Can you believe it? Michelle Obama putting her arm around the Queen of England?
I thought I would have a heart attack! It was so "familiar" and "American" somehow. the long long arm just about ready to caress the Queen's back. A collective gasp all around the world.
And the difference in size was like a comedy routine. Michelle way up there. And poor Queenie way down there.
And yet. And yet. "Don't talk before she does" "Don't reach to shake her hand"
Don't you think this is all a bit archaic? Queen or not. Shouldn't we be beyond this silliness? Haven't we grown out of the whole "bowing" thing - and all it represents?
Americans love royalty, I've heard. They love the Queen thing.
At any rate - Michelle seemed determined to get real friendly with Elizabeth while she had the chance.
I wonder if she winced a bit when she saw the re-runs.
