[Konvas] WAYYYY OT: Obama in the UK

[H. W. Stone]

 Two quick parts to this reply--? one, the camera.

The frame count and overlap are signs as to the CAMERA quality-- the image is a sign as to the LENS quality.? Never confuse the two, the camera is not that good but the lenses are.


 
And number two--? the Queen, the First Lady, and "the US versus the world."

No member of the government of the United States is allowed to bow or show any "deference" to any King, Queen, Emperor, or Ruler of any nation.? Period.? That stems from the very founding of the confederation of states, before "we" formally even became the United States, and one key "pillar of construction" was that any member of the United States had equal rank and privilege to any peer or royal of any country, and should be allowed to treat them as they treated him or her.? 

No bowing, no scraping, and if the Queen can touch an American woman, be she First Lady or just a maid off the street, that American can touch her back.

It might not sound like much, but it is one of the founding principals of the country, and it applies overseas just as much as it applies here.

No American bows to the President, and while an official motorcade may have priority in traffic, that official motorcade must yield to an ambulance, too.? 

We're kind of stuck up that way.

?"?Nobody can touch the Queen even her 
husband!? She's a cold fish.?"??

Well, evidence suggests 
that?the Queen's?husband has at least touched her on four 
occasions.?

I'll end my waste of 
Konvas bandwith now and promise not to make any more comments...this might never 
end (but it did cheer up my day).
