Obama Snubs Thatcher Funeral
Margaret Thatcher, the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century, was laid to rest on Wednesday. The funeral took place at St. Paul's Cathedral in London as thousands of guests from around the world gathered to pay their respects. Not among the guests, however, was a single Obama administration official. Apparently, the White House was too busy exploiting tragedy in the final days leading up to the Senate's failed gun control vote to send any senior members. Either that, or perhaps the administration was simply expressing its hatred for strong, conservative women. The U.S. embassy remarked that it was "a hugely significant week in terms of U.S. domestic politics." Further, a spokesman went on to explain that Michelle Obama and Joe Biden are "the president's point people on gun control" and that "there is a lot of movement on Capitol Hill on gun control issues." But Republican Speaker John Boehner did send a House delegation.
To say the least, Obama's snub of the Iron Lady's funeral caused the British "surprise and disappointment." Recall that Obama sent an official delegation to the funeral of Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez -- a socialist with close ties to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Cuba's Castro dictators. The fact that no one in the Obama clan could even make an appearance is deplorable and speaks volumes regarding their open hostility toward Liberty and the heroes who brought down the Soviet Union.

As Fat Albert would say, "You are like school on saturday, no class".
What do people expect from this administration?

Obama has NO decency at all.

I have the highest regard for lady Thatcher. She was one tough babe.
For the U.S to have not sent the V.P. to her funeral is on one hand deplorable and another thankful in the eyes of Madame Thatcher.

EXTREMELY poor judgement on our part. For what it's worth, I apologize to you folks across the pond and would have deemed it a signficant honor to have been there. A lady indeed.

Obama HATES the British. He was well brainwashed in that hatred as a result of his grandfather's Mau-Mau roots. Remember one of the first things he did upon taking office was remove a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House.

I don't think Margret Thatcher would have wanted him there anyway.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Are you guys telling me that George Shultz and Jim Bakker who actually knew and worked with the woman weren't good enough to represent the US? She left the British Government 23 years ago and even George W Bush turned down an invitation to the funeral. Give me a break.

I doubt that the Thatcher family was disappointed that Obama wasn't there.
They were probably relieved.

It's traditional for the sitting administration to send at least someone. You'll need more than a break if your going to be an apologist for the pinko-commie in the White House.

Amanda Thatcher read my favorite verses. Such power in those verses! What an awesome verse to read at the funeral of a true world leader.
Rest assured, no such reading will grace the halls and fill the voids when obammy is finally sealed in his box.

Obama don't like women. He likes latin lovers like hugo chavez.
