I had to laugh at this, honestly how Ghetto can you get?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/06/obamas-blockbuster-gift-brown-dvds/
I wonder what he got him other than those few mentioned? I hope it was like Braveheart and The Patriot haha.
Maybe Noctorius? haha. Anyone else got any ideas what movies he mighta got him?
Wow... I wonder if he's even a good tipper?
This is classic. I hear stories on America's financial downfall, but this is taking the cake. I imagine this will become a great punchline for many jokes.
I wonder if he topped it off while taking the man to McDonalds.. making sure that lunch was on "The O" but he can only choos from the dollar menu haha.
Classic.
I'm starting to like Obama.. he's creating better jokes than Bush was so far.
What is funny is on CNN they said that they both exchanged presents of good will and culture. They went into this elaborate rant on the British dudes gifts, but completely skipped Obama's. Now I know why.
Gordon Brown should retaliate with a gift card to The Colonol's or something.

haha, this hasn't been reported here from what i can tell
the uk press are usually so jumpy when it comes to any impact on the USA-UK relationship, seeing as hanging onto the usa coattails is all we've got going for us at the moment apparently

the competence, and even the democracy of the present uk brown governement is very much in question at the moment
perhaps dvd's are generous considering how long Brown (Tony Blair was leader when Labour won the last election, not Brown) and his pal Lord Mandelson (not elected at all, but a key decision maker for the governement) can keep up their antics

Not shocking. While the US may have had some class an elegance in the past long gone are the days of Jackie O, and blue blooded presidents. We are a nation of upstarts (not necesarilly a bad thing) and not as "aware" of the history and goings on of other countries (not a good thing). Hopefully Obama will learn a lesson from this.
When my husband and daughter travelled to England last October he was shocked by two things. How friendly the British were towards them, and their fascination with our election. He felt the people he met knew more about our politics than the average American.

- You don't regift DVDs that don't play in the Prime Ministers Country.
- And you don't snag some crap out of the Gift shop and give it to the prime ministers children.
Most of all you don't give back the Bust of Winston Churchill (that was on loan to the Oval Office) without them asking for it back or making prior arrangements. Not enough oil in Brittain to stay friendly with?

Europeans in general have a much better grasp of the world politics than the more actively interested US person. It's partly arrogance on our part, partly ignorance. Arrogance through our nation being (nearly) as large as Europe, and knowing that so many other nations depend on us, not the other way around. Ignorance through apathy, since we don't care enough to worry about our "neighbors" other than Mexico, which we generally dislike and would like to go away, and Canada, which is a mini-US (other than Quebec, which we treat like Mexico). The other nations don't have much that we really need, so they don't interest us.
hell, most US citizens don't really understand the different political systems for other countries, barely even understanding our own. It's sad and pathetic at the same time.

I really don't see why a gift to the Queen matters to anyone other than the Queen. I'm willing to bet the old bag would just say, "Oh, how nice!" at just about any gift given to her, and then put it behind some glass display case. I'm not better or worse off because of it, and the only way I would be is if Obama had said, "Surprise! DNA tests proved Altra_Shadowstalker is in your bloodline. Congratulations, Queen Gramum!" Yes, the only way I would care is if Obama actually gave the Queen Mum the gift of knowing a long-lost relative was out there ready to mooch at the Crown's teat.
Then my interest would be piqued.

he could have just taken a crap on a paper plate for her and our media would have swooned over such a thoughtful, intellectual and articulate gift he had given. course if he didnt have a teleprompter at the time he might have just missed the plate part and crapped on the floor.

Yeah, his teleprompter really pisses me off. Why can't we have an intelligent president for once? When a president reads off a screen it disgraces this country in the eyes of the world. Can't you hear all his worldwide critics? North Korea obviously doesn't respect the guy, and won't pay heed to his warning speeches. Iran was looking for a change from Obama's administration, but not this kind. So he talks fluidly, for the most part, when he's behind the podium. That doesn't mean he actually KNOWS what he's talking about. That doesn't mean his policies will accurately reflect what his golden tongue espouses. It's just a ploy to get the ignorant left behind his corrupt views. If only Obama could realize this before its too late and remove the teleprompter, this country would be back on track and ready to focus on real issues in no time.

they would have to agree on whats best for humanity first and that will never happen with the likes of iran,north korea and china not to mention any number of "countries" in africa. imo america needs to get back to working towards whats best for our country. we should be an example of how governments should be organized and ran... government of the people for the people. until we get back to those principles which made us great things are going to continue to spiral out of control. our government is supposed to defend, perserve and protect the constitution. that means providing defense for the common good and allowing our citizens life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. nowhere in the constitution does it say our government owes us food, housing and medical care.

why is it egocentric to pull together as a nation and work toward goals that are in our common interest?
why do we have to continually put other nations and peoples interest over those of our own people?
i heard on the radio earlier this week that our own president changed his plans and didnt visit the cemetery at omaha beach because the white house was afraid it might offend the germans if he did. WTF??!?! last time i looked the current german government didnt approve of the Nazi Regime that we fought in WWII so wtf would it offend them if he stopped to pay tribute to the 9,000 men and women that are buried there that helped keep Europe free? even if it would offend them WHO THE FOCK CARES??? paying tribute to our fallen service men and women shouldnt be something we need permission from other countries to do EVER!!!!
im not saying we should go out of our way to piss other countries off but imo its high time we started worrying more about what is best for us than whats best for everyone else in the world because frankly from what i have seen in most other countries, ill take what we have as a way of life over just about any other out there!

If everyone worries about what is best for them, then things that are in the common good of all people will not be accomplished because the interests of the 1 always come first. Think of the world as a playground. It helps to place nice with the other children so that you can build bigger and better sandcastles. It's a simple economic lesson. Working towards the greater good, the common weal, is always more economically efficient for all parties concerned than the one working independently, although it may not seem like it at the time.

Well, if Michael Savage says it, it must be true.
Or, you know, we would have had to go out of our way to placate the French and ignore the Brits and Germans requests. It's a shame no one at home was watching for the little nuance so they could meltdown about it later.
