Her gift is interesting. Any historians know what she typically gives to US Presidents?

Her gift is standard issue; every state visitor to the Queen receives exactly the same thing.

Of course you are right. If I wasn’t clear, I meant the Obama’s hate America.

I guess I wasn’t clear, but I still am sticking to what I meant.;)

I’m going to write a note to the Queen and voice my deepest embarassment at our president.

[KarlInOhio]

I saw on another thread that she gives that to every head of state who visits. Traditional versus tacky.

I wonder if the iPod came with a US 110 volt charger. "Phillip, send the valet out to Tesco to see if he can find a 220 volt charger."

The obamas sent a bust of Churchill to the White House???

[Billthedrill]

Could have been worse. “Here, Queenie, how’s about a brand-new Buttmaster?”

[Petronski]

ok, let’s hear suggestions for better gifts. i am interested. thanks

Something made here that is quintessentially, uniquely American (and hide the iPod inside).

It was the way you wrote it...and I've been guilty of that more than I want to admit.

Obama and Michelle are showing themselves to be nothing less than Rubbish. We'll never live them down.

I know, after reading it again, I could see how it happened. Sometimes I get a little emotional and mess up.

Oh well. What can I say? I hope that is clear.*sigh*

A Leatherman, perhaps?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Well....Tammy Bruce was right. We DO have ‘trash’ in the White Crib.

[keats5]

No, the Brits sent a bust of Churchill to the white house to some previous administration- perhaps it was Bush.

The Obamas returned it to the Brits.

[Electric Graffiti]

This can’t be true....If it is—this Kenyan Klown is deliberately flippin the bird to our closest ally. What are we to conclude with Dvds and an Ipod. It can’t just be incompetent staff at this point.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

That is correct. It was sent to Bush following 9/11. Lovely gesture at such a horrible time. Bozo sent it back signed “return to sender”.

since he now owns the company he should have given her a new Corvette.. .. jest sayin

[Krodg]

I did read it wrong. I apologize.

[Krodg]

I apologized for the misunderstanding...it’s over.

[dforest]

We are just people. No biggie. I can see how you might have mistook the post.

[Clock King]

I do blame them. I’m the same age as BO. I was raised in Chicago like Michelle, but poorer. Even I have a far better idea of how to handle protocol than they do. They are showing black people to be incompetent and unprofessional, which given their Harvard educations, they should know better. I’m really concerned about the sheer unprofessional behavior here. Even if you didn’t like the UK for some “historical reason”, you still know that you must work with people and get allies on your side. You maintain a professional work ethic and move through the tasks at hand. The Obama’s screw-ups show that neither of them have ever had to do any real work in their entire lives. They’ve been sliding by on skin color and talking, rather than producing results. I’m am deeply ashamed of them.

Why not a Slap Chop and a free Graty?!
