That would be like records that the FBI is interested in. Of course. The timing is just too coincidental.

For Obama, that includes millions of dollars in jewels from the Saudi royal family, a surfboard from the prime minister of Australia, and several ceremonial weapons from …

Aren't those supposed to be gifts to the nation, not to be kept by the President?

The State Department’s Office of Protocol released the list of presents Tuesday that American government officials received from foreign government officials from late 2012 through 2013.

They’re not bribes. By law, Obama must turn them over to the National Archives or other institutions for storage or display. He can pay fair market value for those he wants to keep

5 U.S. Code § 7353 - Gifts to Federal employees

“Except as permitted by subsection (b), no Member of Congress or officer or employee of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch shall solicit or accept anything of value from a person—.....”

I suspect if the value is less than $25 he can accept it, so any necklaces or bracelets of string and dried polished camel dung it would probably be exempt. Otherwise, it should go to the treasury.

As far as she-who-was-named-after-an-obscure-beekeeper-from-New-Zealand it would apply as well.

snip...

“As a condition, and in consideration, of my employment in the United States Government in a position invested with the public trust, I commit myself to the following obligations, which I understand are binding on me and are enforceable under law:

“1. Lobbyist Gift Ban. I will not accept gifts from registered lobbyists or lobbying organizations for the duration of my service as an appointee. ...”

The GW Bush Presidential Library includes EVERY gift he was given by foreign dignitaries. GW considered these to be gifts to the American public.

Somehow doubt Obama will do that...

Barry should auction off the jewelry and put half toward a gun buy-back program for Chicago. The other half could put a (probably) very small dent in the National Debt that he ran up.
