So he gave him an ornamental penholder hand-carved from the timbers of a Victorian anti-slave ship once called the HMS President.

Brown had a big problem. What do you get for the guy who's stolen everything?

No excuse for this. The protocol and customs for this sort of thing is long established, and there are plenty of bureaucrats around who know what should be done. Or maybe this was all deliberate a deliberate slight as some have suggested.

He'll probably call the Queen Lizzie.

How about a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey? With their name on it.

A more honest gift would have been a boxed set of “The Greatest Sermons of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright”, straight from the gift shop of the Trinity United Church of Christ.

"No. He’s a racist. He’s breaking it off in Brown for the slights the Crown made against his Kenyan ancestors. Not kidding. He’s putting his race and his ego ahead of the country.

Now he wants to meet with the Queen of England.

We are getting the government we deserve.

I disagree; we are not to blame for their penchant to practice voter fraud, employ ACORN style organizations, union thuggery and suck up with Hollywood and benefit from corrupt/foreign campaign contributions. We would have to lower our standards and put ourselves on the other side of the law and God to defeat the monster that the democrat communist party has become.

At least he didn't give him "The Patriot."

And Michelle gets two Marine One chopper models from the White House Gift Shop to send to the Browns' kids while the Browns give The Little Zeroes outfits and sets of books about to be published.

Angier Biddle Duke must be spinning like a top in his grave.

I doubt that Obama himself picked this out. Who really did this? But still, it looks quite bad on him. Just thinking...

What a fool. Insult our strongest friend by acting crass. Some day soon we may need England’s help. Obama may not like England for some reason (Imperialism in his native Kenya maybe)but he should be smart enough to know the Brits are a very formal people who love the small things and hate being treated poorly. This only proves Obama is a president in training—lets hope he learns his job before the nation crumbles around him.

We are guilty for not insisting on prosecution of ACORN, voter fraud, et. al. Reason why it hasn’t been prosecuted is that our side is likely guilty of it too.

Since both sides are guilty, nobody wants to bring it up, and the result is that your vote doesn’t count.

Everyone drops it after the election is done.

This is a deliberate slap at our history. To Obama, England is not the Motherland, Africa is. Look at the website of Rev. Wright’s church.

—sigh-—I tried to maintain some positive composure and even lowered myself to the level of whining-finger-pointing-—you’re right—sadly so, you are right.

I’m not happy about being right either.

The issue here is that BOTH parties have cocked this thing up. BOTH.

The democrats are coming around to that sort of thinking, and you are starting to see it - Cramer, WSJ, NYT, NBC. It’s happening. The remorse is setting in.

Our side of the aisle tried to kill the H1-B visa program today. I get why that’s an issue for folks right now, but this is NOT the time to split that hair right now. Border security - absolutely. Getting the best minds you can get in the world? We’ve ALWAYS been about doing that.

Operation Paperclip, Einstein, Tesla, and the list goes on. We WANT the best minds here regardless of where they started. The Chinese you have to watch more closely than others, but it still stands.

Stopping the flow of ditch diggers? Absolutely. Stopping the flow of innovators? No way.

But that’s the GOP.

Hopefully all the DVD’s were episodes of Barney the purple dinosaur.

The PM is an absolute boob. It is tempting, just to tweak noses, but it would not be appreciated.
