The movies Obama gave (which it has been discovered that Brown donated to charity...LOL I'm sure a British thrift store could pull in enough to buy some tea with the proceeds. Not enough for crumpets, but enough for the tea...
A part of me wishes the Brits had sent the DVD's back to Amazon.com and had the check forwarded to the White House with a note explaining that we must need the money more than they do...

Prime Minister Brown should be thankful these two didn't give him a gift certificate to Burger King, the highest prize where Michelle comes from, you know what I'm talking about?!

Star Wars on DVD. Hmm. I think anyone over 40 who hasn’t seen it yet has no interest in it.

I have a DVD player that plays both NTSC and PAL. I found it online and it wasn’t that expensive.

Even more appropriate might have been a gift of Martin Gilbert's recent addition to his classic Churchill works:
Churchill and America, published in 2005.

Wonder if they included Mel Gibson's “The Patriot” and “Braveheart”?
To: pissant
Disgusting...Insulting...And totally ON PURPOSE.
Seems PBO wants to make nicer with the Taliban and Syria than he does with Great Britain and Israel....

I hope he checked to see that these were PAL versions,
or have no region restrictions.
The European DVD players are a different coding than ours, unless they have changed in the last several years.
It would be that much more insulting if he gave him something that doesn’t even work
