Oh I freely admit that lefties are self-absorbed narcissists who claim that the more letters you have after your name, the better you are as a person and a leader. Delusion becomes you......and the rest of your crew.

And aren't you precious. Playin' spell cop for me. I thank you for flexing that mighty grey matter of yours in correcting me.

nearly everyone agrees that statement is false. the WH did send a delegation consisting of schultz, baker, susman and stephenson. you, butkus, are the one conflicting opinion. you believe that obama merely asked them ( and most likely the state department picked up the tab for travel expenses ) but did not send them.

so my question for you, butkus, is this:

exactly what would a president have to do to send a delegation in your opinion?
I don't care what the mob thinks. Obama can no more send those two men than I could. They could have gone on their own if they wished to. You, wrecked, need to pay close attention to what I post. I have maintained this POV since I started engaging in this thread.

Send someone he has control over as a representative of HIS administration. Are you kidding? That is how HE would send someone. Not ask Baker and Schultz to go and he will , WE will pick up the tab.

Let's go at this another way. What if Baker and Schultz did not want to go? They are under no obligation to go. Obama can only 'send' those he has the authority to send.

The whining and gnashing of teeth of the haters just gets more and more pathetic each day.

Whatever will they do come January 20, 2017?

Of course, then they will have Hillary to attack mercilessly and likely without merit for four or eight years.
Act like an adult. The term 'hater' is for 'pathetic' kids.

GW and Bush1 could have gone. But they would not have represented Reagan which is what Obama wanted. Try to keep up.

And they are the POTUS? I missed that. Or maybe they are frail and ill. Obama plays a helluva lot of basketball and golf. Couldn't he afford to miss a tee time or a 3 on 3 pick-up game?

Someone from our country should be there, regardless of what side of the fence they happen to be on. Politics shouldn't even come into play here. And, yes, because Barry occupies the position of President, he ought to, at least, go. Thatcher was a great leader and citizen (and a human being) and deserves the proper respect from Britain's allies.

So simple yet so hard for the left to grasp.

Barry shouldn't go, because it's over: the funeral was two days ago!
