Margaret Thatcher; more of a lady than Michelle Obama; more of a man than Barack Obama.

Hell, Barack Obama is more of a lady than Michelle.

obama will go down in history for his great accomplishment - becoming president due singularly to his skin color.

And the army of landsharks sitting on his records, and concealing the fact that his citizenship is so irregular -- if it is even American citizenship at all -- as to defy the meaning of "natural born citizen".

Did I mention fraud?

Small? But very large to his little constituents.

IMHO

Had a French or German President or Prime Minister passed away, at least Biden would have attended. From the first few months of this Administration, Obama's anti-British attitude has been evident.

The man who didn't know what language they spoke in Austria? It goes beyond England. Obama's not that much interested in Europe either. It's surprising after the big rally he had in Berlin five years back, but he doesn't need those people any more.

President G.W. Bush, probably, didn’t want to cause intrusive security problems.

The lady was white. She was not black. She was trivial

I also saw a sword on a velvet pillow during the service.

The City of London's 'Mourning Sword', last used during the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill. It is used when the City of London wishes to do a deceased person's memory High Honour, and was carried into and out of the Cathedral by the Lord Mayor in all his ceremonial finery. He also almost managed to hit the Queen with it (she actually had to dodge - would have been very embarassing at the very least).

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday's funeral of Britain's Margaret Thatcher. It's a measure of how little he values the special relationship — and a sign of his own smallness. Back in more gracious times, vice presidents routinely attended funerals of foreign dignitaries. As such, the presence of Vice President Joe Biden

I can't say I'm surprised.
