The President and the Black Bobby!

This picture has been doing the rounds on the interent and it eventually reached me! I love the picture and since I love all things Obama its been added to my blog.

The Royal policemen that stand outside number 10 are not supposed to shake hands with visiters. The black royal cop never imagined in his wildest dream that he would usher a black American president into the British corridors of power."

I still remember when I saw him on his first visit as President to the UK, how thrilled and exited I was. That experiance is one of my most treasured memories.

President Obama First London Visit

Last was a night where my dream came true. I saw and heard President Obama make his first speech in the UK.


My friend Damon asked me if I wanted to go and any one who knows me would know that I am a big Obama fan.


The audience was mainly workers from the US Embassy in London and people who worked at the Democrats aboard.


Any how it was simply brilliant and to see and hear the President speak live and in person was something that I thought I would never do. So dreams can come true.


The President spoke about how happy he was to be in London and that appreciated the good work that the employees of the US Embassy has done to promote US interest abroad. He also spoke about the close connection the US has with the UK in terms of its history, language and ideals. He ended with the need to focus on the challenges ahead and the need to work together and make bold moves to solve the problems the world is facing.


Below are some pictures and a short video clip that I took of the evening.


Enjoy :)
