It might come as a shock to liberals, but not everybody is falling over themselves to accommodate President Obama, including one very eminent head of state.
Planning a highly publicized trip to the UK, Obama and his staff seemed to believe that the Queen would receive him at Buckingham Palace, her main place of residence and affairs of state, when he visits the country next year.
But the Queen won’t be seeing him there: instead, he and his entourage will have to travel 22 miles to see her at Windsor Castle, where she will wait for the president. Apparently, she didn’t think it was worth the extra effort of making the trip back to London for Obama.

In hindsight, perhaps the Queen’s snub of Obama was foreseeable. Obama has done much to anger Britons, urging them to stay in the EU in spite of widespread hostility to such a move, and slamming Prime Minister David Cameron for his handling of Libya.
Understandably, the Queen’s office was quick to defend her action, pointing out that other presidents have had to make the trek from Buckingham to Windsor before:
“The Daily Mail’s claim that the Queen is refusing to return to London has been dismissed by her spokesman.
He said: ‘It is appropriate that The Queen will receive the President of the United States at Windsor Castle next month when she is at Windsor for Easter Court.
‘President Reagan stayed at Windsor in 1982 and President George W Bush visited The Queen at Windsor during his last full year in office in 2008, and of course Windsor is the setting for a number of State Visits, most recently for the Presidents of Ireland and France.
Going back further in time, The Queen received President Eisenhower at Balmoral Castle in 1959.’
The president’s visit to Britain is expected to be just after the Queen celebrates her 90th birthday on April 21.
It is set to be his last visit to this country as President of the USA.”

So what, hell half of us snub Obama.
I cheer for the Queen !
OH yea……… Queen of England !
Why is he even going to England. Oh, may Michelle want another “non-vacation” vacation to spend more money. The Queen has every right not to see him. He is an embarrassment to this country, has acted irresponsibly towards ISIS and has done nothing good for us. He has aided and abetted the enemy, tried to destroy our constitution and Bill of Rights. He is a muslim, murdering, low class insult to this country.
God bless the Queen!!
Good for her.
yea for the queen.
For the past 16 years we have been deceived, lied to, mocked, invaded by islam against our will, and all by those who took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, and to protect the American people. Illegal emigrants have been given a special status above natural born citizens. Our allies thrown to the curb by a man who obviously is a communist with muslim ties, who works side by side with the muslim brotherhood to slip Islam in our schools and every aspect of American society. Our right to free speech has been attacked by soros and our own government. Riots and paid protesters have been creating hate in out streets and rallies, many of whom were sent to do so by Soros and those in Washington, as well as cruz , bernie, Kosich, and clinton, Our president is now making deals with cuba a terrorist funding country, as he did with Iran. Our country is in danger and if we do not take this opportunity to stop them, we may never get the chance again. If protesters start up, do not fall for the trap, because any stupid move on our part will be used by the lying media to hurt trump! Let them make fools of themselves. I am proud of mr. trump, he sounded like Ronald Reagan right there, amazing! Do not let these criminals in Washington or those soros puppets running against trump dirty his name, when they hit him, hit them back harder with facts not hate! Pray fortrump and his family!
Why NOT? He snubs ALL our allies and Embraces TERRORIST COUNTRIES!
Good
