Now that I really don't understand.
Well here you're not getting it. The queen is a traditional monarch while Obama is an eloquent politician. A traditionalist may weigh protocol more important than anything else much like the Catholic church emphasizing ritual over spirituality. But a politician would weigh people more important than any protocol. The band or whoever that started that hymn is the one to be blamed however because it started while Obama was still speaking and thus it was a rude interruption. it's not like he was going to start a long speech or anything. The conclusion? British monarch function are rigid and inflexible the opposite of most politician character that put people first than protocol when dealing in their business. Why? because politicians need to deal with pressing issues everyday that make them to have to deal with people in order to solve them. That is if they are real politicians and not some sorry ass dictators who rely on money, terror, torture, violence and assassinations.
