beautiful summation Cord…& to cap your succint PFO to the pretentious piss & vinnegar, hatemongering petty Republicans, it should be stated - what the fuck does one gift a woman like the Queen of England who truly has e v e r y t h i n g….a very thoughtful gift the iPod with the known fav showtunes of the Queen who quite probably wouldn't get them for herself as well as video of her recent visits to American historic sites of relevance to the UK…a very thoughtful gift she is sure to enjoy & it is of no wonder the Queen was indeed touched by the gesture…

And it was reported that the Queen was so taken by Michelle that she said: "Now we've met, will you please keep in touch?" Bottom line is the Queen is a nice person and she likes nice people.

Just like me.

cord-if only truth and common sense would get people to stfu about the obama's. but it ain't gonna happen. tomorrow they'll be aghast at the hem of michelle's dress…

i mean of course the petty and personal stuff about the obama's–politics are fair game.

Oh look its Shellys version of the Sarah Palins hair-do. Not a good look, looks more like a creature off Star Trek

Oh Cord I love it when you hit it out of the park.

You said it Cord, If you don't like Obamas policies, or hell if you just don't like Obama…your a racist.

With a brain like yours, why aren't YOU president?

The Queen has impeccable manners, she would never embarrass a guest.

Rush told story yesterday of a poor man at a formal dinner with the Queen, thought his fingerbowl was soup, so not to embarrass the man, the Queen, followed suit as did the others at the party. Evidently quite a famous story. Good lesson in manners, for all of us. Queen Elizabeth II has met 11 presidents of the United States.

I'm a dumb old bag but Rush tells me what to think so I be okay

same story told on Larry King for the Rush bashers

I personally saw the video of them meeting the President and First Lady you can see how delighted the Queen is to meet them. I challenge everyone to watch it I've seen her Prince husband ever smile that. They were both absolutely beaming and this Queen will always show her displeasure if she is not really enthusiastic about meeting someone. Watch her meet movie stars at movie premieres or how she acted with George Bush for that matter. If she doesn't not like you she shows it. It's hilarious it just kills people that she hugged First Lady Michelle Obama.

The Queen should be excited to meet the President of the United States period! She didn't hug FLOTUS she responded to FLOTUS breaking protocol by placing her hand on the Queen's lower back. Bad form by FLOTUS. Are you aware that US citizens are also not allowed to touch the president? Also bad form by the Messiah by bowing real low to the King of Saudi Arabia. The IPOD had Messiah speeches in it NOT movies (mixing up with Gordon Brown's great gift!). Also not mentioned at all in the Lame Stream Media is that the Messiah tried to muscle France/Germany and the rest of the G20 countries to enact massive stimulus spending plans in their countries and France/Germany pitched a hissy fit and said NO. The result of the G20? 1 Trillion dollars to the IMF (NOTE: the US has agreed to contribute to this cause NOT the entire Trillion - I think). With what money?

@ILoveAmerica: If you really think the President is the messiah you are either crazy and are deliberately trying to insult christians. I don't believe in trying to push religion on people but as a christian the constant blasphemy from you gets to be a bit much. If you don't like the President that is your privilege and your right but stop insulting Jesus Christ it is beyond below the belt to the hundreds of millions of christians out there. I would never dream of insulting Allah or Hashem or whomever you do or don't worship.

Potus and Flotus should have someone in protocol to advise them. Either they don't or the person should be fired or they don't listen to them.

Actions speak louder than words, let's see what happens when someone breaks their protocol and we shall see what happens.

By the way, GWB and the Queen are related. many times removed, but related just the same. GWB has always recieved from the Queen, a bit of playful non-approval from her Majesty.

GWB is the only president in history who is related to four other presidents. His father, both Adams, and on his mother's side Pierce. Just a bit of trivia.

You should capitalize Christians…and I'm insulting the liberals who referred to him in the media as "The Messiah". He clearly is so polar opposite of a man who sacrificed himself for all of us - I thought that was apparent.

@ILoveAmerica: No you are insulting Christians. Pick someone else's religion to make fun of to make your silly points.

@ILoveAmerica: that is right out of the getreal playbook. She likes to pretend she takes something literally and then acts outraged. Just one of her many cheap tricks.

@ILoveAmerica:
okay, you need to back that up with some proof buddy. the ONLY time i've EVER heard him referred to as The Messiah is by republicans. not one liberal, democrat, pundit, newscaster. just people trying to belittle other people that support obama.

68% of Americans consider themselves Christians I think people can think whatever they want but it is below the belt to make fun of people's religion. If some people think that is silly who cares. Some of us were raised with different values than you and it just seems unnecessary that you have to constantly make fun of Christ. You should be able to find a better way to make your point. Some people actually leave in something and the America you claim to love is a largely christians nation so stop with the Jesus jokes. It's enough.

The only one insulting Christians is the one who claims to getreal! Getreal get outraged over paying my taxes b/c at my age I'm filing bankruptcy that way I get more money from my neighbor. My home and all my possessions have already been signed over to my kids, avoiding the IRS and the death tax (and gift tax for that matter!)and I will begin running up my credit cards at WalMart, not paying a dime to the balance. All the while getreal will be working, paying more taxes and paying for my healthcare and I will be walking down the street, eating ice cream, smiling knowing that getreal is paying my way…

Weezy - Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman to name two…

neither of them called him a messiah. yes they both supported him, but it would have been career suicide to call a candidate the messiah.

