Barack Obama Absence and Louis Farrakhan Seating Theory
Barack Obama did not attend Aretha Franklin's funeral, opting instead to speak at John McCain's service as requested by the late Senator. Speculation suggests Louis Farrakhan may have been seated in the front row as a symbolic proxy for the first African-American president. Franklin had previously performed "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" at Obama's 2008 inauguration.
