I wonder if Obama remembered to get the DVDs for the correct region.

OMG you are right.
If Bush had done this . . . well you know.

Obama has no class.

What did he expect?

DVDs bought in the USA are Region “1”. Can’t be played in Europe which is Region “2”. So the guy gave cheap DVDs that can’t be viewed in Europe to Gordon Brown. What a hoot.
Since he has never lived or worked in the real world like most other people, perhaps he (and the rest of his wonderful White House staff) didn’t know this!

Harvard educated?

“I’m sure this was not an intentional insult. It’s just that he’s got no class at all. It’s the best he can do.”



He does, indeed, have class and a lot of it. Unfortunately, it’s all of the extremely low variety.

“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.”


That sounds like a displayable souvenir, the kind of thing that years later would be displayed and be a conversation starter in his home, a personal connection with his glory days and his personalized gift from the ex military pilot American president.

Probably a little better than some DVDs that you hand to the kids to add to the collection down in the TV room.

I am surprised he did not give him a years subscription to the Jelly Of The Month Club.

He merely got what he deserved from one liberal to another.

Obama has the right to humiliate anyone. Whether it is “presidential,” proper, or not is another issue.

This is just the Kenyan’s thinly veiled protest of former British Colonial Rule.

More specific than that, it's a passive aggressive payback for the suppression of the Mau Mau revolt in 1952, in which a relative of the Obama clan was tortured.

Basically, we now have a tribal blood feud as the semi-official policy of the leader of the free world.

Is the Queen visiting anytime soon?

What do you think she'll get?

Ginsu knives or Chia pets?

Hair extensions?

Maybe a Bedazzler or that thing to keep her bra straps under control.

LOL.

Giving a box of DVDs is one way to avoid unpacking after the move from Chicago...

I’m just hoping that Zero at least covered the United Van Lines box with some wrapping paper or something. There is probably a Colt 45 bottle cap inside too.

I’m just speechless. Imagine the scorn that will now be heaped upon Americans vacationing in the U.K.

ugh!
