Appalled By The Prez

I am completely appalled and embarrassed by our current President and administration. President Obama is snubbing one of our greatest allies in the world, Great Britain. He or none of his cabinet will be in attendance at the funeral of Margaret Thatcher. Instead he is sending two aging retired Secretaries of State; James Baker and George Shultz. Granted these men were active with Anglo American relations while Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, but that is a far cry from our current administration sending a high ranking cabinet member. I am equally upset that no former presidents will be attending.

Margaret Thatcher was one of our biggest supporters during the cold war. The “Iron Lady” shared a great relationship with Ronald Reagan. Her government allowed the U.S. to place cruise missiles in Europe and supported our military bases in the U.K. During her time as Prime Minister, relationships between our two great nations were at their best.
