As for ya'll Americans, Obama is the best thing to happen to your country for decades, I don't understand why you can't see that. Especially next to George Bush 2.0
We're all looking in on you right now scratching our heads at why it's so close.

Although it seems that way because she doesn't use her full power, if the Queen WANTED to she could abolish parliament with one signature, she could declare over 20 different countries to go to war with one phone call, she could invade any country at the drop of a pin or retreat from any war as soon as she wanted to. She could phone any prison in the commonwealth and get them to release any inmate without question if she wanted, fuck she could get them to release all their felons and shut the prison down instantly.
She is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the world.. of course, if she wanted to be. Yeah she gets told what to do by parliament, but that's only because she allows that to happen.
#FuckYouAndYourScottishBankNotes lmaooooo na j/k since I've moved to London I've realised just how much the Queen DOES do for the country, I had a similar opinion to you beforehand.
It's common knowledge the Queen will NEVER use her full power
