1. thankyou. K&R

Doesn't it feel good?

[TwilightGardener]

2. Absolutely awesome pics--thank you. I can't help but feel pride as an American--we

done good in November.

[roguevalley]

65. all lovely. the wives look great. The Queen looks genuinely happy.

[givemebackmycountry]

3. Pics 10 and 13

amazing

[Thrill]

4. Is that Naomi Campbell behind Michelle Obama?

[Ilsa]

9. I asked about that too. Waiting.... for detail on photo #10.

[MiniMe]

27. Possible, Naomi Campbell was at the dinner

[monmouth]

5. I'd be willing to bet that Charles and Michelle discussed her garden.

He would be the guy to talk to too. Also, Camilla seems in awe of Michelle, never saw her smile this much. They both made a fine impression on all, you can tell by their facial expressions. Good on them.

[Cha]

20. I hope so..that's big

important news over here!

[alsame]

39. The four of them

do seem to be getting along quite well. :)

[Sanity Claws]

6. Who is the woman behind Michelle in picture 10?

She looks like Naomi Campbell. I hope she has nicer temperament than Naomi.

[Jackeens]

10. That fruitloop, Naomi Bloody Campbell!!!!

Read here to see how she treats her 'staff':

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Campbell#Legal_and_physical_assault_issues

She is HATEFUL!!!!

[Rashel]

29. Sarah Brown chews her nails like mad! (pic 10)

[NoSheep]

45. So do I. So what?

[Rashel]

46. Oh. I guess if you do it too I shouldn't have mentioned it.

[NoSheep]

51. That's right. I think you should expect more of yourself.

[Ilsa]

7. Thanks, Jackeens! Gorgeous pics! And who is the

stunningly beautiful black woman standing behind Michelle in photo #10?

The G20 crowd looks reasonably happy. Charles looks happy. Camilla's back is to the camera.

Michelle Obama looks fantastic. "She is a woman of our times" said one woman on NBC tonight.

[Veruca Salt]

15. "She is a woman of our times"

I love that, so well said!

And beautiful pictures of both of them!

[Jackeens]

8. Picture 10....please tell me Naomi Campbell was NOT invited to Downing St? JESUS!!!!!!!!!!

[Ilsa]

11. I don't think it is Nah Nah. Close, but a different woman, I think. nt

[Jackeens]

13. Inconsolable....it WAS her....what was Downing Street thinking of?!

[Ilsa]

23. Blech. Why> What the hell? nevermind. I just want to forget about it. nt

[Sanity Claws]

24. Maybe the Queen has some old cell phones she wanted tossed

Naomi is quite the expert at throwing cell phones.

[PA Democrat]

17. David Shuster reported that she was indeed on the guest list.

Fortunately, Michelle was seated for dinner between JK Rowling and a female British Olympic athlete, I can't recall her name.

[Kahuna]

30. Ewwwww!

:puke:

[SeattleGirl]

12. #6 and #10 -- Love those photos!

As to whether the women in #10 is Naomi Campbell, I rather doubt it. The woman in the pic looks a little too young to be Naomi, though I see the resemblence.

[JayMusgrove]

14. What is Paul Krugman doing sitting with the Queen??? LOL

Just a joke, ok?

But he sure looks important, whoever that guy is.

Picture 3

[asphalt.jungle]

19. brazilian president lula

his complete name is longer.

[JayMusgrove]

22. Thanks, I know he was not Krugman... just laughing out loud n/t

[asphalt.jungle]

32. yeah i saw in your post that you were joking about that part

i was just really responding to this part of the post "But he sure looks important, whoever that guy is."

[ecstatic]

67. ok. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that caught that resemblance LOL nt

[Jackeens]

21. LOL...it's the president of Brazil! Paulo de Silva Krugmanio...something like that

:-)

[rvablue]

16. Yep!! It is indeed NAOMI CAMPBELL!!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/01/g20-downing-street-dinner-jamie-oliver

"Model Naomi Campbell will be among celebrity guests from the worlds of fashion, sport, business and the arts."

[Catamount]

28. Can someone please tell me about "lovage and samphira"...

obviously veggies--but what kind?

Thanks in advance !

[Jackeens]

33. LOL, had to look it up, hadn't a clue....

Lovage: a large, edible, white-flowered plant of the parsley family



Look like nettles to me :shrug:

Samphire: European plant of the parsley family that grows on rocks and cliffs by the sea. Its aromatic, fleshy leaves were formerly much used in pickles.

[Catamount]

37. Now that's why I'm not able to be a true vegetarian...compared to the

menu for the non vegetarians--I'd be starving by the end of the meal.

Thanks for looking that up!

:toast:

[Jackeens]

38. Oh Catamount, parsley is VERY filling.....

:crazy:

[Catamount]

57. Well it can be --when deep fried-no?

Cool elf!

[Beacool]

18. Hey, why is Lula sitting next to a white, blue eyed destroyer of the economy???

ROTFLMAO!!!

