Margaret Thatcher is credited to have been the greatest Prime Minister of the 20th C second only to Winston Spencer Churchill. World leaders from around the world came in for her funeral including Bush, Carter and Clinton, Obama sent a former ambassador to Thatcher’s funeral. On the day of Thatcher's funeral spent the day golfing in Florida.

Obama is taking a staff of 102 people including most of his senior staff going all out for Mandela's funeral, a man who called the United States evil and associated with the world's worse terrorists. Thatcher was America's greatest ally and assisted us with every war we were in, she took by our side every time but Obama shunned her funeral because she was a white conservative where Mandela was a black socialist.

Shame on Obama

[johnforbes]

Obama wants anything to divert attention from the disaster of Obamacare.

Thus, Obama is eager to prance and pose, to preen and posture, in Africa.

[ANNIENDON]

Seems pretty black and white to us.

[RealJustme]

Well Obama showed Africans how getto blacks behave in America with his selfie shots and joking during the actual memorial service. What an embarrassment to the United States and our highest office.

Twitter fury over Dave's selfie with Obama and a flirty Dane: Backlash over leaders' picture at Mandela memorial service that left Michelle VERY unamused

LONDON — More than 2,000 invitations were sent out for the Wednesday funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Among the former U.S. presidents, surviving U.K. prime ministers, world leaders and celebrities who made the cut are some high profile would-be guests who sent regrets: Former First Lady Nancy Reagan – whose husband had a close relationship with the late premier – will not be able to attend; nor will former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who shared key moments in history with the Iron Lady.

Thatcher is no Mandela...

[RealJustme]

Thatcher is no Mandela...

Your damn right, Thatcher sent 100's of thousands of her fellow citizens to fight shoulder to shoulder with our troops on numerous occasions, Mandela did nothing but bad mouth the United States and hang with terrorist leaders.

Mandela spent 27 years in prison, and forgave his jailers when he got out. He could have went General Zod on the whites, and wiped them out but chose peace...

Amazing

[johnforbes]

Ole Nelson was pretty much a Marxist, but it is also true that apartheid was very well recognized as an untenable approach long ago.

Honor him? Sure, but he was no more a plaster saint than King, who was banging every intern available.

[RealJustme]

Mandela spent 27 years in prison, and forgave his jailers

Why would his crime be the jailers' who fed him fault? Only a liberal would use 27 years in prison as proof someone is a good person. :shock:

[BilboBagend]

When one looks honestly at the list of who went to Thatcher's funeral and who didn't from the U.S. one sees the real story, which includes the total dishonesty of teagaggers, as always.

[johnforbes]

Bilbo, if you had PhD and MBA degrees, you wouldn't be mesmerized by childish, synthetic labels such as "teagagger."

You'd be able to engage in intelligent, adult discourse instead of trying to devalue Tea Party members who believe in basic American values such as freedom, responsibility, lower taxes, more economic growth, and the like.

[Grog]

To be fair, balanced and unafraid, not to mention accurate, they need to rename it the Koch Party.

[sillydaddy]

Obama is an embarrassment to America. It seems he can't get it through his thick skull that he represents the US every where he goes all the time, not just when he's shouting from behind the podium. After witnessing his juvenile antics at Mandela's funeral, it's a good thing he didn't attend Margaret Thatcher's funeral......the British press would have crucified him if had acted like that in England.

[RealJustme]

the British press would have crucified him if had acted like that in England.

Actually someone would have quietly pointed out to Obama that he was acting a fool and to please refrain from doing it during a memorial service.

[Grog]

Silly, who was the other man in the selfie that's given Fox Nation the vapors?

[BilboBagend]

McCain agrees with the moron faction. Forgetting his own hand shake with Momar Kadaffi. Consistent for these dishonest teagagger hypocrites.

[johnforbes]

Bilbo, like Grog, is unfair.

To be fair, however, Bilbo is unbalanced.

Which also describes the situation of bathroom scales when last they confronted the vast, bloated bulk of Bilbo's corpus.

[sillydaddy]

"Silly, who was the other man in the selfie that's given Fox Nation the vapors? "

What are you saying, Grog. That Obama should be excused because after all, "Cameron did it too !".

[RealJustme]

What are you saying, Grog. That Obama should be excused because after all, "Cameron did it too !".

They always try to find an example of someone else having done it as an excuse for Obama's actions. If Obama was to kill someone they would point that John Gasey who is white killed even more people than Obama did.

[BilboBagend]

Gee, justupid et al don't want their hypocrisy pointed out. What a surprise. They have no idea what hmakes false equivalence and what makes real equivalence. No surprise for such dishonest bigots.

[johnforbes]

Blabo, er Bilbo, is a racist.

[BilboBagend]

If that is the false justification you need to maintain your self view, then we all understand little wannabe faux.

[johnforbes]

Bilbo, like Grog, is unfair.

To be fair, Bilbo is unbalanced.

Which also describes the situation of bathroom scales when last they confronted the vast, bloated bulk of Bilbo's adipose corpus.
