It has been reported by just about all the newspapers online and TV news. As you point out, it looked like the Queen made the first move - and I think Michelle Obama was simply reciprocating the friendly gesture. They both looked very happy and relaxed and I bet the Queen is laughing about all the fuss being made over the incident.<BR/><BR/>I think Michelle Obama is a very classy lady and an ideal role model for young people especially young women. I love that she told the girls at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School that education, rather than their background, counted the most in life. She told them:<BR/>“If you want to know the reason why I am standing here, it’s because of education. I never cut class. I loved getting As, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world. You, too, with these values, can control your own destiny. You, too, can pave the way.” <BR/><BR/>Truly inspirational words and I'm sure they will never forget them!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594795794677984027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492893503803541461.post-40575694235243345032009-04-02T20:31:00.000+01:002009-04-02T20:31:00.000+01:00I love this woman!

Apart from the fact that it sounds like the Queen made the first move, the Obamas are not hicks. They will have been well prepped in what to do and what not to do. Michelle is a class act and speaks from the heart.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.com