:rofl:

[Stinky The Clown]

25. That second picture, coming out of Number 10, is the worst single picture I have ever seen of him

Which, if you think about it, is high praise.

High speed digital cameras take stills as fast as movies. Absolutely anyone can be caught mid stride and appear a little off balance. Both Obamas are so incredibly graceful that almost never happens.

I am not saying this is a bad picture. I am saying it is the worst I have ever seen of him.

Think back to that simian we had before. This would, by comparison, be a great pose for him. We got 50 gawked-out snaps of him a day. He was genetically goofy.

[JayMusgrove]

26. Do all these people speak English?

Just wondering, it seems that English is now the language, and these people love listening and talking to our English Speaking President, (of course, the Brits speak SOME English, but their accent makes the hard for us to understand).

Now seriously, I would imagine that all world leaders, Germans, French, Chinese, Indian, etc, ALL must learn English and speak it rather well, ever since the Beatles.

Anyone know if all these people speak English? Just curious.

Wonderful pictures, by the way!!! Oh how I love our picture poster, Jackeens!!!

[Renew Deal]

48. Who cares? The question is do they speak American.

[Catamount]

31. Thank you so much for "my Obama fix"!

A big k&r
Just makes this old soul soar with hope despite of all the obvious problems to solve world wide.

You can see how all the people look so much happier than I've ever seen them before during a vist from a US President.

Thanks again and keep the photos coming!

[globalvillage]

34. Wow, she is stunning.

Black and white with a double strand of pearls. Classic.

[JayMusgrove]

35. In #3 Obama looks like he found a few "bro's" to shoot hoops with...

Oh, maybe that's not funny.

[DemocracyInaction]

36. Some of those women need some fashion tips

..like "do not pour your size 22 body into a size 12"! I think maybe the gals should have gotten on the phone before the event and did the "what are you wearing" chat!!! Michelle's outfit was perfect..not too "formal", not too casual, perfectly tailored, etc,. Gosh how I miss Ms. Laura's plastic face...not! I hope Obama and Mrs. Obama can communicate just by their appearances that we are open for business again in this country and reaching out and that the cowboys have been, FINALLY, driven out of dodge with their arrogance, ignorance, and hatefulness.

[Clio the Leo]

42. I love the wife with the photo purse. It's very Walmart chic. How adorable. NT

[Saphire]

40. #3...love the smile!! and #10 I just love the diversity of so many beautiful women.

[Clio the Leo]

41. Look at the JOY on Naomi's face!

Michelle brings out the best in people.

[JanusAscending]

60. It's NOT Naomi.

She is a leader of a small country, the name which I forget at the moment. I heard it on the evening news on NBC. Wish there were some way to google it. I'll try to check the NBC website. Maybe it will show up there.

[ecstatic]

68. No way. That's Naomi! LOL nt

[Hope And Change]

43. K & R!

[Arugula Latte]

44. YOU sleep well, too, Jackeens!

(I dunno ... I'm beginning to think you just DON'T sleep.)

:hi:

[Phx_Dem]

47. He is so in his element, it's ridiculous! He knows he has to come back, right?

Because he looks like he's really enjoying himself. I'm scared. ;-)

They're such a stunning couple.

[EffieBlack]

49. #3 is priceless! Further proof that deep down inside of our President

little Barry is having a complete ball!

[Undercurrent]

50. Wow. Just wow.

Our President and the First Lady are making quite a splash on the world stage. They are a stunning couple, but more than that, they are people of real substance. Intelligent, capable, and strong! I love being proud about our first couple again!

I really like this photo.

[xiamiam]

52. me too....these photos brought tears...i am so very proud...God, we so needed this..nt

[bdamomma]

53. well he's got the Saudis smiling, I wonder what he is saying to them.

[FrenchieCat]

54. Oh my! Are they ours? How grand! :)

[newview88]

55. Is it wrong that I only come to this forum for your photo threads?

Thanks Jackeens!! Keep 'em coming!

I love #3 and #14 because he is just beaming with happiness and it makes me beam with pride.

I love #15 because they look so perfect together. :)

[Tarheel_Dem]

56. They both have to be exhausted. How the hell can they still look so damn good? (nt)

[firedupdem]

59. Don't they look great? Beautiful couple, inside and out. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

66. Beautiful indeed. (nt)

[Catamount]

58. New question--where do they sleep--Airforce One ?

Thanks again!

:think:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

61. I like the pink linen dress the Queen has on.

Lovely shade of pink.

[Hekate]

62. She's looking good for such a little old lady, isn't she? She holds up well...

No disrespect intended at all -- I rather like the Queen, given that she's someone else's monarch. I think she tries hard.

Hekate

[Patiod]

63. I keep forgetting how TALL Michelle is

Nice to see a tall girl in the center of things (we tall girls are tall girls until we're 60)

[lunatica]

64. There are a lot of beautiful First Ladies there

I love it when they wear their traditional clothes.
