Obama gives lousy gift, pisses off British Prime Minister

It just shows how painfully shallow our 44th President truly is. God Help Us!

[Always Right]

Maybe Obama signed the Prime Minister up for the Columbia House DVD club....now the Prime Minister will receive one DVD a month and if he doesn’t return it will be charged $29.99 for it....

God helps those who help themselves, so let’s get rid of his Congress support in two years.

Very classy dude that obammma wow! What next, a book of discount tickets to sea world.

I have not heard anyone address this point yet - copyrighted DVDs have a region code that prevents them from being played on DVDs outside their region. The US code is "1" while in the UK it is "2".

Obama's "gift" won't even work on Prime Minister Brown's DVD player!

Hopefully at least “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” was included, but seriously doubtful. I can picture it that morning, “Quick, send someone out the Walmart to get something for that British fool!”.

[two23]

How embarrassing.
He’s a fool.

DVD’s to Britian. 900 Million to Hamas.

That’s the plan, if the GOP will just stay with the base. Somehow I think the GOP will blow it.

I’m ashamed of our tacky President. What was he thinking? Then his wife picks up toys from the White House gift shop for the children? Stunningly rude.

[paulycy]

"Here you go kids...I got somethin' for ya!"

[GOPJ]

Prime Minister Brown has already “donated” the DVD’s to charity. He should have sent them back to amazon.com and had the check forwarded to the Obamas with a message saying, “you must need the money more than we do”...

[edzo4]

hmm I wonder what DVD's?

[laotzu]

Aren’t American DVDs of a different format than those in Britain? I doubt they will even work on his player.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I’m surprised it wasn’t a nickle bag.

[raptor29]

Well, that’s only because the “Sham-Wow” order didn’t arrive in time......

[freeplancer]

Brown already gave the DVDs to charity. Seriously.

Hopefully at least “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” was included...

I watched that movie again recently. Seeing the unabashed patriotism on the boys portrayed in the movie was genuinely heartbreaking. It is impossible to imagine a movie today portraying that kind of devotion to our founding fathers much less or country unless it was intended for laughs.
