On Monday, the funeral of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was shot under disputed circumstances by Officer Darren Wilson, took place. Slated attendees included Snoop Dogg, Governor Jay Nixon (D-MO), Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO), P. Diddy, Spike Lee, Jesse Jackson, and giving the eulogy, Al Sharpton.
The White House has also sent three aides to the funeral: Broderick Johnson of My Brother’s Keeper Task Force; Marlon Marshall, deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement; and Heather Foster, adviser for the Office of Public Engagement.
Which begs the question: why would the Obama administration send not one but three attendees to the funeral of a strong-arm robbery suspect who allegedly punched a police officer in the face – but ignore the funerals of other, more worthy characters?
Here are six people whose funerals the Obama administration took less seriously than Brown’s.
Margaret Thatcher. No senior White House officials were sent to the funeral of our staunchest Cold War ally, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Instead, President Obama sent the charge d’affaires at the US embassy in London, and the former ambassador to Britain, as well as former Secretaries of State George Shultz and James Baker. That drew the ire of the British press, with the UK Sun reporting, “A No 10 source said last night: ‘We are a little surprised by the White House’s reaction as we were expecting a high-profile attendance.” The Guardian said that the White House sent “distinctly low-key official representation.”
Chris Kyle. When the famed sniper was murdered at a Texas shooting range in February 2013, not only did the White House make no statement, the White House sent nobody to his funeral. . . .

How about “He’s wicked”?
I think I just found two departments that should be slated for removal.
The Blackums and Bailey circus is in town!
Obama is more interested in stirring up the hate whitey sentiment.
Well, words don't fail me. Obama's a self centered evil narcissistic son of a bitch who needs to be forcefully removed from the White House, shipped off to GITMO and interrogated relentlessly for crimes against America! (that is if he's not on a golf course somewhere ........... FOUR!!!!)
Quite frankly, I don’t think he really cared a tinker’s darn about Brown either, truth be known. It was an issue that he had to address or totally lose the press and his base.
Don't you know that he is such a bad golfer that he must take as much time as possible to perfect his score even if it means that he misses a few events here and there.
Geesh! Y'all get off his back.
Shirley Temple.
Or was it charging the officer with guns ablaze that made him a hero?
In any case, the administration has been looking for a fight since the beginning. Whats pissing them off is that in six years that really cant find anything to ignite the fire. Time is running out and they will grab at anything that resembles a bona fide conflict.
As everyone has been saying, this is not about building up America and making it better, its all about destroying anything thats good about it.
That would be three departments.
Missing these were not due to absent mindedness or incompetence. Missing these events were intended as insults to America and the Free World.
And all those in war zones who were killed on his watch.
They don’t fail me, this is what Democrats consider Presidential material and it’s been going on for quite a while. Don’t forget they also ran drunk killer Ted Kennedy for President and Al Sharpton, imagine if those guys won. This is what happens when Republicans nominate wet noodles, Democrats win.
