Last night's Guildhall dinner in honour of Ronald Reagan's centenary was a truly glittering and warm occasion.
The British roasted lamb and the sunny Californian chardonnay evoked the close Anglo-US relationship of Reagan and Thatcher as much as the fine speeches by Condi Rice and William Hague.
But guests were left asking, where on earth was the American ambassador to London, Louis B Susman?
"Our ambassador should be here," said Lynn de Rothschild, the American entrepreneur who is married to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and was one of Hillary Clinton's key fundraisers in 2008 as well as a supporter of several Republican presidential candidates. "This was an historic dinner to mark Reagan's centenary and to celebrate him as the man who ended the Cold War. What could not be more important?
"Why is our ambassador not here on Independence Day? No excuse. How is it that America is not represented in this room by our ambassador? It is appalling that no representative of our government is in this room. This has the feel of petty partisanship."
Ambassador Susman is, of course, a long-standing Democrat fundraiser, nicknamed the vaccuum cleaner for his skill at sucking donations out of the wealthy. And his efforts to fill Obama's campaign pockets was said by many to be his main qualification to come to London.

SHAME
The vacuum cleaner really . . . . you know the rest.
Further display of BS idiocy from this lame ass administration. =.=
It warms my heart to read the comments following the article.
Administration ordered him not to attend.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
At least his boss could vote “present.”
Was this an official US sanctioned event, or something organized by a group of like-minded conservatives?
Ya think?
Definitely worth checking out - thanks!
Disgusting leftoids!
I hope we end up electing a president with enough backbone to throw the bums out.
President Bush tried to play nice guy and did not purge the bureaucracies of their Clinton era appointees. He paid dearly for his gesture because his administration was undermined from within by the lefists he left in place.
Contrast that with the way the Clintons cleaned out Bush 41 appointees as soon as Bill was sworn into office.
Well, we know it isn’t like the guy doesn’t like to eat!
So where can you buy one of those baseball caps with the bill to the side...I’ve been looking but haven’t seen them on sale anywhere.
spoiled teenagers
I suspect that this is precisely the case, and that it's a malignant narcissist thing - - Obama hates other presidents (especially GOPers) getting good attention, and inevitably inviting comparison.
One also suspects that the WH is in extended meetings cooking up squishy lies for the ambassador on why the snub of our British cousins on their honoring of our own (and great) president.
