g20

The G20 summit in London didn't suck. As Steven Pearlstein noted, Obama got most of what he wanted, the US showed flexibility in an international forum, last demonstrated some time before January 20, 2001, and hopefully the agreements will help bring about economic recovery and make another similar financial melt-down less likely.

So although not the be-all and end-all, it worked out pretty decently. And Queen Elizabeth doesn't seem to mind that Michelle Obama made a friendly gesture and touched her.
