CHOOSING DICTATOR CHAVEV OVER DEMOCRAT THATCHER IS NO-BRAINER FOR OBAMA!

CHOOSING DICTATOR CHAVEV OVER DEMOCRAT THATCHER IS NO-BRAINER FOR OBAMA! 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. ...... On Tuesday, the White House announced that gun control was a more pressing issue, so there'll be no high-level representation from the Obama administration at the funeral that will be attended by Queen Elizabeth. Instead, an ex-ambassador, an embassy charge d'affaires and two respected former Secretaries of State from decades past will represent us. That's a lower-level delegation than the one he sent to Caracas for the funeral of Venezuela's anti-American dictator Hugo Chavez last month, which saw a sitting congressman there to represent the U.S. This snub shows Obama places partisan politics above leadership or statecraft. His strange antipathy toward the British is well known — he insultingly returned the bust of Winston Churchill to the U.K. after it was loaned to the White House in friendship after 9/11, among many slights. He also despises everything Thatcher stood for — free men and free markets — in favor of a socialistic state, based on both his policies and his past.
