In her 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II met 13 US presidents. But there was one that she took a special shine to. In his book "Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir from Queen Mary to Meghan Markle," author Tom Quinn wrote, "after meeting Barack Obama who she completely fell in love with – she has frequently asked her courtiers if they could arrange for him to come to Britain now he is no longer president." Over their eight years spent in the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama visited Buckingham Palace three times. The pair got off to a

It must have been the iPOD of his speeches he gave her.

The Queen was nothing if not gracious. In the south, we'd use the term " Bless his heart." And try not to roll your eyes.

So much fiction! Recall how Barack stood up to make a toast at a dinner during his first to Great Britain. He didn't realize, according to protocol, he should wait until AFTER "God Save the Queen" was played!! He stood there, with his nose in the air, and continued yapping. Such an embarrassment. Not to mention how his wife, with the huge chip on her shoulder, pawed the Queen, as photos were being taken. Again, protocol doesn't apply to the entitled.

Another lefty piece by a left paper about how the Queen just loved lefties. These pieces are numerous and redundant, never have a shred of evidence, and are written by staff, who have never left their living rooms.

Oh, please. His gift to her was an iPod of his own speeches and his “wife” pawed the queen. Yeah, some special relationship.

Don't know how true this is, but I've read Barack said the highlight of his presidency was meeting the Queen. And get this, Michelle refused to go on Markles pod thingie because she 'loves' the Queen. I do know they did not invite Markle to Barack's big birthday bash last year. Other than that, they are two worthless individuals.

I’m sure the Queen wasn’t fooled. She could smell shite from a mile away.

As usual classless dupes like the Obamas mistake politesse for affection. My guess is the Queen could smell these phony mediocrities 3000 miles away.

I’ll bet the article was written by Barry’s PR team and sent to a friendly journal for publication. Wasn’t Barry the one who removed Winston Churchill’s bust from the Oval Office. The whole article is the leftist media carrying on the legacy of King Barry.

Barack carried a grudge against the British, who jailed his grandfather, a Kenyan Mau Mau leader.

Everyone's correct. QE2 had never heard anything until she received that iPod of the One's speeches, none of which he wrote. After that, she was his, lock, stock and smoking Crown. Ah-huh. At least she's gone to heaven. Others won't.

Yeah Right...The Obama's had a "special relationship" with the nation that colonized Kenya, the land of his beloved "father." Mau Mau Uprising's anyone?
As to the bust of Churchill...According to an article in TIME Magazine on April 22, 2016 "Obama confirmed that he had in fact removed the bust from the office to make way for one of Martin Luther King. “There’s only so many busts you can have before it starts looking a little cluttered in there,” he said."
The Obama's don't even have a "special relationship" with each other.

I'm going to be sick; wish I had never read this. The Queen doesn't strike me as the fawning type, so I'm skeptical. That the beastly Markle thing was mentioned makes me more so.

Little 0bie hated the British Empire - - and he made it very obvious. Why would a gentle, intelligent woman like Queen Elizabeth - - be taken in by an utter fraud like him?

My BS radar just hit 100. QEII did not like Barry. He sent back the bust of Churchill when he became POTUS and QEII was not about to have any “special relationship” with him unless it was to disdain him. Of course, she was too much of a lady to show it, but rest assured, she didn’t like him.

Call me skepticle. Was not it Barack Obama who send back the bust of Winston Circhill to Great Britain? It had been in the oval office for many presidential terms until Obama was elected.
And, didn't Obama gift QEII with recordings of his own speeches?
I do not believe this article and its claims of some sort of raport between Queen Elizabeth and Barack Obama.

was the Queen looking at his Kenyan or his American profile in developing said " ... special relationship ... "?
= of course this is made up B-S to make comrade obama more appealing to those who don't know of his communist influenced past

The author couldn't tell the difference. It was the Queen Elizabeth Cruise Liner that Doorknob Hussein had a special relationship.

Remember, he hates the colonizers. QE II represented everything, EVERYTHING he hates. It was the monarchies of Europe that gave rise to western slavery and slave trade. The United States simply inherited a system that was already in place. There is no truth at all to a special relationship unless it's to secretly destroy the British way of life.

Mr. Quinn names the wrong royal who was infatuated with the Obamas. That would be the new king and his sons. They love the Obamas. I doubt the Queen did anything more than tolerate the Obamas along with Moochie's disrespect. Now Donald Trump is the president she really enjoyed immensely. The fact that Chuck looked green around the gills during that banquet is proof of that. He doesn't like our real president at all.

What is this so called 'writer' imbibing? I guess someone might want to read his fiction! There is no one on this planet who 'fell in love' with that bobbing empty head, not even that so called 'wife'. Just pass the barf bags!

Well, now isn’t this a surprise?! The queen has passed away so now Bambi can tell the world how much she loved him. What a steaming pile of horse manure.

The only way you can tell that he or the Mooch didn't write this is that it contains more than one-syllable words.

We get so tired of hearing the media prop up this empty suit of a former President. We know the Cambridges were enamored with the Obamas BUT I will never believe the Queen admired him. She kindly saved Michelle’s rear end when she rudely broke protocol. It doesn’t mean Queen Elizabeth shared the lefty sensibilities of her family members!!

Like those cast iron black jockeys that "hold the reins" at upscale homes? That sort of a 'special relationship'?
