According to the Telegraph, the Queen has invited President Obama to take tea with her when he's in town for the G20 summit in April. Some in the British press (notably, the Telegraph reporter Iain Martin) are apparently annoyed at Obama's eagerness to accept her invitation after he gave Gordon Brown what they judge lame gifts including a DVD box set and some toy helicopters. Whatever, Iain. I'll take those DVDs if you don't want them. It would be totally cool to have tea with the Queen, too, but I think I'd be so nervous I'd drop my priceless teacup. I bet they'd have really good snacks, too.

One can only hope that Her Majesty comes to her senses and cancels this appointment, or at the very least, lock the moron in a room with Prince Phillip for an hour. Odama is persona non grata by many in the UK, not for his rude treatment towards our PM or the gift of 25 DVD's, but for the contempt he holds for England and the comments made by your State Department a few days ago.
I wonder how it went, this tea party... follow up needed!
