Leaders and Heads of State pose with Britain's Queen Elizabeth for a group photograph at Buckingham Palace in London April 1, 2009. World leaders will have their work cut out at a G20 summit where U.S. President Barack Obama makes his first major international sortie, under perhaps more pressure than anyone to show that the country where the crisis began can lead the way out.

while his wife attracted breathless attention

er the same racist bitter anti American woman , is that who we are talking about, the same woman who wears curtains for clothes, has no class and why the hell is she over there anyway on our tax money

shouldn’t she be doing her first lady chores with a charity, why has the media not questioned her on why she’s doing nothing but sitting around with her mother in the white house going though the I-pod

Affirmative action buffoon joins the stuck on stupid to represent a once great country. Sadly, this traitor to our nation will be exalted by the left, the terrorists, and illiterates but some of the smart leaders will reject his idiotic notions of failed politics.
