After a long day of public appearances, President Obama and US First Lady Michelle were treated to a state banquet at Buckingham Palace, hosted by the Queen tonight. The star-studded banquet saw 171 guests arrive, including Tom Hanks, Kevin Spacey and Tim Burton, who dined on lamb, roast potatoes and vanilla Charlotte. Also at Her Majesty’s banquet in honour of the Obamas were David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Boris Johnson.
Cheers! The Queen toasts the Obama's visit before they sit down to a dinner of lamb, roast potatoes and vanilla Charlotte
Former Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown also attended, as did Ed Miliband, Richard Branson and Helena Bonham Carter.
Hollywood actor Hanks sat next to Ffion Hague, the wife of the Foreign Secretary, while Kevin Spacey was beside Sophie, the Countess of Wessex – wife of Prince Edward.

You are being generous ;)
BTW, temps in mid-60s for high, mid 40s for lows. Seems a little chilly for sleeveless gown.
The dress would have been ok on another person.
It emphasizes those big old greasy arms of hers- and if you notice, she’s got the boob belt. (even if it’s made of self fabric)
This dress emphasizes the fact that her waist is almost up under her boobs.

When the president toasted the Queen the orchestra misunderstood a pause and what seemed to be a cue from the president for “God Save the Queen” to begin playing. “Ladies and gentlemen please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast,” the president said, putting down his note cards and grabbing his glass. “To her majesty the Queen.”The president paused, the guests stood, and the orchestra prepared to play. But the president wasn’t done speaking. “The vitality –“ the president said before the orchestra began.
Then the familiar tune – you might know it better as “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” – started up.
The president kept going: “ -- of the special relationship between our peoples and for the words of Shakespeare to this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,” the president said as the awkward moment played out. The Queen looked ahead as the UK anthem played. “To the Queen,” the president finally said.
He lifted his glass to her, she smiled a bit uncomfortably.
But because the song was playing, no one drank from his or her glass, including the president, who put his glass down on the table.
where’s 0bozo’s fake medals?
Earlier was completely inappropriate. Her protocol secretary must be a closet conservative to keep sticking her in such embarrassing outfits that are completely inappropriate for the situation.

Where’s the wookie’s tiara? Somebody’s in trouble...
And once again, B0 looks like a cardboard cut-out of himself.
Or shouldn't he at least be wearing his Nobel Peace Prize medal?
Dallas Tx is getting nailed. No wonder the posus is partying. He hates Texas.
Haha, good catch. The dress would be lovely on somebody else, but does nothing to flatter her. It emphasizes her broad shoulders and short neck and the bow in front is a little too much.
Give me 6 pts and I’ll take the queen for a c note
She probably figured “why bother, he’s just going to give it to me later on an ipod with more of his speeches!”
He’s not a President thought. He’s a Muslim, Marxist, fly attracting, effeminate, illegitimate, low life.
He’s not a President though. He’s a Muslim, Marxist, fly attracting, effeminate, illegitimate, low life.
Buckwheat in drag.
ROFLMAO!!!! He looked like he was going to cry. He is so out of his league. He was and always will be a low life community organizer and Wookie will always be a big ole gal from the south side of Chi town.
What an embarassment these two are!
