The British have begun to worry about the “special relationship” in the Anglosphere since the election of Barack Obama. First, the visit from Gordon Brown failed to get the usual Rose Garden joint-presser treatment from the White House this week. Now the Daily Mail reports that Obama cheaped out on the traditional gift exchange, rustling up some DVDs in exchange for a thoughtful gift from Brown:

OMG! Yes, I just saw other postings from UK Papers.
Barack Mugabe rides again.
25 classic American films on DVD
Aren’t the classic (old) DVD’s the one’s in the $2.99 bin at Kroger?
The Messiah didn’t know there would be an exchange of gifts.
He had to send Joe Biden to WalMart at the last minute, and this is the best he could come up with.
Y’all will get a kick out of this. I told my kids about this just now. My older child says, “Gee thanks, I’ll be able to watch those in all my SPARE TIME as Prime Minister.” My 6 year old just sighed a big sigh, shook his head and said, “Sometimes I think I could do a better job as President.” I kid you not!!!
Actually, I don’t doubt that he could do a better job.
To be fair, though not to defend Obama, didn’t GWB give PM Brown a brown leather fur trimmed bomber jacket with Camp David patches or some such? Not better really, I would think.
This is a deliberate slap at America’s history. For the Obamas, England is not the Motherland. Africa is.
Ah, Africa. That wondrous land that spawned democracy, and the rule of law, and all the institutions that have created freedom and prosperity for generations of mankind.
this is one tacky family... once he won the presidency, he and his first lady should have taken an etiquette class specifically designed for anyone who is stepping into the office of President of the US...
They are Grifters from Chicago, they are only used to taking, NOT giving.
Seriously. Here is a snippet from the website of Obama’s church in Chicago: “We are an African people, and remain ‘true to our native land,’ the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”
Brown's mistake doesn't give Obama the right to humiliate our closet ally.
A $1000 jacket with patches from the President’s official camp not better than an $100 set of DVD’s?
This is just the Kenyan’s thinly veiled protest of former British Colonial Rule.
Next time there is trouble in the world an 0bambi cries out for help, the Brits can send the helicopters back and call it air support! What the world calls karma...
When my wife and I heard this on RUSH she remarked: "Obama has NO CLASS at all". The truth is the ONLY person he is concerned about is HIMSELF!
Obama: "commander and CHEAP"
25 dvd’s?
What, was Costco all out of Red Lobster gift cards? ;)

(disclaimer: I shop at Costco and enjoy Red Lobster.)
Anyone know the list of movies?
My guess:
“I’m Gonna Git You, Sucka”
“Malcom X”
“The Color Purple”
“The Nutty Professor” (Eddie Murphy’s)
“Soul Sister”
“Men in Black”
Just wow!
