Allow me to play devil's advocate (which I often love to do).
If Obama went overseas to the Thatcher funeral, then his critics would have jumped all over him for leaving the country during a time of national crisis (the Boston Marathon bombings and subsequent manhunt for the terrorists).
Anyway, I take it Obama decided not to attend BEFORE the bombings, but nevertheless. in the end, he's damned if he doesn't go (by his critics), and he would have been damned if he did go (by his critics...lol).
