Some people sure don't have enough to worry about and/or a lot of misplaced anger. The president will be honoring his commitment to keynote the SXSW Music and Technology Festival. The first lady will attend former First Lady Nancy Reagan's funeral instead.

The Obamas had both been asked to keynote the SXSW festival.

First off, it's not just a music festival anymore. It also includes technology, movies and so much more. Around 400,000 are expected to visit.

With the death of Nancy Reagan, the Obamas have split their duties, with the President honoring his obligation and Mrs. Obama going to the funeral. To me this sounds like a sane resolution that would not be out of place at my house.

Anyways, that screetching sound outside your window isn't a car; it's hypocrites calling out the president for not attending the funeral. Watch their comments and they'll tell you it's "a matter of respect," all while showing ZERO respect for the elected leader of the free world. (Trust me -- look at the feeds of the people complaining.)

I can't believe that these people even dare use the word respect. If there was any fairness in the world, they'd choke on the word every time they said it.

I've been round and round on this funeral topic before, too. Exactly how much time is the president expected to spend going to funerals? How many funerals do you go to? I don't know about you, but I avoid all of them at all costs. I don't believe in funerals. I don't want a funeral and I believe they are a lot of wasted effort for everyone but the immediate family.

How many dog and pony shows does any president have to participate in? So the President isn't going to a funeral -- big damn deal.
