    Yes. It's good thing Obama fixed the great recession, as I stated. That IS one of his greatest and biggest legacies (possibly the one which will be remembered most), And Trump can't really undo that.

    I do not know if I would call Bush policies fixing the economy an obama legacy but whatever. Perhaps Prince Harry wants to give obama a chauffeured tour of the British tunnels while he is there.

    Nah. While he does take some credit (as well as for creating the mess) It objectively wasn't all Bush nor seen as his "fix" by economists or historians. Obama is given "Substantial" credit by economists and historians. And while Bush did start some of them, guess which administration saw and worked even those through for several years and took nearly full credit,

    Nothing you say well change the fact that is one of his great if not greatest legacies he will forever be remembered for. To alter this, you will need to create a Flux Capacitor.

    Trump decided on America First and used it as a campaign slogan only. The Brits are giving him his wish. Personally, I would have invited DJT to my wedding. IDK. I could imagine the hysterical paranoia of the man must make for SOME good conversation, plus he is a decent human being when not on Twitter or in the WH.

    The Queen does a great deal of boring work and avoids politics. You really think some fat, spoilt buffoon would be better? Weird!

    Um, because they like Prince Harry and are friends and were invited? I don't think any of these people need more publicity in their lives. LOL, nobody on the planet can 'upstage' a royal wedding.

    Like everyone else here, the couple like and respect President Obama and are contemptuous, doubtless, of the unelected Trump regime.

    Now, now, you must be patient. Keep in mind that Watergate took over a year.

    Didn't Obama give the Queen an mp3 player with nothing but his speeches loaded? Now that's class!

    I'm thinking Obama will grace the Royals with a poster of his critically acclaimed 'official portrait '. I expect nothing less. You?

    Yeah, I’m certain the DVD box set coded only for the US will be a big hit along with an iPod with some of his speeches on it as well as pics of himself(hope they don’t have an iPod too!)

    Right...the same Obama that gave the Prime Minister a box set of 25 classic American films? Sure hope Mel Gibsons "the Patriot" was included.

    Right up there with the 'reset' button that didn't translate to reset.

    Thoughtless.

    Republicans don't hate the British, especially with Brexit.

    But the Brits do favor American socialists. And a president that apologizes for America will be loved.

    By and large, you make good films. Your latest President is not worth twopence.

    Obama did his best to expand government and cut back on our freedom. That's why the British like him.

    This always annoys me about Americans. You kicked the English out of the Americas for representation, and hated George the third.

    Yet you love our monarchy today.

    Please take the ba$****$. My English half don't want them.

    For the most part, yeah I think so too. One could argue that quality is slipping now as everything tends to be a remake or sequel of something already done. Safe proven stuff.

    I'd definitely grab something like that for a buddy, but not sure I'd give that to a PM or other head of state.
