Why did Obama recommend Anthony Weiner give his wife Huma funeral Carnation flowers as an act of forgiveness?

ah, yes, the new york post. Aside from the fact they led the nation in bad pun headlines regarding weiner, they really do have a bad habit of stretching the truth, and as such, are not considered a legitimate news source. That said, i read the article and obama's name was never mentioned, bringing up the question, why does the right wing obama hating public feel they need to make up blatant lies?
