Can you honestly say that if Obama had announced plans to attend, you would praise (or at least refrain from criticizing) that decision?
99% of people would just say oh he's going to Thatchers funeral. Now with this bomb that would all be on hold anyway now but some respect is owed to our allies who have stood with us for years. No Obama instead grabs his ankles and bends for the brudderhood to sock it to him.
Heck, send Mooochelle. She's always chomping at the bit for a free vacation on the taxpayers dime. She could also "hug the Queen" and make all kinds of other "I'm a ghetto girl" social faux pas.
This coming from someone who is the obvious arbiter of class.
Regardless of how you might feel about her and her policies or I might feel, not sending a White House rep is a slap in the face and the Brits have every right to be pissed. To me, this a disgrace, a political blunder and some of those posting here, today are showing how hateful they can be toward anyone they do not agree with. How many have heard the word "class"?
So he sends his respects for one of the most brutal, anti-American leaders in the hemisphere, but can't manage to do so for our strongest ally? Low classs.
1. Chavez was a sitting head-of-state at the time of his death. Protocol dictates what types of delegations are sent under which circumstances.
2. The delegation to the Chavez funeral was of lesser prestige than the President has appointed to attend the Margaret Thatcher funeral, and she had not been a prominent government official for decades.
3. Millions of Brits will tell you Margaret Thatcher was a brutal, anti-Brit who declared war on them and their families by the economic policies she advocated and enacted. There's a reason so many people are singing in the streets ..."Ding dong, the witch is dead."
That was kinda my thought. Who would want someone from the 0 administration at their funeral, for Pete's sake! Joe Biden? That would be good for some last laughs, I guess.

Another great attempt at providing actual facts to the intentionally ignorant. Thank you.
I know it won't make the least bit of difference but:
Damn....all that power she had and she was reduced to using Porta-Potty's in the end?
Wow...how sad.
the part that is sad, isn't about Thatcher, but Obama, the not-good-enough-to-clean-Lady Thatcher's-Porta Poti.
But I am not telling you anything you don't already know.