Louis Farrakan in a speech (Just googled it) and Matthews DID refer to him as "The Messiah"

@ILoveAmerica: I'm sorry life did not work out for you and are so destitute you can't do your part and pay taxes. The inheritance tax is a pittance unless someone is very wealthy. Rich conservatives named it the death tax to sell it to poor people like you. Maybe you should get a job instead of just feeling sorry for yourself and sponging off others. See I'm at work right now you can work and post. I hear Walmart is always hiring the elderly a job there might be what it takes to get you back on your feet. Be well.

Why work when I can sponge off you! I've decided to embrace Socialism - at your expense! You really disappoint me with your drivel…why not GET REAL?

@ILoveAmerica: That's not Socialism that is welfare. Before you rail against something maybe you should know what it means. We have had socialized schools, police and fire departments, water and food safety for 80-100 years and we have maintained a capitalist country. Are you suggesting we do away with public school, police and fire departments, and water filtration? No then you are defending a form of socialism that has existed in our country for 100 years. If you want to be a dead beat have at it does not change my life a bit. Have fun on the breadline blaming everyone because your life didn't turn out right. Cry me a river.

@ILoveAmerica: I would just bet your kids went to one those socialized public schools didn't they?

Oh GetReal thanks for keeping it real - you are a tool. Having schools, police and fire do not represent SOCIALISM you idiot. The US economy is the strongest economy in the world DUE to the entrepreneurial drive that a capitalist based economy provides. Having water and food safety (HUH?) and water filtration defines socialism? Didn't know Karl Marx wrote about water plants but I guess you schooled me there. As far as me being a deadbeat is that nice picking on the people in society to whom you must give and share your wealth with? I'm only following the lead of the Democrats who want all of us to be more dependent on the government. That's what this administration is advocating. Don't you support this administration and it's nationalization of the banks and the auto industry?

Oh and by the way don't cry for me I made all the money I'll ever need, and my family is well provided for by capitalism so no breadline for me I'll be eating cake!

@getreal:
I will give you that our public education system is definitely geared toward the liberal/socialist agenda. My kids recognized early on that facts TRUMP liberal ideology. They were wise enough to spew back whatever propaganda was hurled at them, if only to get great grades, finish college, grad school and beyond. What education level did you stop at?

lemme guess…..

@ILoveAmerica: Oh, but getreal is highly educated. Daddy the lawyer sent her to the best experimental schools where she mentally stewed with others just like herself. I think she has her own dummy corporation for funneling the retirement money she cons from daddy every month.

She is looking to pick up a date from the Jossip crowd. Can you dance?

@fanofgrendel:
Need to see a picture first…It's got to be love at first sight…

I'd let fanofgrendel touch me all over.

@ILoveAmerica: I have my bachelors if you must know and unlike my father and my sister choose not to go to law school as it was not my calling. Good luck with the whole bankruptcy, all jokes aside it is always darkest right before dawn.

Barry goes to Europe, just to diss us, gives out a trillion dollar (so far) and gets 5000 trainer/policemen for the war he planning on surg in Afgan. Michelle wows Europe with her ugly outfits (I'm so glad, people are beginning to speak out) (Michelle ain't gorgeous and she's no fashion icon), gives the Queen of England a big hug and I-pod and First Lady of France a guitar. Wow, I'm so glad we're moving on up, to the big time!

@Rhonda: I hope things get better Rhonda, seriously. You posts indicate such anger, unhappiness, and your "facts" when checked are always erroneous. Maybe you try not to be so hard on everyone all the time. You might find you are a happier person. Be well.

@getreal: Your condescending attitude toward anyone who isn't in your shoes is offensive, to say the least. If law school wasn't your calling, as you say, it's because you haven't a logical bone in your body and the LSATs picked up on that immediately. You simply don't have the objectivity and ability to reason that is required to pass the LSAT. Not your calling, my ass. You just couldn't cut it. My immediate family members who are lawyers and judges COULD cut the mustard, and didn't have the benefit of important connections to help them.

You've made several comments that expose the fact that you look down on blue collar workers. You are tedious and a boorish bore.

Getreal

I thought you weren't talking to me? Every since I "shared" with you that my Dad was a union worker, you have have been a little "snob" along with being a little "bitch" How many people you employ in your corporation? I'll share first, I am self-employed and employ 3 part-time.

@Rhonda: Why do I get the feeling that GETREAL is chief cook and bottle washer of her corporation and that they are a non profit entity?

Hi Fan

Getreal just can't help herself! I think she is a do-gooder of some sort!

Aren't you glad our president went to Europe and stuck up for us? Bet our troops are impressed with their chief!

When did running your own corporate become unattainable or unrealistic to the average American. All it takes is hard work and belief in yourself. Be frugal start putting money into a fund every week when you have a good nest egg get your business plan together go to an attorney and incorporate (it only took me 4 years to do this part). Spend the first six months -1 year working 7 days a week 15 hours a day. Next hire employees, work hard, save, save, save. It not complicated or particularly difficult our country is full of millions of people doing just this. Although for a childish troll who has nothing to offer but silly pictures it would be unattainable.

@Rhonda: I try to avoid angry people but I am very impressed in your dad's union record and have many friends who are leaders in the labor movement. I however do not believe as you do that unions are no longer a good thing they are working for the average American not the corporations. We are similar in that I have 1 full time employee and 3 part time employees (30 hours a week or less). I was not being condescending when I said you should not be so hard on others. It was not a joke and was not meant to be patronizing. In my experience people who are hard on others are twice as hard on themselves and no one deserves that kind of pressure. If you meant to insult me by calling a do-gooder you failed that is one of the highest compliments that one can bestow. Whatever my problems are with you as a person it is always good to hear about another woman running her own company and making it happen. Be well.
