The US President and his wife appeared very relaxed in the company of the Queen
Protocol seems to be dispensed with when the Obamas come to town.
Michelle Obama and the Queen slipped their arms around each other towards the end of a reception at Buckingham Palace held in honour of the G20 leaders and their wives.
The US President and his wife appeared very relaxed in the company of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh from the start.
By the end of the evening, the two women were standing side by side and appeared to be chatting about their height difference. As they moved closer and continued to chat, the Queen put her hand on the back of Mrs Obama, who did the same for a few moments. Before she departed, the Mrs Obama told the Queen: “I really enjoyed our meeting.”
It had been considered a breach of protocol to touch the Queen. When the former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating put his arm around the Queen in 1992, he was branded the “Lizard of Oz”. When his successor, John Howard, was accused of doing the same, a spokesman insisted: “We firmly deny that there was any contact whatsoever.”

There’s a lot of junk in that trunk
Oh, and be assured, i DO agree with you 100%, its late and i was just feeling philosophical.
That dress and sweater is NOT proper attire for visiting the queen. And what kind of hat is that? Looks like an upside down bowl.
Ugly.
"Who is this person that is talking to me?"......... as if I were interested in what they have to say......
LOL! Really.

.... Sorry had to wipe the tears from my eyes!
The video on youtube shows her stomping through the door and across the room to meet the Queen - I think you’re right!
“And look the way she stands with her legs apart. No gracefulness whatsoever”
Actually, her thighs were together. :0)
LOL!
Queen Elizabeth....and The Queen Mary
Classless and clueless.
Those aren’t shoes, they’re gunboats!
A formal meeting of the leaders should not be the venue to
protest national protocol. It’s a sign of respect to one of
our staunchest allies.
How many times has the MSM lectured the U.S. about ignoring social customs of other cultures.
I believe this breach of formalities was intentional.
Obama hates whitey and especially England. Remember Zer0’s
mentorship under Frank Marshall then reverend Wright. Defiance of all mainstream middle class social norms.
Michelle’s touching the Queen I’m sure was planned.
I’ll bet Obama is laughing about the incident
e
He’s a well groomed, well trained robotic stalking horse forerunner from hell.
No Quix...his wife is the robot... he's just a simple minded alien...
LOL.
Now to go puke!
The Queen was just reaching back to find out if “it” is really as big as everyone says it is!
Did ZERO bend down to great the Saudi King? That I have never seen by an American President. I would think only a Muslim would do that or am I wrong?
ROFLMAO!!!!
