The White House sent three officials to attend Monday's funeral for Michael Brown in St. Louis -- three more than it sent for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's funeral last year.

The administration's handling of the Brown funeral already has started to raise comparisons between the two.

For Monday's funeral, the White House sent two officials with the White House Office of Public Engagement as well as Broderick Johnson, chairman of the My Brother's Keeper Task Force.

No White House officials, though, were part of the presidential delegation sent last year to Thatcher's funeral. For that, the White House sent former secretaries of State George Schultz and James Baker III -- as well as the charge d'affaires to the U.K. and the former U.S. ambassador.

At the time, the nature of the delegation stirred controversy in the British media as tabloids claimed British officials felt snubbed that high-level American officials -- including President Obama himself -- were not attending.

The White House countered that Baker and Schultz' attendance were "testimony" to Thatcher's "global stature and reputation." British Prime Minister David Cameron's office also denied claims at the time that the administration had snubbed the late prime minister.

But in the case of Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old fatally shot by a police officer earlier this month, the Obama administration has devoted considerable resources. Attorney General Eric Holder visited Ferguson, Mo., last week and has dozens of investigators on the ground conducting a federal civil rights probe.

The administration also said that one of the White House officials attending the funeral on Monday had a personal connection.

Michael Brown was a criminal who tried to kill a police officer.

Obama and his lawless thug staff will burn in hell.

Report: Obama Delayed James Foley Rescue a Month, Fretting over His Image and Golfing

According to a new Sunday Times report by Toby Harden, "Pentagon sources said Foley and the others might well have been rescued but Obama, concerned about the ramifications of US troops being killed or captured in Syria, took too long to authorise the mission."
It's claimed that Obama was concerned about his administration being Carterized had the mission failed.

Tinfoil much.


Had they gone in with a poorly planned raid, you'd be screaming and pouting about that.


If it is on Breitbart, it is a probably not true - the site is well known for lying. Only a fool would believe any trash posted there.

I also love all the sudden sniveling and hand-wringing over someone who was part of a profession conks openly despise. Talk about crocodile tears.

Bungo's just here to spew his half-baked nonsense, not to engage in any kind of discussion or debate. In other words, he's just like the rest of us.

Obama didn't sent any representatives to James Foley's memorial service...you know, that guy who was beheaded covering the war on terror we're supposedly fighting?

Obama didn't attend the funeral for Polish President Lech Kaczynski in 2010. Said he was going, but canceled and went golfing instead.



Hell, Obama didn't even attend the funeral of his own AUNT.

He's about as low class as they come. What surprises me is that his "handlers" aren't collectively smart enough to realize how stupid he looks (and by association, them as well).
