Obama's shameful Thatcher snub

Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was laid to rest today in Great Britain. The "Iron Lady" died last week at age 87.
Some commentators have expressed surprise that President Obama did not send a high-level official delegation to her funeral. I'm way beyond surprised. I'm ashamed....and angry.
After all, it is standard operating procedure for the Vice President or First Lady or, at a minimum the Secretary of State, to attend funerals of foreign leaders, even those from lesser nations.
Shame on you, Mr. President. You and your administration look cheap, small and petty.
It goes without saying that when one of the longest serving leaders of America's closet and most enduring ally dies, the United States should send a large and distinguished delegation of America's leaders, past and present.
Not this time.
Probably posted before, but deserves to be mentioned again (http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/04/17/obama-shameful-thatcher-snub/#ixzz2ZDsTdxpZ)
Just more proof of an embarrassing imposter in the house painted white.

He's a disgrace, to say the least.

That's disappointing. The President should be mindful of the fact that, as our head of state, he's our chief representative abroad. Regardless of his own view of her work and policies, he's responsible for expressing our collective condolences.

I hope when his time comes everyone in the world snubs him.

He's well on his way, and I hope that time comes soon.
