Wow...after 9 hour Aretha Franklin funeral, Hillary & Bill Clinton are at McCain's funeral

[hlthe2b]

Just saw Bill and Al Gore speaking...
They have stamina

[MaryMagdaline]

1. Stamina

I thought she was dying per Pecker’s national enquirer articles

[HipChick]

2. Meh...short plane right to DC...Michelle Obama just got

back from Europe...and she looks great!

[hlthe2b]

3. Hardly a short plane ride after 9 + hours in Detroit at funeral to DC

what is your problem with the CLintons that you are so dismissive and seemingly contemptous?

[HipChick]

5. Not exactly requiring superhuman strength...anyone that accepts a invitation to a Black Homecoming

know exactly how long they can go on, and they plan schedule accordingly...

Flying back from Europe, with a time zone, and being in DC next, is another feat..

[nolabear]

8. I don't know, Girl. I'd be whupped.

But I think if you’ve got to their age and still do what they do in general you’ve got staying power.

Glad to get a chance to see the real presidents today, sad occasions or not.

[HipChick]

12. Exactly...I heard Tweety say the President is here...and then immediately correct himself...

Clintons are professionals..sure it's grueling....

[Ilsa]

29. It would exhaust me. It would be too much.

The feelings of grief and also celebration of two great lives would zap me.

[uponit7771]

4. They're both in early 70s, I pray that I have that much stamina at that age

[hlthe2b]

6. exactly... why the other poster is so contemptous of the Clintons, escapes me

I love the Obamas as well, but damn. Save that for the orange a'hole.

[PatSeg]

7. I'm in my early 70s

and I know I don't have that kind of stamina. 9 hours of anything can be exhausting.

[uponit7771]

9. I'm in my forties in 9 hours at black church would have wore me out, you need to stretch

[PatSeg]

24. Can you imagine Trump

spending 9 hours at a black funeral? He only has stamina when he is the center of attention.

[bdamomma]

32. or stand in the back of the church

for exiting to get some air. Wow, two days back to back of what we were before. We need to get our moral compass back.

Fuck tRump.

[drray23]

27. Yeah but do you travel first class and get shuttled in limos?

People who are public figures learn to cope with schedules like that and they are not traveling cattle class like we do.

[PatSeg]

30. Good point

And they aren't waiting in lines either.

In 2012, I went to two Obama rallies. I managed to get through the first one, though it took a lot out of me. The second one, I passed out just before Bill Clinton spoke. Both required hours of waiting in line. Except for passing out the 2nd time, it was worth it.

[HipChick]

31. Exactly....folks have no idea...they are more than likely traveling by private plane

non commercial....

[EffieBlack]

10. I'm not as old as the Clintons but would be exhausted after yesterday

Sitting through a 9-hour funeral in the public spotlight, then flying to DC and getting up early to head to another funeral also in the public spotlight DOES take stamina.

[HipChick]

15. Clintons did not stay the whole 9 hrs....they left shortly after Bill Clinton spoke..

[EffieBlack]

20. Ok - 6 hours. My point stands.

Not sure who peed in your Corn Flakes this morning, but whatever.

[HipChick]

21. More like 3hrs top....Not sure why all the negativity and poison this morning..

so unbecoming

[EffieBlack]

22. Funeral started at 9:30. I believe he spoke around 3

I don't understand the negativity either. You might want to work on that.

[HipChick]

23. And your point is to attack me?

Because others are questioning the stamina of the Clintons? That crap belongs to tabloid newspapers..

Go take a seat...a couple of stadiums...

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. 3 hours is still a long time to sit for folks in their seventies.

[stonecutter357]

13. lol fail !

[Hortensis]

11. This would have been a day of rest compared to the

grueling endurance trial of the months of campaigning. She had to collapse from the flu to get a day off.

Lol. At least she no longer has to multitask while her hairdresser beats all records for fast. That's clearly her own, tidy and forget it, styling.

[stonecutter357]

14. K&R

[Srkdqltr]

16. Boring

After Arethas celebration this is booorrring.

[hlthe2b]

19. yeah... the music so staid in comparison... Dramatic contrast

African American celebrations of life and Irish wakes are far more to my liking...

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Yeah, no comparison.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. It's a different tradition. Both are good.

[bronxiteforever]

17. Cheeto cant come because golf carts aren't allowed

Ole “239” would be a huffin and a puffin.

[malaise]

18. Seriously that is impressive

I did not expect to see them here.

What a slap for the Con - three former Presidents and two (Al Gore and Hillary) who had it stolen from them.

[mobeau69]

28. Wish Jimmy And Ros could've made it.

[msongs]

34. the importance of the event to participants is more important than its entertainment aspect nt

[hlthe2b]

35. well, of course it is...
