Barack Obama’s fond memories of HM Queen Elizabeth II | BBC

[@A_Few_Thoughts]

I'm always so impressed with how well spoken Barack Obama is. He speaks with intelligence, authenticity, graciousness, insight, and always with a touch of humor.

[@stevencramsie9172]

He has a degree in constitutional law from Harvard and was President of the United States. Why are you surprised?

[@A_Few_Thoughts]

@@stevencramsie9172 I'm not surprised, but I'd say even with those degrees, I find him particularly eloquent when speaking.

As an American, the only thing I can think of whenever I think of the Queen is - what a life. What an incredible life she lived for the people of the United Kingdom. She didn't belong to us but know we admired her from afar.

Mr President, thank you for sharing your memories of our late Queen. Thanks, from Australia 🇦🇺

[@ginnyhager4274]

This is how a gentleman pays tribute to a special woman and queen!

[@normadesmond6017]

Obama himself gave the Queen a great present. Her Majesty collected things of her father, who died very young and whom she loved very much. Obama found letters of him in the White House archives written to Roosevelt during WW2. He gave them to her. I read somewhere that when he did this and she saw her fathers handwriting she kept silent for quit a bit, and then she said: "We are very grateful for this". Oh my - how touching.

My grandmother was the same age as the Queen and to her dying day her father was always 'daddy'. I know some have a poor relationship with their parents and I grieve for them because that relationship is irreplaceable. I can imagine that was quite special for Her Majesty.

As an Australian, I understand the protocols involved in being around the Royals. Despite the fact that America was founded on a rejection of the English Monarchy, Presidents have always respected and observed those protocols (except for those dark days of the T***p era). While Barack here talks in a casual manner of his times meeting with Her Majesty, he does it in a very respectful manner.

I'm British. It's no surprise to me that my Queen, Elizabeth II, admired and respected President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The Obamas treated our monarch with respect, and in turn, our Queen recognised how fundamentally kind and intelligent the Obamas were. For the Queen to accept Michelle Obama's hand on her back is testament enough. Queen Elizabeth II respected the Obamas as equals and as decent human beings. President Obama's tribute to her here is just perfect. I dread to think how his disgusting successor would refer to Her Majesty's legacy.
