Nothing wrong with male construction workers at all. I just don’t think they make graceful, lovely First Ladies and don’t generally look that good in ball gowns.

You haven't seen my legs! ;-P

Wel, she met with Idi Amin!

Here’s what the Brit Embassy in Kampala wrote for her:

“Popular and a natural leader of men, but simple and practically illiterate; a man of the people... An imposing presence, 6’3” in height; once a good heavyweight boxer and rugby player. As Head of State, has shown an engaging lack of formality and a disregard for his personal safety. Benevolent but tough. Well-disposed to Britain perhaps to an extent damaging to him in the African context. Speaks passable English. God fearing and deeply religious. A Muslim with four wives and seven children...”

Don’t give her used DVD’s.

When SHAM WOWs, or the George Foreman Grill will do.

I wonder what the British Embassy in the US wrote about Obama for her.

Chicago style politician of the worst kind. No manners to speak of. Thinks he is a god and expects to be treated as such.

Wife could be from the least desirable part of London and has the manners and class you would expect from those parts.

Rule 1: Do not belch before the queen.

She always gets to go first.

I still keep picturing Michelle my Belle doing a curtsey in that red black widow spider dress. Can’t wait to see what horri outfit she deems appropriate for the Queen. ((((shuder))))

Why are we still dealing with the nonsense of ‘royality’?

Agreed.

Obama and his...wife, can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned, but I have no use for that "royalty" crap.

The Queen is a figurehead, outmoded, old-fashioned and just plain useless, as is all so-called "royalty".

Even obama, as stupid and useless as he is, should not bow down to the old frump. As much as it pains me to say it, he does represent the United States of America.

In case anyone forgot, our ancestors (at least mine), fought a war a couple of hundred years ago, to escape from that crap, among other things.

Of course, that document we called the Declaration of Independence, along with the Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution, has been used as a door mat by that despicable foreign-born usurper, anyway, so him pissing on it by sucking up to the "Queen", won't make much difference now, I guess.

They put a lot more thought into the Queen's gift as opposed to that Gordon Brown fiasco.

Well, they already had their first faux pas...Michelle refused a ride on the Queen's train because it would not be safe. The Friends asked--and it's not safe for Her Majesty???

No Way!

No fist bumps
No chest pumps
No telling the queen she’s got nice knockers

Secretly, i wish he would do something so repulsive that Her Majesty would publicly call him out!

The Friends are not swooning over Barry this morning...Steve remarked that Barry didn’t even turn off his Blackberry during the press conference as you could hear that interference noise every time he received a text. Instead, they are focusing on the protesters. However, Major Garrett is calling it street theater...just the usual anarchists who travel around the world. They couldn’t possibly be angry at Boy Wonder.

Is Major Garrett still at Fox?

Can’t believe he didn’t turn off his blackberry. Wait, sure i can.

I believe this trumps my Priest who told me that one time he forgot to turn off his cell phone during mass and he got a call. It was in his pocket and rang and could be heard over the loud speaker. His was an honest mistake. I doubt BO’s was.

As a diplomatic gesture out of respect to honor the culture of our closest allie along with honoring the precious lives they have spent in the mutual cause of freedom we have defended together around the world.

since when does an american kow tow to a monarch ANY monarch?

If Obama acts like a subject he is a idiot.

Ronald Regan did not kneel when knighted and that was only honorary since americans do not do “nobility titles”.

At the least, the Queen SERVED her country with honor. Bambi, just the opposite.

remember during the campaign it waa leaked that the British embassy in US sent home a a rather unflattering post about obama (never described)

my theory- this contributed to the cold shoulder zerO gave Gordon Brown. Also remember that the Brits would have had records of births in Kenyan hospitals
