Well, la dee dah: Obamas are proud of the Queen

  What greater compliment can be conferred on the Queen of England?
  Well, greater than having an iPod with the American King's greatest speeches on it.
  Barack and Michelle are PROUD of the Queen.

“I think,” the president said, “what the Queen symbolizes — not just to Great Britain but to the entire commonwealth and obviously the entire world — is the best of England. And we’re very proud of her.”

  One has to infer from this tidbit of information that the Obamas believe that the greatest thing in the world is to  receive such an acknowledgement from the King and Queen of this country.
  In the midst of his compliment-fest, Obama somehow AGAIN managed to compliment, yes, HIMSELF. (Little sumpin for her, little sumpin for ME.) From Politico:

“One of the great aspects of this job is it gives you an opportunity to meet with people from all walks of life,” he said. “You’ve had a chance to talk to the Queen of England on one day, and the next day you have the chance to talk to somebody in a diner off a highway here in the United States. And what you find is that there’s a lot of wisdom to be found — if you’re willing to listen. And I think most politicians spend most of their time talking instead of listening. That’s a habit that I try to break.”

  Hail, Barack and Michelle! 
  Maybe that's why you have such big ears to hear the people with.
  We don't think this is condescending at all.
  It's much more level headed than an iPod with the King's SPEECHES.
