Some blacks and whites have been ecstatic that there's a "black" in the White House. It's seen by both black & white as a historical moment.
Let's take a look at this "historical" moment from a historical "white" and "Asian" perspective.
Historically, blacks have been thought of as savage, ignorant barbarians who, despite the invention of the street light, the Cosby Show and thousands of uses for the peanut, have nothing positive to contribute to society at large.
When it comes to Africa, they can't run their continent for the life of them. Pretty much, the world as a whole, has to take care of it since they can't.
Like it or not - that's the way it's seen and the way it's been seen for generations.
Like it or not - obama and his equally crass & boorish wife appear as though they are trying to fulfill white and asian opinions of blacks.
When PM Brown made the traditional visit to the White House, he was greeted as though he were Joe Shmoe. The excuse was obama was tired; he had a lot on his shoulders and he had more important things to focus on.
He gave Brown a gift of DVD's, which were probably the American editions, which don't work on European DVD players.
Brown, on the other hand, gave pearls to swine:
"There was a first edition of Sir Martin Gilbert’s authorized biography of Churchill, all seven volumes of it, so a bit of the Churchill touch endures in the White House on British insistence. There was a framed commissioning paper for HMS Resolute, rescued by an American whaler in 1856; part of HMS Resolute was later made into the desk presented by Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880, and used by American presidents to this day.
And then there was the third present. As Reuters reports it, the gift was:
a pen holder fashioned from the timber of HMS Gannet, a sister ship of the Resolute that also served for a time on anti-slavery missions off Africa."
It's doubtful that obama with his lack of class, refinement and intellect, is capable of comprehending and appreciating the gifts and the background behind them. Therefore - pearls to swine.
And now on to the Queen. The Telegraph said:
"Top advisers to Barack Obama are rehearsing the etiquette and debating what gifts the President will give to Queen Elizabeth when he meets the British monarch in London.
The gifts have been selected with extra care, protocol lessons on royal etiquette are being delivered..."
What top advisors told him an iPod would make the perfect gift to give to the Queen??? What top advisors told his vulgar, barbaric wife that it's ok to hug the Queen???
Where were the rehearsals? Where was the etiquette training?
Gee, I don't know, but what I do know is this - out of everyone who has met the Queen, it's mostly blacks who have refused to follow and/or ignored protocol. I'll leave it with that. It should be enough to say it all.
As for the muzlim's "top advisors" might I suggest acquiring copies of "Culture Shock" and study up on the various cultures of the world and learn etiquette.
You might also want to stop by ehow! There's a simple little list that even you lot might be able to understand when it comes to greeting the Queen.
Meanwhile, I'm waiting for obama to give Prince William a boxed set of Star Wars Legos and Prince Harry a copy of "Diary of a Wimp."

You're a moron. He gave the Queen an iPod because she asked for one. How dare that boor give the Queen what she wanted. Everyone knows the proper courtesy is to completely ignore the Queen's wishes.
ROFL!!! Do you seriously believe the Queen of England is going to ask for an ipod? ROFL!!!! Not hardly!
Whoever thinks the Queen would ask for an ipod is a moron.
She is 83. She is too classy to have asked for a specific gift too.
Obama doesn't have any class.
LOL After Kevin displayed his ignorance, I spent the day saying, "What on earth do they teach these kids nowadays???"
Obviously nothing. They don't understand the difference between royalty and commoners. The Queen asks no one for anything. She's the Queen, for crying out loud.
Proper etiquette before the Queen isn't rocket science. It's mostly common sense, something of which is lacking with kids these days.
Obama has no class and apparently none of his advisers do either. They sure aren't any good when it goes to giving gifts to foeign leaders.
Next on his list is a McDonald's gift certificate to Prince Charles. LOL
Update this doggone thing!!
