Oh no he didn't! President Barack Obama opted to skip former first lady Nancy Reagan's funeral on Friday, instead scheduling an appearance at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival this week.

The funeral won't be totally void of Obama's, however, as first lady Michelle is set to attend on the president's behalf.

Meanwhile, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be upping up her popularity, as she plans to appear at the service as well, The New York Post reports.
