President Barack Obama met Queen Elizabeth II and presented her with an iPod that was pre-loaded with a video of the first lady’s 30-minute arm-toning routine, complete with the peppy Broadway show tunes that keep MO motivated to go for the burn. Perhaps her expectations lowered by the gift of state presented to PM Gordon Brown, the Queen didn’t exactly go all out either: She gave the Obamas the same signed portrait of herself and Prince Philip that everyone else gets.

Barak Obama went to London riding on a pony, he stuck an IPod in his cap and called it “Purple Kool-Aid”

Yes and he made a right muck of it.

[Huskrrrr]

Why not just give her a whoopee cushion as well.

That’s what he’s planning to give Kim Jong Il when they finally meet.

A big ol heart-shaped box of chocolates

If i gave my Grandma an Ipod it would either be returned to the store pronto or thrown into the junk draw never to be seen again.

With his collegiate mentality, he prbably figures he and Kim Jong Il, will smoke a few bowls together, go out for some good Korean food, and talk about how best to handle their subjects...ruler to ruler bonding.

My mother's the same age and has no idea what an iPod is...nor does she care.

If he really wanted to give her something rare or unique, he could have given her a copy of his real birth certificate.

I read somewhere that Prince Andrew had given the Queen Mum and iPod a couple of years back. But that doesn’t mean she used it.

zero looked like he had just bagged a trophy—the queen.

[WoofDog123]

are the gifts from obama to queen and vice versa listed here for real?

If so, one can bet that the signed photo she gave him was a direct response to the treatment of gordon brown, unless there is precedent for her doing this with US presidents previously.

The Queen always gives guests a photo of herself in a silver frame. W & Laura last presented Her Majesty with a sculpture by an American artist and before that letters from the National Archives from FDR to her father.

While Apple is an American company (although they had to struggle to get the name from the Beatles) the ipod itself is made in China.
