The G-20 Summit consumed American Morning viewers, who weighed in on topics relating to the G-20 protests, the President and Mrs. Obama’s visit with Queen Elizabeth II, and the repercussions of the Summit. The issue of royal protocol had some confused and intrigued about the “hug” between Mrs. Obama and the Queen, while others felt the topic was irrelevant.
- Denisha: As I was watching AM this morning around 7, I found myself annoyed that the newscasters were laughing and joking about how stupid the protesters were (which one admittedly was, trying to head butt a bank window). My annoyance stemmed from actually wanting to hear the NEWS about why people were protesting. I tune in to be informed about what's happening around the world and during the G-20 summit, not to hear witty banter about the stupidity of some protesters. As of now I still have no idea why those people were protesting.
- Anonymous: Is this G-20 summit about the G-20 or Mrs. Obama? She isn't running the U.S. I want to hear more about what’s going on, than how popular she is in London and the 1st Women’s Club.
How do you feel about CNN’s coverage of the G-20 Summit? Are we providing the right balance between serious topics and human interest stories? What stories would you like us to cover that you haven’t seen? Let us know your ideas.
Viewers were furious with Barney Frank’s answers during his interview with John Roberts:
- Derrick: I now understand why Conservative Republicans show no love for Barney Frank. His arrogance this morning, reminded me of Congress voting for a fifty percent pay raise in 1988. In order to structure their raise, Congress restructured all service members’ retirement plans. His answer to your question was defensive, arrogant and uninformative. In other words, "He wasted my time!"
How did you feel about the interview with Representative Frank? Were his answers “defensive, arrogant and uninformative” as Derrick noted, or did you feel he appropriately addressed the issues presented by John Roberts? What questions would you ask him if you were conducting the interview? Tell us your thoughts.

- Sammo – As a true blue Brit I can tell you that it’s about time the Queen showed she is human. Perhaps at 82 years old she’s starting to thaw. The majority of the British press think it’s great, as do the British public. God save the Queen and long live Mrs. Obama.
- Sharon – The headlines today should have read “Michelle Obama Caught in sting Operation”. Hey, the Queen clearly made the first move. LOL
- Fred – Becky Anderson’s coverage of the crowd’s interaction with the police was incredible. The suspense was high and the mood one of anticipation. The people that filled in the holes did a good job also.
- Virginia Mary Finn – I think what Mrs. Obama was showing the Queen much needed personal contact. Even the Queen needs personal contact, and I think she greatly appreciated it.
