Will It ever stop? the MEDIA needs to get off the bullshit and do real work.Can you imagine what would have happen if Pres Obama would have gave the Queen a picture of the Obama family? OMG it would have been all over Faux fix news! at the end of the day hypocrites will be hypocrites. And the Queen put her arm around the first lady first, and the Queen did not shug! why is the media stretching the truth!! and lyeing? even yesterday about the protest they said one man got killed, but if you look at the UK news the man had a heart attack because the police wouldn’t let him leave to get medicine! gezzzz the U.S.A. media is a total joke!!
Michelle Obama breaks royal protocol by giving the Queen a hug
what protocol?? get a life its clearly seen that the Queen is touching first!, and why can’t we hold our First Lady to the same standards it appears that the bias media is always looking for some type of fault from our new president instead of searching for there own.
America’s First Lady Michelle Obama broke royal protocol during a reception at Buckingham Palace when she placed her arm around the Queen.
But rather than take offence, Her Majesty took the unusual step of returning the gesture by putting her arm round Mrs Obama’s waist – almost as if to confirm the special relationship the politicians are so keen to play up.
The extraordinary scenes took place yesterday as Barack Obama made his first visit to Britain as U.S. President.
According to eyewitnesses, the exchange occurred as the Queen was waiting in the Throne Room following the official group picture with the national leaders here for the G20 Summit.
One said: ‘There was a bit of a bottleneck as all of the leaders filed out so the Queen started chatting to Michelle Obama. She appeared to look up at her and make a comment about how tall she was.
‘As she did, she put her arm around Mrs Obama and rested her gloved hand on the small of her back.’
Almost simultaneously, Mrs Obama put her arm around the Queen’s shoulders rather more firmly.
‘The pair then looked at their feet and appeared to be discussing their shoes.
‘The Queen then dropped her arm and, a few seconds later, Michelle did the same. The entire exchange lasted around eight to ten seconds but was absolutely extraordinary.’
No-one – including the ladies-in-waiting standing nearby – could believe their eyes. In 57 years, the Queen has never been seen to make that kind of gesture and it is certainly against all protocol to touch her.
‘But she didn’t seem to mind a bit and was smiling and joking throughout,’ the eyewitness said.

The Queen put her hand around our First Lady first as a sign of affection. The Palace said they have not seen the Queen do that in almost 30 years. This tells me that Michelle made quite an impression on the Queen. No breach of Protocol whatsoever. GET OVER IT MEDIA!!
SHOWS THE QUEEN HAS “CLASS”, AND DIDN’T WANT TO PUBLICLY HUMILIATE MICHELLE, WHO ALREADY HAS ENOUGH BAGGAGE. WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT THE QUEEN TO DO. SHE WOULD HAVE REACTED THE SAME IF MICHELLE HAD FARTED DURING THE “NON-CURTSY.”
