President Obama meets the Queen
At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth, US President Barrack Obama
turned to the Queen and said, "As I'm the President, I'm thinking
of changing how my great country is referred to, and I'm thinking that
it should be a Kingdom."
The Queen replied, "I'm sorry Mr. Obama, but to be a Kingdom, you have
to have a King in charge - and you're not a King."
Obama thought a while and then said: "How about a Principality then?"
To which the Queen replied, "Again, to be a Principality you have to
be a Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr. Obama."
Obama thought long and hard and came up with "How about an Empire then?"
The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied, "Sorry again, Mr.
Obama, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge - and you
are not an Emperor."
Before Obama could utter another word, the Queen said, "I think you're
doing quite nicely as a Country."
