On 23 April 2017 the web site 'Last Line of Defense' claimed President Barack Obama’s burial plans were a lavish waste of taxpayer funds:

'When a president dies, the country pays for their burial. In the case of a president like JFK, who was a war hero and assassinated in the middle of a term, something extravagant is in order. His burial at Arlington with the memorial paid for by the people cost almost $4 million in today’s money, adjusted for inflation. The Kennedy family paid for the casket, vault and the eternal flame.

Barack Obama has just submitted his plans for burial in a plot that will house his entire family, citing the Kennedys, the Tafts and the Roosevelts as precedent, inside a monument he had designed to celebrate the nation’s first black president. The monument, which will occupy space on the National Mall along with monuments to Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and hundreds of thousands of fallen heroes, will cost the taxpayers roughly $120 million and will be listed as a national historical place with 24 hour protection from the 3rd US Infantry Regiment, just like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.'

The claim and iterations of it predictably drew outrage on social media:

Although the story subsequently spread to other sites, Last Line of Defense is a f**e news site whose disclaimer states:

DISCLAIMER: America’s Last Line of Defense is a satirical publication that uses the imagination of liberals to expose the extreme bigotry and h**e and subsequent blind gullibility that festers in right-wing nut-jobs. We present fiction as fact and our sources don’t actually exist. Names that represent actual people and places are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and do not in any way depict reality.

So many posts on OPP bring to mind the words of George Costanza, from 'Seinfeld'...

"Just remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it." Or, want to believe it.

I'm sure that the prison system will have a protocol for Obama's burial.

Good point, Mikey.

quote=eagleye13]Obama's burial costs
Some may want to know;

When a president dies, the country pays for their burial. In the case of a president like JFK, who was a war hero and assassinated in the middle of a term, something extravagant is in order. His burial at Arlington with the memorial paid for by the people cost almost $4 million in today's money, adjusted for inflation. The Kennedy family paid for the casket, vault and the eternal flame.
Ronald Reagan, one of the most influential men in history, is buried in California at his P**********l Library, paid for by donations from the people and the Reagan family. In fact, other than Kennedy, which we can all agree was warranted, no president has ever cost the taxpayers more than $100K in today's money to bury.
The clause in the P**********l Contract enacted by congress in 1819 states that the president shall receive the burial service deemed fit for his stature and that the cost of the funeral and burial plot will be paid for by the people of a grateful nation. While every president who has died in modern history, except Reagan, took advantage of that perk of the presidency, none have gone so far that anyone would ever have noticed. Until now that is.
Barack Obama has just submitted his plans for burial in a plot that will house his entire family, citing the Kennedys, the Tafts and the Roosevelts as precedent, inside a monument he had designed to celebrate the nation's first black president. The monument, will cost the taxpayers roughly $120 million and will be listed as a national historical place with 24 hour protection from the 3rd US Infantry Regiment, just like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The memorial would be built immediately upon approval and occupy the Northeast quadrant of the lawn near the Washington Monument with a view of the White House:
The monument itself would include quotes from his years as president along with a giant bronze statue and burial crypts for him and his family under a large arch:
You heard that right. Obama will be guarded around the clock in a monument among those of our founding fathers and greatest heroes, paid for by the taxpayer. It's not too late to call or contact your congressman and object.



JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GALL OF OUR EX PRESIDENT,
EXTRACTING EVEN MORE MONEY FROM THE TAXPAYERS![/quote]

I think that is very appropriate. After all, Obama is a New Age Founding Father of sorts in his own rights. He is well loved in Britain, Germany and France, as well as by the majority of the good people the these United States of America and the greater Americas. He is a first fruits of a sort, being the very first descendant of people who were once cruely and inhumanely ens***ed in this country, and systematically and forcefully separated from their cultures, values, languages and histories, being severely handicapped in education, wealth, and civil respect for more than 300 years! For a descendant of a people who labored and continue to labor under such tremendous and widespread institutional racial disparities of such a magnitude and scale as the people of identifiable African descent who were FORCED to become Americans, I'd say that President Barak Obama's achievement of becoming the duly elected President and LEADER of all the free world is nothing short of phenomenal and worthy of the highest historical and patriotic recognition which could ever be awarded to a President in this country.

I predict that his friends will raise money for a monument and dev**ed followers will come to pay homage to him. As America's first C*******t President he will be revered with all of the other icons of his movement. I think a tomb of honor close by his heroes Stalin and Lenin is definitely in order.
