"Where's that guy from the colonies?"

The Bearer Party made up of personnel from the three branches of the military stand alongside the coffin of British former prime minister Margaret Thatcher on a gun carriage to be drawn by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery during her ceremonial funeral, at the Church of St Clement Danes on April 17, 2013 in London. More than 2,000 dignitaries from around the world paid their last respects at the biggest such occasion in the U.K. since the Queen Mother's funeral in 2002.

WHY did Obama choose to SNUB England, the Queen, and the memory of Margaret Thatcher? I think he has put himself on a pedestal, so high, with thick layers of cirrus clouds beneath him, that he is unable to look down. I doubt that the passing of any head of state would draw him out of the country. Perhaps only the death of a wealthy "donor," or the invitation for a "round of golf" could lure him again to take advantage of all of the transportation resources available to him, at taxpayers expense. Perhaps we should be thankful that he did not take the "multi million dollar" trip to England. Maybe he felt that the country just could not afford it.

"Michelle, I really want to go to .... what's her names funeral in England, but I feel it would just add to the already heavy tax burden that is being carried by these dear friends of ours, the American taxpayers, and, I want to be around for this upcoming vote in the Senate, I'm just gonna die if that don't pass. I got Gabby and some of those parents who lost kids .... well, I just gotta be here .... "

President Barack Obama’s decision not to attend the funeral of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Wednesday was blasted by a former Reagan administration official and Fox News analyst who called it shameful, “cheap, small and petty.”
