And, as far as I can tell from this article, the administration has not seen fit to send anyone to represent the USA.

Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will be in London for the unveiling of the memorial, along with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. Baroness Thatcher, Reagan's closest foreign ally and one half of the 'Special Relationship' which came to epitomize the 1980s and contribute to the demise of the Cold War will probably be too frail to attend the ceremony celebrating the man she referred to as "the second most important man in my life."
I hope that O'Bummer does send someone. But if he doesn't, I wonder if these children who run the country realize how petty and immature they appear to everyone else?

I will always be grateful that I was an adult during his administration and saw him in person once.

And now it's a headline:

Last night's Guildhall dinner in honour of Ronald Reagan's centenary was a truly glittering and warm occasion.
The British roasted lamb and the sunny Californian chardonnay evoked the close Anglo-US relationship of Reagan and Thatcher as much as the fine speeches by Condi Rice and William Hague.
But guests were left asking, where on earth was the American ambassador to London, Louis B Susman?
"Our ambassador should be here," said Lynn de Rothschild, the American entrepreneur who is married to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and was one of Hillary Clinton's key fundraisers in 2008 as well as a supporter of several Republican presidential candidates. "This was an historic dinner to mark Reagan's centenary and to celebrate him as the man who ended the Cold War. What could not be more important?
Shameful but hardly unexpected from this admin.

It is a shame that there is such an abundance of evidence of Obama administration malevolence toward our traditional allies and conservative Americans that the mind automatically assumes that our ambassador to Great Britain skipped the event in order to slight and offend Britain and American conservatives. Unless I am provided an excuse that I believe, nothing would convince me otherwise.
-
I wonder whether the ambassador snubbed the ceremony on his own or if he was ordered to. I suspect the latter.

Shemeless twats!!
