She wore a uniform during World War II and has been briefed-in for over 60 years, much longer than Mr. Obama has been alive. She’s forgotten more about government than he’ll ever know.

You know who has the power hand in this situation. The Queen has zero respect for bammy. None. She won’t even drive in to see his sorry butt.

ps: also, O is always going to be hostile to the Queen in particular (as well as, of course UK in general). This is because the Queen is Defender of the (Christian) faith in UK:
-——————————————the following is from the Royal website:


” The Sovereign holds the title ‘Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England’.

There are many examples of the relationship between the established Church and the State.

Archbishops and bishops are appointed by The Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister, who considers the names selected by a Church Commission. They take an oath of allegiance to The Queen on appointment and may not resign without Royal authority.

The connection between Church and State is also symbolised by the fact that the ‘Lords Spiritual’ (consisting of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and 24 diocesan bishops) sit in the House of Lords. Parish priests also take an oath of allegiance to The Queen.

The General Synod (including the bishops, elected representatives from the clergy and the laity) is the supreme authority of the Church of England. The Queen opens the Synod after the elections in the dioceses every five years.

Since 1919, the Synod (formerly called the Church Assembly) has had the power to pass Measures on any matter concerning the Church of England.

Following acceptance of the Measures by both Houses of Parliament (which cannot amend them), they are submitted for Royal Assent and become law.

In addition to legislating for the Church by Measure, the General Synod has the power to legislate by Canon in its own domestic affairs such as worship and doctrine, but The Queen’s assent is required for the promulgation of such Canons. Such assent is given on the Home Secretary’s advice.

In his or her coronation oath, the Sovereign promises to maintain the Church.

The Sovereign must be in communion with the Church of England, that is, a full, confirmed member.

The Preface to the 39 Articles of the Church of England describes the monarch as ‘being by God’s Ordinance, according to Our just Title, Defender of the Faith and ... Supreme Governor of the Church of England’

I’m tempted to suggest we could use a Queen (but I’m afraid Obama might think that he’s the one for the position).

For a woman who lived through the Hitler and Stalin eras Obama is just a bit of undigested beef.

Go ahead, do it.

Hillary and Bloomberg would trample all OVER each other vying for the title...

Choosing, instead, to have a very quiet lunch with a bust of Winston Churchill.

If it were me, I would much rather go to Windsor castle than Buckingham Palace. That place fascinates me. I wish she would just ignore him completely. He’s doing his best to stay out of the country these last few months. Thank goodness!
