When Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited the White House this week, he received from the Obamas a collection of Top 25 American movies on DVD and his sons got toy versions of the president’s Marine One helicopter.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the president has also put a lot of thought into what gift to present to Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace.

You’re right - it’s beyond embarrassing. Let’s see how long “the world” will keep smiling at his insults and gaffes.

“Hey, why do a job half assed when you can make a complete ass of yourself?”

What Pres zer-O seems to be intent on doing is dissing our most reliable allies, i.e., Israel and the UK. Both have stood by us through thick and thin. Pres zer-O would rather align himself with the Palestinians and socialist Europe instead. He will soon replace Neville Chamberlain as history's “Great Appeaser”....

You left off the punchline which is the funniest part...

At the moment, the music seems more likely, since the image of a bare-armed Michelle Obama, with rippling biceps, carrying the mattress into the palace might detract from the pageantry of the moment.

To hell with the “Queen”. Who cares?

She's a head of state.

She is an idol/figure head who is treated as a God because the British think she has been put there by God.

In fact there was a book not long ago that was written by a British writer who basically explain how the “Queen's” bloodline can be traced all the way back to Christ.

I understand her role, but I don't see her value. She is obsolete. The concept that she is better, more divine and elevated than any woman or man is astounding to me.

Do you believe she is more extraordinary by blood than your own Mother? Would you bow down to her if you met her? Why?

..or an official Michelle Obama bust to make up for the Churchill bust scandal..

Ill bet they will be shocked to learn the Queen doesnt keep tacky black velvet paintings of nude black women around the palace.
