President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle arrived in Britain last night to bring some glamour to the G20 summit of world leaders. The Presidential plane, Air Force One, touched down at Stansted just before 8pm for Mr Obama's first official visit to Europe. A crowd of well-wishers, many waving U.S. flags, had gathered in the cold to welcome the couple
Hand in hand, they waved from the steps of the Boeing 747, the First Lady wearing a bright yellow dress and the President in a dark suit and spotted tie.
They were greeted by Chancellor Alistair Darling - and tight security - before travelling on to London
Selected members of the President's 500-strong entourage were airlifted to London in American military Chinook helicopters. Later today Mr Obama will go to Buckingham Palace for a real British welcome - a cup of tea. He will be offered it at a meeting with the Queen and Prince Philip in their private apartments
The 'getting to know you' session - which will probably last about 25 minutes - is something of a break with protocol because visiting heads of state normally meet the monarch only if they are on an official state visit, whereas Mr Obama will be in town as one of a number of leaders. After the meeting, the couple will be taken to a reception to welcome the heads of state of the G20 and other nations attending. Most senior members of the Royal Family...

Put on a coat and tie!!! You are the president of the united States for goodness sake!!!
Well, maybe Her Majesty will be able to talk some sense into him... She worked Mr. King over pretty well last week.
They let him eat without a bib again.
I apologize for the confusion.
That can’t be a current pic, can it????
Dang, what a slouch this guy is. No tie or jacket and sleeves rolled up. Absolutely no class ...tacky, tacky, tacky. What an embarrassment.
Fear not. It’s still very early morning over there. Tea with the Queen is still hours away.
Did he try to high-five the Queen?
I can almost hear him saying,
“Say, Lizzie mama, what’s shakin’? This one happenin’ crib y’all got here!”
/s;)
Thank goodness! False alarm!!!
“Say, Lizzie mama, what’s shakin’? This one happenin’ crib y’all got here!”
LOL! It wouldn’t surprise me.
Was that moron actually smelling the tea before drinking it? Or was he trying to drink it with the saucer and all?
I didn’t bother reading the article once I read the first line....
“President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle arrived in Britain last night to bring some glamour to the G20 summit of world leaders.”
So WE taxpayers sent Zero and Mrs. Zero along with a gazillion entourage, multiple jet aircraft, Helicoptors, 500 Politicos, Chow and the Chef to cook it, and God knows what else over there to bring some glamour to merry ol’ England?
I thought there was some sort of a meeting taking place. Like maybe the G-20 or something.
That was enough to send me on down the Forum page looking for something of interest to read.
From post#16: This kind of cracked me up:
“In the United States the meeting of President Obama, the world’s most famous celebrity, with the world’s most photographed woman, will be the enduring image of the summit. President Obama is acutely aware that being photographed side by side with the Queen, who is hugely respected in the US, will help to burnish his credentials as a major international statesman.”
Hey! B0Z0 won't even respect our flag........
Why would he wear a coat and tie?
How Dare You Question The Messiah!
