Crazyboutscott....... "positive impression" is an understatement!!! They have won everyone over and inspired such respect!!

Michelle Obama visited a school yesterday - she was the surprise guest at the school assembly and there was a never ending spontaneous applause when she walked in. She gave a superb speech about education and how it was "cool to be clever and good in school" etc.

At the end of the speech she leaned forward from the stage to shake hands with the (by now) speechless and owe struck pupils, at which point all the children run forward towards the stage and started hugging and kissing her (let me tell you her security agents had a couple of terrified moments!!)..... but she hugged and kissed them all back for several minutes - Michelle Obama was so genuinely moved that she was chocking back tears.

As I said in my previous post, the Obamas also went to Buckingham Palace to meet our Queen...... who also appeared to be starstruck by them. So much so that Queen Elisabeth broke with protocol and actually embraced Michelle Obama..... which caused quite a steer in the media. You see apart from shaking hands..... the Queen never actually touches anyone in public and it is absolutely against protocol to touch or embrace the Queen. But as I said.... on this occasion Queen Elisabeth was so happy to meet the Obamas that she actually put an arm on Michelle's back..... and of course Michelle Obama did the same....... that was incredible if you consider that we never even saw the Queen embracing her children in public over the 55 years she's been reigning.

Of course all the fashion magazines are besotted with Michelle Obama sense of fashion, style and elegance, which they are now frantically trying to copy - again as I said in the previous post, we have not seen this kind of coverage since the Princess Diana's days.
