One gets the sense that our cousins are greeting his skin.

When Michelle lumbered up to the Queen, shoulders hunched, underbite jutting...the Queen looked her J Crew, sparkle & gingham outfit up and down and said, “Perhaps we can find something of Diana’s we can let out for you.”

"Obama arrives at Buckingham Palace to meet queen"

Did he ask "Which one of you is Freddie Mercury"?

Barry and Michelle have been careful not to repeat their previous gift faux pas with the Queen and have selected a complete set of Freddie Mercury 8-tracks.

Sounds like he’s receiving a warmer reception there than he gave to the British PM here.

Give him a break, he’s only been there a few minutes and he doesn’t have his prompter. It’ll take him a good half an hour to come up with a truly damaging gaffe.

When Zer0 meets the Queen (always capitalized and never "the queen") the English would say: "When chalk meets cheese"

Would not it be great is we had a "Mind Reader" under the Queen's hat to read her mind and put it on our Teleprompter. I can only guess the thoughts. Probably something like: "When will this mishap end?"

On the otherside of that coin, Zer0 is, in fact a British Subject, having been born in Kenya, then a Colony, of a Kenyan father and a minor US citizen. Ergo, he is Kenyan and, thus, a Subject of the United Kingdom under the stupid rules of the British Commonwealth.

That's why England is filled with "fellow" rag heads, just like Zer0.

Maybe he and the teeth machine will stay there. Would not that be great! 500 to the UK, plus the press corps. Coming back to the USofA: 498 plus the press corps, other than those that elect to stay. Nothing lost with that decision.
