The most popular Polish websites (wp.pl and onet.pl) express the opinion about President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. They note mistake during G-20 meeting in London. The first small was by the part of the first lady of U.S.A., Michelle, who embraced the British Queen, Elizabeth II. The Diplomatic Protocol Rule is to shake hands. Michelle Obama broke this diplomatic rule by embracing the British Queen. Then a small mistake was made by Barack Obama. The President of the United States approached the king of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah, and then returned him the deep bow. The king himself did not bow back. After a little moment President Obama shock handle with Abdullah.
Specialists from the official record decided that the behavior of the American President had been surprising, because the breaking of rules of diplomacy could offend the famous conservatism of Arabs. Fortunately, the break of rules by the Obama Family caused no repercussions.
It is not the first time that President Obama made some ‘diplomatic mistake’. A few weeks ago, during his visit in England and he gave DVD to Gordon Brown, Prime Minister in UK. There were a lot of critics about this gift. (See Fox New Channel on the end).
During the meeting of G-20 in London with British Queen Elizabeth II, President Obama and his wife gave her an iPod gift. And again, many critiques called President of U.S.A. as Santa Claus…
I agree with the opinion that maybe iPod is not only the best gift we can offer, but we need to see it as a symbol of changes. This revolutionary ‘small electronic device’ changes the mentality of people’s life. The movies on DVD change our life too, bringing good quality and comfort to our personal life.
All gifts should be sent and received with symbolical meanings. If you give your child one time $10 and another time $100, it doesn’t mean that the second time you love your child more… The symbolic meaning is coming from the heart, but there is much more than diplomatic rules. What do you think?
