In a special follow up...
With the Obamas visiting across the pond, you'd expect talk of the global economy, international relations, and even nuclear disarmament,
But the best thing, and the reason why I LOVE Michelle Obama, is that during a visit to Betty and Phil Windsor's house, she sidled over to Her Majesty the Queen of England and landed a warm and affectionate hug on the old gal.
Evidently this is not something that you do...I mean she is a queen in the most literal sense. We American's though have our own brand of protocol that shifts with each new executive. My guess is we won't see too many pig roasts and pie eatin' contests during this administration. Nor is their much brush to cut in Chicago.
Regardless of that, Europe seems to love Mr. Obama and positively ADORES the Mrs.
From what I can tell, Betty does too. She did after all hug her back. (around 1:15)
(Yeah...me and Michelle, huggers.)

Your blog is shaping up nicely! Love your recent posts. The Obamas are looking so tall in their trip to London - kind of amazon American's, no?
Marie Louise beat me to it, but I'll throw in my two pence here just the same. I know the British empire has shrunk. But what's with Liz and Phil? Barack and Michelle aren't short people. But they aren't that tall. This has to be another case of Madame Toussoud's people carting in the wax ones when the Queen and her hubby aren't feeling well enough to do the photo op.
