Calling all BRITS on my F-list!

Okay, so I saw the news wrap-up of Michelle Obama and Queen Elizabeth.  The Queen first put her hand on Michelle's back, and the First Lady reciprocated.  From the reports I saw, it wasn't standard protocol, but the Queen put her arm around Mrs. Obama's back first, and she seemed happy with Mrs. Obama, and the two ladies seemed to hit it off brilliantly.

However, as expected, there are a lot of people in the United States who are determined to hate the Obamas for any reason they can find.  So, I'm seeing stuff like this:

"i dont know i though it was funny... not only did mrs o grab the queen but she shook her hand with both hands... she probity should of spent more time getting to know the customs then she did... my mom said she showed no class..."
(Please ignore the bad spelling and grammar - this guy is a regular on the military.com forums, and actually thinks he's intelligent.  He's allegedly a veteran.  I think he's a moron.)

"Stop reading the tabloids and find some common brit on the street or in the pub. [The Obamas are] the butt of the weekly jokes this week."
(This one is convinced that the British citizens think Mrs. Obama's behavior and breaches of standard protocol were shameful, and that they're mocking her.)

So, my friendly neighbourhood Brits, what do you think of Michelle Obama's encounter with the Queen?
