The "Iron Lady"

From Bloomberg News

Margaret Thatcher Scheduled to Leave Hospital After Tests
By Hamish Risk
March 8 (Bloomberg) -- Former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was scheduled to leave a London hospital today after falling ill at a House of Lords dinner yesterday and undergoing medical tests, her spokesman Mark Worthington said.

Thatcher helped end the Cold War and was known as the ``Iron Lady'' for her dominance of British politics during the 1980s. She led the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990, and was prime minister from 1979 to 1990..

We wish Lady Thatcher a speedy recovery. What a GREAT and GRAND lady. I need to make some comments which relate to Lady Thatcher and our political spotlight in the United States

With all our election talk , "can Hillary be president", "we have to vote for Hillary, she's a women", "you just don't want a women president"! "You have to vote for Obama, he would be our first African American President"! "Are you a racist"? How small and simple minded the left and young voters are.

We vote for president every four years to put in place someone to serve and protect the citizens of this great country.

If Hillary was like Margret Thatcher, or like Condi Rice. I would have no problem voting for her. J. C. Watts Jr., when will you run for president?

The bar is set very high on my expectations for president. I see no gender, I see no color, I see no special religion, I only see someone who will advance my ideas. At times, todays elections may be a struggle but as Ronald Reagen said;

The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas-a trial of spiritual resolve:
the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideals to which we are dedicated. Ronald Reagan 40th president of US (1911 - 2004)

Gender, race, religion or political affiliation should have no bearing on who we elect. We elect the best person to lead this GREAT country.

Lady Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, what great leaders.

Get well Mrs. Thatcher.
