President and Mrs. Obama's meeting with the Queen got people talking. But the two people most excited about it weren't Barack and Michelle-- they were Sasha and Malia. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday "I think it was a real treat to call back and tell his kids that he'd met the Queen...they had been talking about it leading up to it. So I think they were-- this was something that genuinely interested them."

But what about the president's read on the Queen? "The president remarked to me this morning that her sensibility sort of reminded him a bit of his grandmother, only with a much bigger house," said Gibbs.
