Call Michelle Obama the ultimate guitar hero.
The American First Lady presented French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy with a practical – and very rock 'n' roll – gift: an acoustic Gibson guitar.

Who paid for said Guitar? The OBAMAWITCH or the taxpayer?
Mommy whats a strap on?
It could have been Guitar hero instead
I don’t know ... it sure seems like a cool gift.
[Better than VDs, no?].
If my car ever ran out of gas man Michell sure could push it to a gas station for me
Gibsons are made in Nashville, and the Epiphones are made overseas, mainly China now. Supposedly, Epiphones are made from the same working drawings as the Gibsons.
It's 'Chelle's grateful relief for the lady not going kissy-face on her hubby.
Funny.
Vintage Gibson Banjo’s can go up into the thousands. Saw one once that cost 4500.00 1923..style A and sold.. don’t remember the rest of the signature.
I've wanted a Gibson guitar all my life. But I could never afford to buy one. Not even from a second hand store.
Oh, wait a minute. I did just buy one. With my tax dollars!
Thank You Mrs obama! That salt in my wound felt really good.
Probably a very nice Gibson. I had a beautiful one and sold it to pay for my last semester of college.
Better that she would have given Carli this:

Wonder what expensive presents the O’s have given our enemies?
Suck up to the French and snub the British, is there a message here?
I was ready to pounce to until I read that she is getting ready to record her fourth album and I guess could use a guitar while producing it. The DVDs were the worst yet.
Who paid for said Guitar? The OBAMAWITCH or the taxpayer?
We do. But so far they have been spending little on these gifs so I suppose we should be greatful for that at least. Hey trying to get something positive out of this.
Should have bought her a Martin...
Darn where did that go ?
