Excellent reminder by Ben Shapiro over at Breitbart. I do understand the travel to attend that funeral, but by attending that one and snubbing Thatcher we get another understanding that both Obamas are jerks. And since the cost of this new travel and security expense is going to be extraordinary, it would be appropriate for the Obamas to cancel their yearly tax-payer dollar splurge to Hawaii. But they won’t, of course, because all of this provides just another chance to further damage this nation while they have the time of their lives.
On Friday, the White House announced that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama would travel to South Africa next week to pay their respects to Nelson Mandela. Obama has already announced that the White House will fly the flags at half-staff though December 9 in Mandela’s honor.
When former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died, President Obama did not lower the White House flags, nor did he attend her funeral, instead sending ex-Secretaries of State George Shultz and James Baker III. The Sun reported, “[Downing] Street is most angered by rejections from Obama, First Lady Michelle and Vice-President Joe Biden. And none of the four surviving ex-US leaders – Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and George Bush Jr. – is coming either.”
Funerals are separate but equal.
“If you like the funeral, you can go to the funeral.”
Race trumps everything with Zerobama.
Sure seems like you’re right G.H. 🙁
The Thatcher movie Zerobamed too.
They are merciless, ruthless, and heartless.
We’ll see how the dumb bastard tries to make the funeral all about him.
