Description | President Barack Obama’s appearance on the BBC’s “Andrew Marr Show” Sunday gave the president a chance to discuss a number of the world’s trouble spots — Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria, among others — and to express admiration for the British royal family.
“I think,” the president said, “what the Queen symbolizes — not just to Great Britain but to the entire commonwealth and obviously the entire world — is the best of England. And we’re very proud of her.”
The president was to depart late Sunday for a European trip to Ireland, England, France and Poland, with a stop at the G-8 summit incorporated into his visit to France. He is to meet with, among others, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister David Cameron and former Polish President Lech Walesa. |
