In addition to an IPOD (see source for list of items on it, then hang your head in shame for America), there was this:

Britain's Press Association reports that the Royal couple gave the Obamas "a silver-framed, signed photograph of themselves."

It’s not dissing. I have several metal disks in my pocket, each with the likeness of the Queen embossed in bas-relief. These are valuable things anywhere in the Commonwealth.

The Queen dissed Obama. It's a well thought out zing. A signed picture - and I'll bet it was "signed" by the royal signing machine. In short, something mailed to school children who write to the Palace...

I'll bet the frame's not solid silver - probably "plate" over a base metal - it wouldn't be worth the postage to send it back.

I think they should have given the Obama’s a CD collection of Prince Charles greatest hits!

If I were 0bama, I would get her one of
those Lady Di snow globes with the crashed
Mercedes and when you shake it car parts
fly about like snowflakes.

But then, I’m a classless classist.

I can’t believe that SOMEONE in the professional White House staff or even at the State Department doesn’t have some protocol experience in matters like this. That the I-pod was filled with Obama speeches also shows arrogance and narcissism.

Queen Elizabeth did not diss Obama. She is too much of a lady to do that. This is a gift that she gives many visiting dignitaries.
