LONDON – President Barack Obama has arrived at Buckingham Palace for a private meeting with Queen Elizabeth II. Several thousand well-wishers crowded the traffic circle in front of the gated palace on Wednesday to cheer and wave as the limousine carrying Obama and first lady Michelle Obama rolled past.
On the eve of a global economic summit, Obama promised world leaders he would listen, not lecture, as they seek a common fix to the financial crisis. "We can only meet this challenge together," he said Wednesday as the U.S. and Russia spoke on the summit sidelines about nuclear warhead reduction.
The flurry of diplomacy came as Obama stepped on the world stage for the first time as president, aiming to shore up both America's economy and its reputation across the globe. He met with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Chinese President Hu Jintao — and promptly accepted invitations to visit Russia in July and China sometime in the second half of the year.
Thousands of protesters converged on central London to rally against the economic summit.
In the most dominant development, Obama and Medvedev announced talks to limit the number of nuclear warheads, the first major negotiations in years over what Obama called the "gravest threat to humanity."

and gave Her Majesty an IPod! Could’ve been worse like a Wal-Mart gift card or unusable DVD’s
At a guess ... like trash in comparison to everyone else.
Not according to AP, she is the most beautiful women with a high fashion taste. To us she is a beast that shops in fashion bug!
Did he chase the little mouse from under her chair?
Previously had watched several other leaders AND THEIR WIVES walk in....the wives were dresed very dignified, with jackets...
..and here comes 'I'll do it my way Michelle' with her sleeveless, a bit low cut top....
..tacky, tacky, tacky
I.... don’t.......... give.......... a...........sh*t.......and I really don’t give a sh*t what his tranny, manbeast beard of a wife wears.
Strangely, I like the outfit Michelle’s wearing to meet the Queen. I still don’t think she bears the slightest resemblance to Jackie, but it’s an improvement, imo. She seems to have managed to hide her usual scowl for the time being.
I wonder what the Queen thinks of them sending back the Churchill bust and their apparent distaste for Great Britain. I’m sure she’s too polite to say, but I am curious.
I figured that, his lips and mouth area aren’t nearly blue enough.
Flying Eagle is in London and just saw the live TV view of the Resident and Ms Obamer walking in to 10 Downing St for dinner - Michelle O is sleveless on April Fools day - a huge no-no before Easter by the way (as if she knows). The two bare arms of the first lady are referred to as “Thunder” and “Lightning” by the British press.
Proof positive that indeed, some questions are best left unanswered ;-)
One comment really nails it! “These people remind me of the old TV show, “The Beverly Hillbillies”! Amen to that!
I am praying that it is.
Otherwise the brilliant gaffes just keep on coming, but at the expense of this country.
Just when I thought the adulatory, sycophantic, idolatry could not get any more f##king ridiculous.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall when she brings Prince Philip up to date on her impression of The One.
"Well, Philip my dear, there is nothing quite like meeting a President. And he is most assuredly nothing like a President."
"You can put this iPod with the ties the children gave you for Christmas when they were young."
Do they really have to comb that short nap????
