I have two British friends on Facebook. Their posts on the subject:
"Ding dong the witch is dead"
and
"If you are thinking about sending me condolences over the death of Thatcher - don't. I only wish her policies died with her. She gutted the working class of Britian"

Many argue that her privitaztion efforts helped make the economy more flexible and that much stronger.

Just like you're probably all over Facebook gushing how great Obama is and how his policies are helping the working class.
Sometimes people's perceptions just don't align with reality.

Why hasn’t Obama released a statement about himself on Margaret Thatcher’s death yet?

There isn't anything wrong with voting Republican or Democrat. THe problem is the candidate.
Meanwhile, Obamas budget has a few Republica nuggets in it i.e. Chained CPI.

What about you, Baldy? Perpetually jerking off to anything conk, you and your declinist, racist, contrarian fellow conk fucks have done, and continue to do, more harm to this nation than Obama ever will.
You're mad as fuck that your man Cheney fucked up the world and a black man is actually doing a pretty good job cleaning up the mess.
Black people aint the problem, you are.

To be fair he was probably sleeping in...he played a lot of golf this weekend
It took Obama only 30 minutes to issue a statement on Ebert, more than three hours to respond (just after 10 a.m.) to Thatcher’s death.

Who cares about how long it takes for him to respond to a death? It isn't important. When his legacy is reviewed, people won't say, "Yeah, he saved America but he's an asshole for taking 3 hours to respond to Thatchers death."

Hit him on something of substance.

Margaret Thatcher was a great and courageous leader who understood the evils of communism and the benefits of a free economy. She was probably the last true Tory. R.I.P.

Yes because hastening our impending insolvency is such an obvious alternative.

When she became Prime Minister, 90% of all of Great Britain's heavy industries were government owned.

Probably the smartest thing she did was put all that in the hands of private companies/people. I think the initial impact was high unemployment but overall it was a smart move.

Again, when I say it, it's satire and social commentary. When you and conks say it, it's disgraceful and threatening.

You're the one who continues to bring it up and compare to wet vaginas.

Here's a fairly honest eulogy from Ian McEwan:
"Maggie! Maggie! Maggie! Out! Out! Out!" That chanted demand of the left has been fully and finally met. At countless demonstrations throughout the 80s, it expressed a curious ambivalence – a first name intimacy as well as a furious rejection of all she stood for. "Maggie Thatcher" – two fierce trochees set against the gentler iambic pulse of Britain's postwar welfare state. For those of us who were dismayed by her brisk distaste for that cosy state-dominated world, it was never enough to dislike her. We liked disliking her. She forced us to decide what was truly important.
In retrospect, in much dissenting commentary there was often a taint of unexamined sexism. Feminists disowned her by insisting that though she was a woman, she was not a sister. But what bound all opposition to Margaret Thatcher's programme was a suspicion that the grocer's daughter was intent on monetising human value, that she had no heart and, famously, cared little for the impulses that bind individuals into a society.
But if today's Guardian readers time-travelled to the late 70s they might be irritated to discover that tomorrow's TV listings were a state secret not shared with daily newspapers. A special licence was granted exclusively to the Radio Times. (No wonder it sold 7m copies a week). It was illegal to put an extension lead on your phone. You would need to wait six weeks for an engineer. There was only one state-approved answering machine available. Your local electricity "board" could be a very unfriendly place. Thatcher swept away those state monopolies in the new coinage of "privatisation" and transformed daily life in a way we now take for granted.
We have paid for that transformation with a world that is harder-edged, more competitive, and certainly more intently aware of the lure of cash. We might now be taking stock, post credit crunch, of our losses and gains since the 1986 deregulation of the City, but it is doubtful that we will ever undo her legacy.
