In Obama's defense — Thatcher was governing during his "Choom Gang" years – so he probably has no idea who she is.

Perhaps he is one of the people tweeting, “Who is Margaret Thatcher?”
"Who?" Barack Obama on being told of the death of Margaret Thatcher.

Has Obama released a statement about himself on Thatcher's death yet?
— Heather Marie (@hfearny) April 8, 2013
Bingo.
Obama still trying to fit in a few more "I"s – MT @DocWashburn: Hey @twitchyteam Why hasn't White House responded to Thatcher death?
— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) April 8, 2013
But, so far, his statement has been: Crickets.
Twitter users are keeping watch.

Can we read anything into delay by Obama issuing statement re passing of #Thatcher? Showing his leftism? She vitally strengthened US/UK ties

"@toddstarnes: 9:45 a.m. – still no response from Obama on the passing of Thatcher." Either he's golfing…polling statement verbiage or….

He's looking for a way to blame sequester RT @toddstarnes It's been more than 2 hours since Thatcher passed and still no response from Obama
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) April 8, 2013
Will be interesting to see what (if anything) Obama says about Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher. He hates England almost as much as he hates US.

RT @HarrietBaldwin The @BarackObama Twitter feed still yammering about #GunControl. No word on the death of Lady Thatcher.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 8, 2013
Still no statement from Obama on Thatcher. He still fundraising?
— Kyle Raccio (@kyleraccio) April 8, 2013
Tick tock, Mr. President.
Shameful.
Update: Hours after the news of her passing, a statement has finally been released.

Obama on Thatcher: "She stands as an example to our daughters that there is no glass ceiling that can’t be shattered."
— Hifzha Shaheen (@hifzhashaheen) April 8, 2013
Obama/Thatcher-"will never forget her standing shoulder to shoulder with Pres Reagan, …unyielding courage and iron will"
