Obama to Send More Senior Reps to Castro Funeral than to Thatcher’s
Breitbart ^ | 30 Nov 2016 | Nick Hallett

U.S. President Barack Obama is to send a more senior representative to the funeral of Communist dictator Fidel Castro than he did to the funeral of Margaret Thatcher.

Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes will attend the funeral of the anti-American firebrand along with Jeff DeLaurentis, the country’s top diplomat in Cuba, as an “unofficial delegation”.

By contrast, President Obama was accused of “snubbing” the funeral of Baroness Thatcher in 2013, sending two aging former Secretaries of State to lead a delegation that included no representatives from the incumbent administration.

Obama is probably upset he is not attending.

Castro was one of Obama's idols.

Thatcher was Obama’s worst kind of enemy.

A patriotic conservative British woman and leader who defeated international communism.

If I were President I would send one low level official. If asked why I sent anyone I would reply, “I just wanted to make sure he was dead.”
