The Brit press go on about the temerity of Mrs Obam's in giving such a thoughtless gift to the Brown children. it's illbred to criticize what someone gives you as a gift, i realize, but how many of us spend a great deal of time making/buying the perfect gift for someone and then get something that someone picked up at the counter of the drugstore in return? it isn't Michelle's fault so much as her people's fault for not showing more thought and care in what to give a visiting dignitary. But then again, NO ONE over there seems to know how to act!

There was also the brouhaha about the Brown snub in not allowing the joint press conference that was a tradition with the Bush White House. Their handlers aren’t very good at their jobs. A+ for you.

I don't think you can blame all black people. ;-)
