MAYOR DREW TO ATTEND MARGARET THATCHER'S FUNERAL
Since President Obama does not care to attend former British head of state Margaret Thatcher's funeral, he has elected Middletown,Connecticut Mayor Daniel T. Drew attend in his place.
Mayor Drew visited Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro in Washington, attended the Obama Inaguration, and went to China all on behalf of Middletown's citizens.
President Obama commented on why he chose Mayor Drew: " With his frequent flyer miles, and the fact that citizen's of Middletown won't miss him since he is gone most of the time anyway, Mayor Drew is the perfect delegate."
Mayor Drew could not be reached for comment at the time of this press release, as he had already left for the day.
