A sad commentary

I read a story on Fox News yesterday that said more representatives from the White House attended the funeral of Michael Brown (The black teen shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri) than the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. I think it's so sad that more government officials would attend the funeral of a common citizen than a former world leader. The Iron Lady deserved more from the United States of America.

Don't get me wrong. My heart goes out to any parent that loses a child (no matter what the circumstances). This has nothing to do with the controversial death of Michael Brown. This has everything to do with the priorities of the current administration in the White House.
