Top 10 gift-giving excuses from Barack Obama:
10. What’s wrong with 25 DVDs as a gift? He thought they were great before he re-gifted them.
9. The Shamwow! wouldn’t have been delivered in time.
8. DVDs can be a vital public policy tool. The Titanic was the inspiration for Obama’s economic policy.
7. The White House gift shop was all out of Abe Lincoln beards.
6. It was a fiscally responsible gift. By giving the British Prime Minister 25 DVDs, he is saving their nation from potential late fees from Blockbuster.
5. Rush Limbaugh told him DVDs would be an appropriate gift.
4. They were in that socially awkward stage of their relationship. Is it too soon for roses and jewelry? Would lingerie be too presumptuous? Would a sweater say “I’m your ally, but not in that way?”
3. The President was caught off guard. He thought Brown, Putin, Ahmadinejad, Castro, and Kim Jong Il all agreed to draw names instead of buying a gift for everyone.
2. England is a long way away. Maybe ET and Star Wars haven’t made it to their theaters yet.
1. Maybe the UK should get the hint that Obama is just not that into them.

I sense an epidemic of LISTmania.
They were probably ripped from the original DVDs, or bit torrented from piratebay.org, burned to cheapie blank DVDs, and then stuck in those tissue paper cheapie plastic CD covers and stuck in an old kleenex box!!
I’m embarrassed for the HolyO. Truly. What WILL the world think about his lack of etiquette-ness?!?
You mean David Letterman didnt write this?
Wonder why...
Did I miss something?
He didn’t REALLY, did he?
Surely a President of the United States, the leader of the free world, the CEO of the most powerful nation that ever existed would be able to come up with a gift on par with the one of great personal and historical significance he was given by our closest ally? Of course, and nothing memorializes the friendship of the United States and the United Kingdom, celebrating a history of fighting evil together for the greater good of the world, than a 15 dollar set of dvds from the local bargain barn.
NoBama is such a klass akt. BTW, isn’t Tuesday “party eve”?
So far in his brief tenure as our Chief Wealth Destroyer, Obama and his staff of accomplished nitwits have managed to make enough gaffes for tons of jokes. His suckups in the entertainment industry will not take their blinders off.
I’m afraid so.
