Controversial US politician Sarah Palin could soon be on her way to Britain to boost her hopes of challenging Barack Obama in the 2012 US presidential election.
Her representatives approached Margaret Thatcher to ask for a meeting as part of a bid to enhance her claim to be the ‘heir to Ronald Reagan’ and prepare to challenge Mr Obama.
And Lady Thatcher has agreed to see Mrs Palin, who stood as the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2008. A spokesman said: ‘We had an informal approach asking if Lady Thatcher would meet Mrs Palin if she comes to Britain and we said yes.’

Any trip by Mrs Palin to Britain could cause potential problems for David Cameron.
Embarrassingly, Mrs Palin’s team have not contacted No. 10 so far.
One individual involved in the talks about the visit said: ‘Palin’s people haven’t said anything about meeting Cameron. Their main interest is getting a picture of her with Lady Thatcher. I’m not sure they know who David Cameron is.’
It would also pose a delicate diplomatic protocol dilemma for the Prime Minister, who is trying to defuse an acrimonious confrontation with Mr Obama over the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Outspoken Mrs Palin has launched a series of savage personal attacks on the US President.
Mr Cameron would have to decide whether to pose for photographs with her on the steps of No 10, invite her in through the back door – or meet her elsewhere more discreetly.

There is a larce slab of the wall at the Reagan Library
That I saw in 2004 when I was there. I may have a picture of it somewhere.
Let’s see how fast Obama sets up a meeting with Lady Thatcher.
Glad you got to the library.
Am sure Obama will try to one up that trip.
I agree or he will convince the Brits to bar Palin from entering Britain.
That would be the last thing he would want to do.
He would really show his colors
Desperation inspires politicians to do desperate things to stay in power. Isn’t this what a thug would try to do?
Was there several weeks after Reagan’s funeral. The airplane exhibit was under construction. It’s an inspiring place. Was hoping to get back there this summer, but no go. Hopefully next year.
Don’t worry, someone will take the picture. I can’t wait to see it. Two of my favorite ladies.
Obama and the Democrats will come unglued...:-). I wonder if the MSM will cover the meeting?
You do not bar anybody who want to meet with Baroness Thatcher especially if you are invited.
Wait 'til she goes to Israel, maybe on this same trip. Then you will really see unglued.
Especially after the report about the Israelis wait for President Palin.
Was there also weeks after the Reagan funeral
and around a few years ago to see AFI & MarineI
You can walk right through Air Force 1
Even the Brits have PDS. LOL
I just settled for posting it there.
thank you...
