NO Envoy From White House for Thatcher Funeral
« on: April 17, 2013, 09:03:19 AM »
I heard this yesterday and was SHOCKED!
Quote
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 US 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.

Though President Obama himself had not been expected to attend, there had been speculation that he would be represented either by Vice President Joe Biden or wife Michelle. However, the Obama administration had said it would not be attending Thatcher's funeral before the Boston bombings

Many thoughts ran through my mind (Trying to give Barry the benefit of the doubt) however I can not think of any logical reason. I can think of some not logical ones though, like:

> Purposely slighting GB
> Wanted to stay at home to push gun control and amnesty
> Had a T-Time scheduled.

Doesn't Barry understand that he is the President of all of the people in the US? I would want our President to go and represent me.  [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

I'm no fan of MT and could care less if he goes or not. Got a laugh out of the following tweet this morning....

Margaret Thatcher ‏@MrsFuckingT
It's a bit stuffy in here. Let me out, you fucking peasants.

Crudos why?

Do you feel similarly about Regan?

On a different note:

> The Queen of England came to the US for Regan's funeral
> Two Prime Ministers came to Regan's funeral
> Plus France, Germany, Russia, to name a few countries.

It was an absolute snub.

Not to change the directions of this subject BUT....

Margaret Thatcher brought the UK out of a terrible recession where more than 15% of the population was out of work.

I don't have the energy to get into a political discussion about the rusty old bitch, but here are some charts to tie you over....

I voted for Reagan once, worst mistake of my voting career. I sworn off Republicans and Democrats shortly thereafter.
