Queen Michelle Arrives In Triumph As Africa Welcomes Obama Home
Jonathan Clayto.
Barack Obama and his family flew into Ghana last night to a rapturous welcome as the African nation rejoiced in the arrival of America’s first black President.
“Akwaaba [welcome home] Barack and Michelle Obama,” proclaimed banners strung across the street of the spruced-up capital of Accra. Traditional dancers and drummers performed songs for Mr Obama’s first visit to any country in sub-Saharan Africa as the US President.
Thousands of jubilant Ghanaians waving US and Ghanaian flags braved torrential rain to line the road from the airport into the centre of town in the hope of catching a glimpse of the First Family.
To most Ghanaians and other Africans the President’s tour is seen as a homecoming rather than an official trip by a head of state to a foreign country.
That unique position was set to be acknowledged today in a manner that few other Western visitors have experienced. Mrs Obama will be honoured by tribal chiefs as a “Queen” in a ceremony.

The nation rejoiced? If this is from the London press, heaven help us when our msm reports this. Palm fronds and rose petals?
this isn’t their “home”... obamantions home is Kenya.... and “queen”.... let’s get real....
Seriously, those two have spent so much since arriving at the WH, they make the Clintons look like pikers. Meanwhile, we peons, while standing in awe are supposed to suck it up and watch our traditional lifestyle disappear.
vaudine
It’s only because she has really nice arms. That goes a long way in Ghana, or wherever the f*** they are...
Jim Robinson, Mrs Obama’s great-great-grandfather...You hold your age quite well.
Mr Obama may also receive a title but is unlikely to be named a chief. “We are in discussions still on that but there is a feeling that he is doing fine as it is,”...
Hmmm...surely we have laws prohibiting our president and first lady (hurts to type that) from holding titles in foreign lands???
"Jim Robinson, Mrs Obama’s great-great-grandfather..."You hold your age quite well.
(Sorry Steelefish, I forgot to ping Michelle's G G Grandfather in the last post above.)
And her butt arrived on a separate flight.
Oh great. So will MO think this title gives her license to start wearing capes on a daily basis? Will she strap one of her famous plastic boob belts around them? Will the MSM and fashion mags declare that the Queen of Cape Coast has now brought capes to the fashion forefront, where they are now the must-have items of the season??? I can hardly wait.
Then he should return to the place of his birth, Kenya, and accept all the titles he wants.
Don’t come back here. America does not like titles.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!
Say it ain’t SO, JR!?!?
They can keep him.
No...
heaven help us when our msm reports this. Palm fronds and a donkey...

How proud she must be...
I would think we would. If I were to lie my way to the presidency, I would not think it proper to be appointed Queen of Bavaria.

The rocks crying out...
