Barack Obama Enjoys ‘Tête-à-Tête Across the Barbed Wire’ With Family During Stonehenge Visit
Metro UK ^ | Sunday 7 Sep 2014 | Matt Payton

Stonehenge is one of the most recognisable sites in the world, while Barack Obama is one of the world’s most recognisable people.

And for one Wiltshire family, to see the leader of a world superpower at this World Heritage site was an opportunity not to be missed.

Janice Raffle, talking to the BBC, said ‘we had a brief tête-à-tête across the barbed wire’.

The mother of three boys explained ‘there was a bit of banter about boys being the best’ on account of the American president joking that she was ‘outnumbered.’

This surprising encounter was captured by the president’s photographer on Mrs Raffle’s phone.

The president had decided to visit the mysterious stone formation after leaving the Nato Summit in Newport, Wales.

He probably thought Stonehenge was a golf course and those people would be his caddies....

Instead of looking at vertical stones in Wiltshire, England, he should visit some smaller vertical stones say at, Arlington cemetery???

He was scouting it for his bros in ISIS; they’ll blow it up if they get the chance.

Being that it’s England, did they thank him for helping to spread radical Islam?

Why is it such a difficult decision for Congress to impeach this jackass? This is job abandonment he is pulling, the guy does not show up for work , so fire his butt!

I was just saying last week that every month he takes a vacation now it looks like it’s every 2 weeks! Why they can’t impeach this fool? This is job abandonment! They don’t even have to impeach him, just have a conservative “borrow” the office, I mean Obama certainly is not using it!

His whole life has probably just been one long vacation.

Has this man ever had to work for anything in his life?

No it was all handed to him.

All he had to do was fly all over the place and baffle everyone with bullshit.

And, of course, that’s all that matters. The fact that she apparently thinks Obamugabe is great should deduct many, many “hottie” points.
