First of all, he cancelled a joint press conference because of snow flurries, then he didn’t offer PM Brown a formal dinner as tradition, nor did he even offer him some lunch.
Then, after getting two priceless gifts (see article) and a gift worth thousands, he gives the PM a DVD box set including titles like “ET, Psycho, etc..”
Then, after the PM’s wife gave the Obama daughters pricey London boutique dresses and matching necklaces, Michelle Obama sends her home to give the Brown’s two boys plastic helicopter replicas from the White House gift shop of a helicopter that the US just cancelled the contract for (costing the UK millions) building.
I’m sure I’ll remember something else included in this ridiculously embarassing “snub”. This was far beyond a “snub”, this was a punch in the nose.
Oh yeah, and after a London journalist called the state dept to question it, (keep in mind, this country has troops fighting OUR WAR) the state dept official told the journalist “You aren’t any different than any of the other 190 countries in the world”.
I did not realize that his staff said that!
Lord Have Mercy, this administration is a nightmare.
It's even worse than that.
See my post #74.
Prime Minister Brown is blind in one eye and losing his sight in the other eye.
Giving him a set of DVD's is like giving an iPod to Helen Keller.
