White House snub to Thatcher: Obama won´t send envoy - and leaves it to her old allies from the
Daily Mail ^ | 4/15/13 | James Chapman

Posted on 04/15/2013 7:08:52 PM PDT by Nachum

Friends and allies of Baroness Thatcher expressed ‘surprise and disappointment’ last night as it emerged President Obama is not planning to send any serving member of his administration to her funeral. Whitehall sources have revealed that the U.S. delegation at tomorrow’s service in St Paul’s Cathedral will be led by two Reagan era secretaries of state: James Baker and George Shultz.

The Queen’s decision to attend

The Brits should be thankful this classless POS will not send hmself or any of his worthless tax dodging administration.

There is nothing in the world that is more disgusting than a filthy democrat.

Obama is a real class act.

Americans should be proud to have such a man as president.

I didn’t think the Kenyan would waste his golf time at the funeral of a “typical white person”. FUBO!

Of course no official representation at the funeral. PM Thatcher was a woman, Conservative, and not a muslim.

It’s understandable that Obama doesn’t want to honor Thatcher. After all, if it weren’t for her, Argentina would have the Falklands (or “Maldives” as Obama calls them), and Saddam Hussein would have kept Kuwait.

I’m glad that Biden will not attend.

The Iron Lady did not suffer fools gladly.

Michele Bachmann was chosen to represent the GOP house.

A very apt and careful choice on their part. Though working class myself and a former union member, I am dismayed at the overkill on Margaret Thatcher.

It is true that jet lag and the difference of diet and climate tends to zap one a little. I have been to St Paul's Cathedral and escorted up to the very top. I saw the area in 1947 when all around the cathedral was flattened by air raids.

In spite of the travel and irrespective of what ever religious beliefs Michele Bachmann may have, this is true. She will at least be within Christopher Wren's masterpiece of over 300 years of age . Lucky for her and I know she will appreciate the experience.

Obama is acting as though his personal world view is more important than the historical relationship between two of the major western democracies.

It shows he does not consider himself a representative of the American people, but of himself.
President of Barack Obama.

I don’t want the African communist scumbag Ubama anywhere near Thatcher’s funeral.
It is far more appropriate that genuine Americans from the Reagan Administration attend.

Anyway, the rats don’t like any funeral they can’t turn into a campaign rally.

Actually that is the nicest thing he could do, to not foul the scene with the likes of his people.
