Let's Hug it Out!


I cannot believe that there has been so much fuss about Michelle Obama placing her hand on the Queen's back. Let's get some perspective, people.

1. The Queen placed her hand on Michelle's back first.

2. As a non-subject, Ms. Obama is not held to the same rules of protocol as a citizen of the UK or any of the commonwealth nations (Canada, Australia, Bermuda, etc) would be . Barring appearing to be very rude, MO isn't even required to curtsy to the Queen.

3. With all the problems in the world right now, this is what we have to focus on? Is it a prolonged April Fools joke? I hope so.
