Statement from the President on the Passing of Baroness Margaret Thatcher
With the passing of Baroness Margaret Thatcher, the world has lost one of the great champions of freedom and liberty, and America has lost a true friend. As a grocer’s daughter who rose to become Britain’s first female prime minister, she stands as an example to our daughters that there is no glass ceiling that can’t be shattered. As prime minister, she helped restore the confidence and pride that has always been the hallmark of Britain at its best. And as an unapologetic supporter of our transatlantic alliance, she knew that with strength and resolve we could win the Cold War and extend freedom’s promise.
Here in America, many of us will never forget her standing shoulder to shoulder with President Reagan, reminding the world that we are not simply carried along by the currents of history—we can shape them with moral conviction, unyielding courage and iron will. Michelle and I send our thoughts to the Thatcher family and all the British people as we carry on the work to which she dedicated her life—free peoples standing together, determined to write our own destiny.

With the words written in this statement for all the world to see, you, Barack Obama, have raised yourself above Him who placed you as a rod over His people, who lifted you up for a time for this purpose.
“determined to write our own destiny” – the ax raises itself above Him who swings it. Your destiny was written thousands of years before you where born. With those words in the statement you have proven yourself to be the Assyrian of Isaiah 10:5-19. There you will find your destiny laid out for you.
