Katty Kay: My letter to Obama on his visit with the Queen

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's blind support of Bush and his war in Iraq should not be forgotten so quickly. Yes, Mr. Blair there were no weapons of mass destruction. You turned a blind eye to all cries of protests in your own country and provided hefty support for years to Bush for this false cause. President Obama now has to clean up this murderous mess. I wish him all the best.

I guess I missed the Farm and Ham thing. I know common courtesy is not as common here in the U.S. as it once was but I would like you to know that Mam is a term I use daily in conversation with the female sex, regardless of age. I still hear it often by others of my countrymen and women and wish it would become more common in future as a sign of respect for ladies of all ages.

"God save the Queen!" and all that rubbish, but really I couldn't care less with all the problems going on in the world today. Our economy is in the pits, soldiers are dying overseas, people are starving and dying of disease; now a little girl has disappeared from my community in Tracy California. "Long live the Queen!" is all fine and dandy, but I'd rather focus on more important issues, not on celebrats, and royalty who are living high and fat in a world of excess.

@ John, San Antonio

“ma’am maybe showing courtesy or respect to another in England; however, ma'am in this country defines a woman as "OLD"! All you women out there know that in this country.... Old is viewed with inept, maladroit and incapable.

John, if you find women being contemptuous toward you, I would recommend you start refraining from saying ma'am

Finally a president that will NOT embarrass us as the last one did. Hopefully we can again, join the world in unity!

I'm not too sure that we should even care whether or not the Queen approves of the Obama's. Ah....this was one of the very reasons we are here in America...........To escape the Throne..........To escape the Church..................We are Americans....We Bow to no one!

What else could President Obama give but movies: America doesn't seems to export much else but media..

So it is great to keep up relations with Powerless figureheads: but doesn't that suggest that President Obama is equally as powerless?

Is he even attempting to renegotiate or open treaty discussions?

If I didn't know any better I would think that the High levels of government are just stage acting until the budget is released to those who are controlling the script.

The state of the world: where Ma'am is the general replacement for lady: when the state of the lady no longer exists: it replaced with the general disfunction of true love: that of woman.

Dodie from Irvine, CA – Hey Dodie! Thanks for attempting to teach this 67 year old man the ways of the modern world but the way I was brought up, mam is a term of respect toward the female of our species. I have never been treated with contempt by any woman in all these years and believe me I have used the term freely. I won't call you mam since you find it insulting but don't be so sure that all women take it as a term meaning you are an old person. As I said earlier, I use it also with young girls who ask me a question. Perhaps you may try taking it in the spirit it is offered. I would think by the tone of the man's voice, you would be able to tell if it was respectful or a sign of disrespect. Anyway, nice to trade points of view with you.

The Obamas certainly represent the United States in a very classy
manner. They are good looking, and they are highly intelligent. I feel that the United States will prosper undere his leadership, as president, if the Congress will cooperate with him.

Larry the President and First Lady have exhibit the grace and humility that makes us proud to be Americans. They represent who we are and the English loves our First Lady, Michell, and so do I.
