Confirmed: DVDs that Obama gave Gordon Brown are the wrong format posted at 4:50 pm on March 19, 2009 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly
Via Media Blog, one final cringeworthy indignity from the gifts that keep on giving. Until now I thought Obama’s team had spent about five minutes brainstorming on what to get Brown. I was wrong. It was more like two minutes.
What’s that term The One’s been using for his foreign policy? Ah, right. “Smart power.”
Alas, when the PM settled down to begin watching them the other night, he found there was a problem.
The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words “wrong region” came up on his screen. Although he mournfully had to put the popcorn away, he is unlikely to jeopardise the special relationship – or “special partnership”, as we are now supposed to call it – by registering a complaint…
A White House spokesman sniggered when I put the story to him and he was still looking into the matter when my deadline came last night.
By the way, when Obama’s unlikely gift was disclosed, a reader emailed me to ask if Clueless was among the films. Funnily enough, it was not.
What’d he get the Irish PM for St. Patrick’s Day, a kilt? Exit question: Seriously, as minor as this is, doesn’t someone deserve to be fired for it?

But, don’t you understand - eliminating class is what the Communist president is all about. Obama totally lacks class.
was a time when Stuben Crystal woulda been considered adequate...
For somebody with so much international “experience” and a “global citizen”, you would have thought that lord 0bama (peace be upon him) would have at least heard of the different DVD Global Regions. Or at least googled it before “spending all that money” on his great “gift”.....
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama got the Queen a Pokemon beach towel and a few postcards of Marine One.
Other than FNC, I don't think anyone else mentioned this major Obama idiocy.
