What a lame comment—Obama on Thatcher

"She stands as an example to our daughters that there is no glass ceiling that can’t be shattered." —Obama on Margaret Thatcher's passing.

So that’s what she did?  Set an example for women?   So did Sarah Palin—who had no husband’s shirt tails to power like Hillary.   So did Jan Brewer—who stood up to the President.  So did Sgt. Kimberly Munley who brought down the Ft. Hood terrorist in “work place violence.” A lot of thanks they’ll get.

“I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society — from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain.”
Speech, Feb. 8, 1984

Compare Obama’s comment to John Boehner’s. “Margaret Thatcher, a grocer’s daughter, stared down elites, union bosses, and communists to win three consecutive elections, establish conservative principles in Western Europe, and bring down the Iron Curtain. There was no secret to her values – hard work and personal responsibility – and no nonsense at all in her leadership.”

If enough people note Obama’s lame tweet, he’ll probably have to put out something more comprehensive and truthful.

Murray sez:
"Lame" fits Obama perfect. That is as it applies his performance towards strenthening our great country. It does not apply to his ability to the financial destruction he and his puppeteers are causing. They are exceptional at that! Wake up America.
