Just playing a hunch . . .
But if there is any chance at all, she will attend.

We know her kind. If she believes it is the right thing to do, she will do it.

May God bless and keep Lady Thatcher.

I hope she brings Churchill’s bust to sit beside her at the ceremony.

Does anyone know of a good biography of Lady Thatcher? I’ve been wanting to read one but don’t want to waste my time on a hatchet job.

She's been provost at Stanford University in CA since Obama came into office.

No one knows how she voted, only that, when asked about the importance of his win to blacks she agreed it was a historic marker.

Together they represented a positive force that we, sadly, may not see again.

How fortunate the West was that Reagan, Thatcher, and John Paul II were all in power at the same time.

Actually three of them IMO. Pope John Paul II at the same time was very helpful as well.

Hopefully, something to look forward to..

We all recall Lady Thatcher's magnificent eulogy at Reagan's funeral. She recorded it, some years earlier, at his request, when he first realized that his faculties were diminishing. There are many who believe that Reagan also reciprocated; that is, he recorded his eulogy of the Iron Lady, and that the DVD is in a vault in London, awaiting the day when Margaret Thatcher leaves us.

To me, that will be something to behold.

Yes indeed. I am younger than Clinton, but still in the same generation, baby boomer. I have told people if he is the best my generation has to offer, I apologize.

Baroness Thatcher’s personal assistant said some weeks ago that IF she is well she will meet with Gov Palin when she comes to England, however, the plans are tentative (as is all else) due to the lady’s health.
