Five hundred token grads money or status or equal opportunity placed them in college and got them through. These five hundred attendants of the pumpkin king Obama forgot to brief him and his first lady about protocol. He can not use his blackness or his Afro-ousity as an excuse. He was born in the commonwealth of nations who pay fealty to the Queen and spent time there visiting and campaigning. Possible excuse-He is like Rehoboam who split the Kingdom of Israel. He will only listen to his own counsel and the counsel of learned elders does not apply. Everyone should listen to him and he should hear nothing from no one save those in his inner circle of naiveté.

I have only an A.A. and I know, if I were ever privileged to meet the Queen of England, or of anywhere for that matter, The Queen of England First among them all and all Kings, save Jesus, I would spend My waking spare time trying to figure out what is expected of me in the meeting. I even had a hitherto secret daydream that I would somehow save the crown prince from danger and so actually get to meet the Queen.

Christians do well to learn about Royal Protocol because we worship a King and rulership is in our eternal rewards compensation plan. How can we expect some day to get what we don’t give.

The L.A. Times front page Photo tells it all. The L.A. Times has long since lost site of concepts like protocol. The L.A. Times thinks it is a pro Obama Photo. Observe the way Prince Phillip can’t believe these dullards breaking civility and decorum while Obama himself travels with an unheard of Royal retinue of 500 pur suivants. What might happen if the Queen shook hands? She could be injured by the ripped and flexed arm muscle celebrated ignoramus. It boggles the poor mind! Did she and Prince Philip chat all night about them while she soaked her aching palm in epsolm brine. You take hger hand gently in hers and pass your face over it.
