Good on him.
First American President ever to do it.
The last 3 people to speak in Westminster Hall were
The Pope
The Queen
Nelson Mandela
So yeah, good for him.
I can't imagine George Dubya in there.... :shk:
Even if he is just a politician, just a puppet.... at least he's likeable...
He's charismatic and believable and the guy can string a sentence together.... that's most welcomed after the last moron.
Nothing will change after his visit, there is no point or reason for it... it's all just buddy up and make people feel better.... Mentioning the Magna Carta and how GB was a bastion of freedom and how we shaped the world and democracy.... obviously it's all just for show.
But hey, it's nice at least.
I like Obama, good for him man.... people can see he is a decent guy and that's why he is getting the welcome and the treatment he is during his visit to The UK & Europe.
He's charming and funny and up for a laugh.... not stuffy or stuck-up or too important to have fun.

You must be one of the sheeple because u don't have a clue what's going on here. One thing I want to make clear to u is that Obama is a New World Order puppet (u said puppet too) just like the presidents before him. U think he runs America....lol Obama is just a mouthpiece.....
America is owned and run by the British Monarchy.
Likeable guy eh? Very likeable when u don't know he's conducting Genocidal murder across the Middle East.
Oh yeah he has fun alright. Him and Cameron deciding the fate of the people's of who's country they are going to invade to grab their black gold!! Now who shall we bomb first? Oh yeah Libya is on just now. NATO are busy bombing the hell out of the Libyan people. Next it will be Pakistan.
I don't understand how some people can actually like War Mongers and Murderers!!

His advisors should have constructed a speech without applaud breaks - it is not tradition for MP's and Lord's to applaud during a speech or statement.

Obviously history is not one of Obama's strong points..
