Obamas Meet Cloned Mini-Queen

In an unusual move prior to the current G20 Economic summit meeting in London, scientists have cloned Queen Elizabeth II in order to both confuse anarchist demonstrators and increase the real Queen's practice time for the world lawn bowling championships to be held in Rumania later this month.

The Obamas seemed initially perplexed as they stared down at the not quite fully grown Queen mum. Michelle Obama was overheard to remark that the resemblance was astounding save for the Queen's voice, which sounded like "Foghorn Leghorn whistling Amazing Grace in a wind tunnel."

"This was the best we could come up with on a moment's notice," said Sir Reginald Hyde-Lillywhite, Chief of Security and Proper Teacup Placement for the Royal Family.
