He's the President of the US, and Margaret Thatcher, like her or not, was a major player on the global stage in the 80's.<br /><br />Were Obama in any way professional (he's not, and this continues to underscore how petty, thin-skinned, and overall unqualified he is) he would send SOMEONE to officially represent him, because it's THE RIGHT THING TO DO. But as we see, Obama plays smallball. It's probably the only thing he does well.<br /><br />And while so many classless people plan to disrupt the proceedings, and while Leftists support Obama's snub -- I wonder how load they would squeal were the shoe on the other foot. When Bill Clinton or Barack Obama shuffle off thier mortal coil, how loud will the cry from the classless Left be to show respect? You know, the same people who reveled in Brietbart's death and were anything but classy about it?Acethepugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-81345824198784404112013-04-16T20:35:14.956-07:002013-04-16T20:35:14.956-07:00I must apologise for some of my countrymen, if the...I must apologise for some of my countrymen, if they can possibly be called that.<br /><br />Rest assured we're not all like that.<br /><br />Perhaps UCS Panther has the right of it, but I doubt that a modern William The Conqueror would find it worth the bother.<br /><br />Old Schoolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-18271695476867354222013-04-16T20:12:12.668-07:002013-04-16T20:12:12.668-07:00This blog is bunk.

As she's laid to rest, Britons across the country are coordinating a sing-along of 'Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.' And if you ask me, she's getting off easy for the what she did to my country. The news that she died in her sleep has angered a number of my friends.<br /><br />Why would ANY president want to associate himself with that? She is one of the most divisive and hated figures in England, and your comment at the end about how our cousins across the pond should consider Obama's not attending is absolutely correct, but not in the way you think.<br /><br />I get that you guys tie her in with Reagan in your mind. It's a very American-centric way of looking at things. But if you really believe that Thatcher was loved in England, then you seriously know nothing about the British people.<br /><br />PS If Romney goes, he'll just end up insulting them again. Were there only enough coal and eggs left over...<br /><br /><br /> Paulnoreply@blogger.com
