Will NOT attend Scalia's funeral service.

What a dick move.

If Scalia was shot by a Policeman, he'd go.

This much is true: President Obama didn't attend D-Day commemoration ceremonies in 2010, 2011, or 2012 (though he did attend on the 65th anniversary of the Normandy invasion on June 6, 2009).
However, the claim that 2010, 2011, and 2012 were the only years since World War II in which an American president failed to attend D-Day commemorations is patently false. This is easily confirmed by checking the U.S. State Department historian's list of presidential visits to France.
Here are the facts:
The first ever American president to participate in a D-Day commemoration in Normandy was Ronald Reagan on the 40th anniversary of the invasion, June 6, 1984. He visited only that one time during his entire eight-year term.
Reagan's successor, George H. W. Bush, never attended a D-Day commemoration at all.
Bill Clinton attended only once, on the 50th anniversary of D-Day in 1994.
George W. Bush attended twice during his eight-year term of office: on Memorial Day 2002 and on the 60th anniversary of D-Day in 2004. (He also, in 2001, dedicated a stateside D-Day memorial in Virginia.)
As stated above, as of this writing Barack Obama has attended only once during his term of office, on the 65th anniversary of D-Day in 2009.
Between 1944 and 2012 — a span of 68 years — exactly four U.S. presidents attended D-Day memorial ceremonies a combined total of exactly six times. Barack Obama was one of them
