From the BBC coverage on NPR it seems Obama was well liked in Ireland.

CNN's John King, right after showing the humongous ravages of tornadoes in Alabama and Missouri, goes onto caption a clip, pointing out Obama was enjoying dinner with the queen. Classic!

^^^ You already know the media was gonna do that. At least I was expecting it from Faux News but CNN is just the same....I wonder If Obama even knows what is going on, parts of Oklahoma was declared a disaster area. Alot of people are missing, Im sure Obama will have to adress the nation.
On a side note have they found that Young Boy that just Graduated H.S before being sucked out of the Sun Roof of his car, I hope he is O.K really sad.

He is certainly the least white, but that is another story. Politically he certainly does remind me of a Roosevelt and he certainly does like carrying "the big stick", meaning using force to expand and support Anglo-American interests in the world.
In fact, I would say that this trip to Britain certainly shows America's "special" relationship with Britain. I mean he is only the second president to get an official state visit to Britain and he stayed in the palace.

Obama may be the least white president of the US to come visiting, but he's probably got more British blood in him than most of the British royal family. Obama's mother was a Dunham, which sounds quite British to me. The real name of the 'Windsor' family is Saxe Coburg und Gotha, which George V changed to 'Windsor' during WWI for PR purposes. Prince Philip's original family name was Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, his mother was a von Battenburg, which all sounds a bit Germanic!
Much as I might admite the first lady in that dress, I can't see anything Egyptian about her. I think the Duchess of Cambride looks more like an Egyptian than Mrs Obama does, and her brother James Middleton definitely could pass for a north African...

... and his father was in the British army as a cook.

Urhhhh not really in his case -- I guess I could see it on the lips a little.
In hers I say good job on how it looks like she could turn her heads and be framed just like that. From the side in an actual photo not so much tho.. .
Also as you must've noticed from Wysinger's post just above, that's a faded Nefertari.
