Not a big deal, but ambassador fundraiser (which is a problem on a whole other level) should've at least sent some sort of staffer regardless
So what were they suppose to do with a bust that was on loan to the White House when the decided they weren't going to display it any longer in the oval office? Or should foreign powers be able to dictate to the President what decorations appear in the oval office?

It's a sad state of affairs when another country honors your heroes more than you do. Obama and his thugs are a sick bunch.
Proof of the article's bias, ie not an objective source.

How does that say it best?

The statue IS in another country. How would you like Americans to honor this statue? Perhaps the American ambassador could host a lavish breakfast for the people attending the unveiling? Perhaps the American ambassador could attend that unveiling? Perhaps the American ambassador could make a brief speech to the attendees, honoring Reagan's legacy?

Oh yeah, the ambassador DID do all those things.

And that's only your opinion.

Mine is I'll be happy when the sheeple wake up and realize at best Reagan was an average POTUS and hardly the saint he's portrayed as being. And, nice job bt the NeoConfused finding even more petty BS to whine about.
