PSYCHO AND 24 OTHER DVD'S BRAND NEW IN BOX SET - UNWANTED GIFT
Posted on 03/07/2009 10:23:52 AM PST by AJKauf
The exchange of gifts seemed to say it all: for Barack Obama, an ornamental pen holder carved from the timbers of the HMS Gannet, a British naval vessel that took part in the battle to end the slave trade; for Gordon Brown, a box set of classic American movies on DVD.
Personally, I’m a big fan of giving DVD box sets as presents. Not only are they cheap, but they look impressive on a bookshelf and can be handily purchased at short notice, due to the fact that they’re piled high in stores that can’t get rid of them. In other words, they’re the perfect last-minute gift for someone you can’t be bothered to expend much time, money or effort on.
Maybe it was laziness on the part of the White House, or maybe it simply reflects the fact the Obama belongs to a generation that attaches more historical and emotional significance to movies than to antiques, however symbolic. Nonetheless, the British press, eager to latch on to any evidence of Obama delivering a “snub” to Brown, was suitably miffed....

0bama might as well have found an old concert t-shirt in the back of his closet that he hadn’t worn in a while and given that to the PM.
While his destruction of our society to build his marxist utopia is deliberate, his handling of foreign affairs is just downright ignorant.
The answer is simple. Hussein has no class.
He just sent an aide to the White House gift shop.
Obama was originally planning to give him a document signed by Benjamin Franklin, but he was outbid.
Ignorant and naive, for sure. Then Clinton gives a “Reset” button gag give to the foreign minister of Russia, implying everything done before was wrong. Reagan destroys communism, helps free enslaved Eastern Europe, gets the Berlin Wall torn down and helps Russia get launched toward a democracy. And she delivers a childish gag gift.
Like the Clinton administration, this one is run by inexperienced juveniles and the adults are nowhere to be found.
How could you possibly expect Barack Hussein to give up one of his prized Micheal Jackson T-Shirts.
does anyone know what the dvd set was? The Complete Hogan’s Heroes? Season 2 of “Small Wonder” or “Saved By The Bell”?
Because Gordon Brown’s just a “typical white person.”
One would have to know what class is to have it. One would also need to have it to lose it. Urkel has neither. Nor do his jackbooted goons. You can dress up a pile of crap but underneath it is still a pile of crap...no I didn’t intend to be refined.
Urkel is as shallow as a piece of paper. Someone was trying to understand the symbolism of the “gift” to PM Brown...there was none, no thought and not symbolism at all, just a random empty gesture.
The British are offended and should be.
Let’s be honest...it’s not Barry going to the store and picking this crap out..it’s his people. His people are clueless and classless...Hey, this is what America wanted..CHANGE.
But, I am not surprised that Obama would give such a gift...after all...it was the Hollywood set of movie stars that gave him such support! That's the crowd he thinks are important...thus, he gave what he thought was an "important" gift. What a demonstration of low-class values!
Heeee Heeeee Heeeeee!
Maybe they had the full collection of “The Fresh Price of Bellaire” and “The Jeffersons.”
He and Michelle have large chips on their shoulders.
Gordon Brown is, also, nearly blind.
To me, this was a deliberate insult.
Brown is nearly blind.
