Finally I don't have to cringe when my President leaves the country and gives a speech .

Amazing isn't it ?

[SF13]

I thought Queen Elizabeth was a bit charmed by the Obama's, considering the world leaders she has met.

[DFL]

I'M PROUD TO BE AMERICAN AGAIN!

[datone]

Ditto, DFL. It is good to be back.

[Havnagudtim]

AMEN, and AMEN BROTHER. My heart swells, my spirit lifts, I believe we can be the positive force so needed today.

[athenatwo]

At last a president and first lady I can be proud of.

[datone]

I haven't felt like this since Jack & Jackie we re in the White House.

[Corine]

I am french, living in America, and I am proud too of the Obama's. However, my president, who may have some good points, still comes accross as an angry french midget, compared to Obama.

[munki]

I am proud of people's President...

not distant, arrogant, haughty... categorizing themselves as a separate entity while, we the people voted...

Thank you... finally, we have a President that is willing to listen... listen to what makes sense...

[ritenow]

After the last eight years, I am can say I'm proud of my President, the First Lady, and our country!

[sshaler]

This all sounds like the 20th century all over again. Why aren't these world leaders outside joining with the people? They by-passed a chance to get out and talk to 10s of thousands of people in London. Can you imagine the good will, enthusiasm and spirit of change that could have been generated there with a little inclusion of the throngs of people who showed up outside because they care?!

[Archie1955]

This is the first time in eight years that I am pleased that the president spends some time with the Queen, Every other time during the last eight years if the president was going to be in Her Majesty's presence I worried about Her dignity because Bush was such a fool. Actually after 56 years as the reigning monarch she has some not so memorable moments to forget ,such as the time she was mooned by a number of African tribesmen. But honestly they couldn't do worse than that nincompoop Bush. What a total disaster he was and I'm sure still is. At least Angela Merkel will be saved having to endure an unrequested back massage.

It's refreshing to see an American president who can speak in complete sentence after 8 long years.

[awiathoff]

..only when the TOTUS is there..

and what about those DVD's, not PAL standard.....and the use of "England"..instead of "Great Britian"..

[gr8by]

I'm taking the bait here....

So, did you know that the DVD encoding is done by the DVD manufacturers? And, did you know that the DVDs were a special collection created by the American Film Library?

So why would there be encoding? Did you read about it in the Daily Torygraph?

Gossip, Gossip, Gossip.

[GunneraGirl]

B -R-I-T-A-I-N,

not Britian

[Sevres]

I am very proud of this man and his family. We have been given dignity, integrity, intelligence, humility and neighborly kindness. We have been gifted after being sorely punished for many, many decades. I still can't believe he's OURS!!!!

[Lahonda]

What an insightful and world-conscious man! We have found a true statesman in President Obama.

My hope meter just jumped a notch or two.

[awiathoff]

THE COMMENTS SHOULD BE EMPTY!!!..

ALL HUFFPO READERS should be Protesting the G-20 in london...smashing windows...acting for the cadre of press that are shut off by O...

[quixoto]

So... that's where you're going to be then, correct? As soon as you're done posting this comment, right?

[awiathoff]

[awiathoff]

..who are like the characters in the movie, Independence Day, parading, on top of the Empire State building, with their signs, "Welcome to Earth".

[Khirad]

Way to go on dodging the football question. Just so happens Scotland played in qualifiers today. Funny how Gordon seems to be ashamed to be a Scot... Obama (and Americans) need to be more mindful when using the UK, Great Britain and England interchangeably as well. The President did a stellar job, and yet that little thing still makes me want to pound my head against a wall - especially when Obama is part Scottish himself!

[Lahonda]

...all the smart ones ha'e a "wee touch of the heather" in them, nay?

[Texas4Obama]

Is there a schedule for THURSDAY ?

[Texas4Obama]

I found this....

Sarah Brown, Britain’s first lady, will take Michelle Obama and other spouses on a tour in London Thursday during the G-20 economic summit.
