I'm Criticising a serving president for not attending the funeral of one of the greatest American sportsmen ever to have lived.

That's just cynical and to me plumbing the depths.
You consider cynicism of a politician to be plumbing the depths ?
Politicians invite cynicism through their actions not matching their words , Obama is no different.
As I said above , if he were running I believe his decision may have been different.

Criticising the man for choosing his daughter's graduation?????
You have got to be kidding me.
Let me guess, if he did the opposite this thread would be titled "Obama doesn't plan to attend his DAUGHTER'S graduation!!!"
?!?!?!
No, it would probably read "OBAMA TAKES VACATION TO VISIT MUSLIMS FUNERAL IN US,"

Wow, I read the OP and assumed you were at least tacitly praising him for making a sane decision.
I honestly didn't think anyone would criticize anyone for making that choice - not even a sitting president. I don't see how it's even a consideration.
I would create a thread calling him a scumbag, bad father if he had chosen the Ali funeral over his daughter's high school graduation.
