The recent meeting between British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and President Barack Obama struck many observers as “odd.” During the meeting itself, Obama appeared bored and uninterested. The gift of home movies that he gave Brown was considered tacky and bizarre. And after the meeting, Obama said that one of his “life-long dreams” was to meet the Queen of England.
“Those who are jumping on the President for what they consider his erratic behavior in this meeting are ignorant of several key facts,” insisted Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. “First of all, the meeting was running long. The President was anxious to not miss the tip-off of the Chicago Bulls-Charlotte Bobcats basketball game. Knowing what a big basketball fan the President is, I think you can understand his repeated glances at his watch.”
“Second, what could be more personal than a gift of home movies featuring the first Black First Family,” Gibbs continued. “There hasn’t ever been as attractive a first family. Sasha and Malia are lovable. Michelle is so stylish. And the President himself is so obviously buff and sexy. Not even the Kennedy’s measured up to the standard being set by this Administration. So, I’m sure the movies are something the Browns will always treasure.”
“Finally, as important as Mr. Brown might be, he’s not the Queen of England,” Gibbs pointed out. “He’s only the head-of-government. Elizabeth is head-of-state for the UK, just like President Obama is for the United States. So, it’s only natural that the President would show a modicum of courtesy for Brown while biding his time for the later, more important meeting with the Queen.”
To Gibbs: That is a load of steaming ()*&())_.
Obama’s life is #1. Everything else is a distraction... Got it.
“...The President was anxious to not miss the tip-off of the Chicago Bulls-Charlotte Bobcats basketball game...”
What a f****** moron Gibbs is. Ever hear of TiVo, Dude? I cannot believe he is press secretary - it projects an image of gleeful incompetence.
Satire, right?
Nobody could be that stupid to offer up such an explanation.
I needed a good laugh. Thanks!
I would not be at all surprised if HRM had to delay meeting with the Obamateur. Put it off again and again because of pressing affairs of state.
Political excuses for inexcusable behavior.
Hard to tell when it’s satire with this idiot...
hahahahaha...a joke i know but probably close to the truth...LOL
Not very witty, this.
THIS IS NOT SATIRE!!!!! IT’S THE GOD’S HONEST TRUTH!!
PATHETIC!! ZERO IS PATHETIC!!
Funny indeed, but if any other head of states receives a better welcome what does that say about our relationship with the UK?
Hard to tell when it’s satire with this idiot...
Dittoes
...unfortunately
He Lost His Teleprompter?????
I always wondered what it would be like when the Queen entertained the first black American President. In that vein, I tended to picture the President as Richard Pryor. What a disappointment the reality has turned out to be.
Sadly, it needs a /sarc warning......
Hey Gibbs! If you believe this pile of shovel ready, eat it!
