His first choice was a Chia Pet. He considered sending The Clapper, but really started to reconsider once he saw the informercial for Sham-Wow! Who wouldn’t?!

It’s true, the Ginsu knife set was int the running. It would have allowed the Prime Minister to go directly from cutting a tin can in half to slicing tomatoes ultra-thin.

Ultimately it ended up being a toss-up of a framed picture of Josef Stalin and the DVD’s. Obamma was quoted as saying about the picture, “Yes he’s one of heroes, but look - they spelled his name wrong!”

Our President is cheap. At LEAST he could have gotten a set of RIMMS for Brown’s ride.

Isn’t that what we keep hearing from the lapdogs?

Yeah but the current head of the Protocol Office is a holdover from the previous administration. Which means that it's all Bush's fault, something we hear a lot from them, too.

A great picture but could you find one where he tried to shake the marine’s hand instead of saluting like the first time he boarded ?

Does Barry think that they don’t have movie theaters or television in the UK? Or that Brown has been in a coma for the last 40 years? I mean, come on... Anyone who has been alive and conscious in an English-speaking country has probably already seen at least 20 of those 25 films — some of them multiple times.
