All five living U.S. presidents and their wives – except one – attended former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Thursday morning.
Former first lady Michelle Obama was notably absent, missing in action, a no-show. Her husband, former president Barack Obama, arrived alone and was seated next to President-elect Donald Trump. The two were seen quietly chatting and laughing together ahead of the service.
Where was Michelle?
According to CNN, she had a “scheduling conflict,” and is “still in Hawaii on an extended holiday vacation.”
According to seating protocol, if Michelle had attended, she would have been seated between her husband and Trump.
