary’s appearance because you think it makes you look bad to mock women’s appearances.

You can try to backpedal all you want but that’s a pretty accurate run down of what happened.
