Queen Feels White Guilt

The only thing I could think of when I read this was the episode of "The Jeffersons" when George met Tom (the mixed-marriage, white husband of George's son's fiance) and as Tom was hugging and slapping him, George saying "touchy, feely, touchy, feely."

"the smiling queen strayed slightly from protocol and briefly wrapped her arm around the first lady in a rare public show of affection"

So the first reports were wrong, MSM -- or is this JUST ANOTHER REVISED COVER-UP?

"Michelle Obama and Queen Elizabeth II hit it off; In a rare move, monarch hugs the first lady" by Jennifer Quinn, Associated Press | April 3, 2009

LONDON - Michelle Obama's meeting with Queen Elizabeth II began with a handshake and ended in a hug.

The first lady arrived Wednesday with President Barack Obama. After separate meetings on the eve of the G-20 summit, the couple attended an evening reception for world leaders hosted by the queen.

Mrs. Obama clearly made an impression with the 82-year-old monarch - so much that the smiling queen strayed slightly from protocol and briefly wrapped her arm around the first lady in a rare public show of affection.

It was the first time Mrs. Obama, who is nearly a foot taller, had met the queen. Mrs. Obama also wrapped her arm around the monarch's shoulder and back.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman who asked not to be identified because of palace policy said he could not remember the last time the queen had displayed such public affection with a dignitary.

"It was a mutual and spontaneous display of affection," he said. "We don't issue instructions on not touching the queen."

When the former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating put his arm around the queen in 1992, the tabloids dubbed him 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." In 2007, President George W. Bush gave the queen a sly wink during a visit she paid to the United States.

Now that he is gone, one forgets the real licentous scum he was.

The Daily Mail said, "The two women clearly took to each other."

Wednesday's reception was followed by a dinner at Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Downing Street home, where the leaders' spouses were joined by notable British women, including "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling and Olympic gold medal runner Kelly Holmes.

"Michelle walks in, and she is as she seems," Holmes told reporters yesterday. "So warm, engaging, a beautiful, beautiful lady - and I quickly got my photo in the middle of her and Sarah Brown," the prime minister's wife.

So when did the Boston Globe and AmeriKa's MSM become People magazine?

It sure explains a lot: Times Co. may shut Globe

Mrs. Obama also seemed to win over the British press.

The last time a president's wife made such a hit in Britain was last year with Carla Bruni, the wife of President Nicolas Sarkozy of France.

But yesterday, the London's Times had moved on, writing, "Carla who?"

The BBC described Mrs. Obama as her husband's costar rather than supporting act.

Mrs. Obama visited an all-girls' school in north London yesterday afternoon. She told the 240 girls about growing up on Chicago's south side and urged them to think of education as "cool."

"I never cut class," she said. "I liked being smart. I liked getting A's. You have everything you need. Everything you need to succeed you already have right here."

Translation: I like being indoctrinated and comforming.

At the end of the visit, Mrs. Obama doled out hugs to the students and was swarmed by them - to the extent that some Secret Service agents stepped nervously forward.

What, she at a Muslim school?
