Obama's Gift To British Prime Minister Rendered Useless By DRM

"Maybe the UK is prepared for a similar political inflection point: its Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was recently given a gift of 25 DVDs of classic American movies by US President Barack Obama. When Brown sat down to watch one of them, he found he couldn't -- because Obama had given him Region 1 DVDs, unplayable in Brown's Region 2 DVD player."

The most intelligent and caring president in the history of American screws up yet again.

Lololololololol...

TOTUS didn’t give barry the right guidance that day. The batteries must’ve been weak that day.

[N. Theknow]

Did 0bama also send a DVD to the Chinese leaders entitled "Flee Wirry?"

aka, Free Willy

[DGHoodini]

...So they kick up another $150 for a portable Region 1 DVD player, and a outlet conversion kit...

[taildragger]

We should be so lucky... At some point maybe "our" media will not play well for Obama, no matter what the format...

[LottieDah]

But...but...Zero is only human...he’s a new president...he’s apt to make mistakes...yadda yadda yadda.

What an American disgrace—this whole Administration and the morons that put them in power. That sound you hear is all the American patriots going back to 1776 rolling in their graves in disgust!

[jakerobins]

So I guess Obama and his ENTIRE administration must be ZONE 2... Because they have been USELESS the whole time they have been in the White House!!! Can we please get a president who is Zone 1 and agree’s with the American people?? I know for a fact Sarah Palin or Fred Thompson would be Zone 1 and fully compatible with the American Public!

[freekitty]

They are a disgrace.

[SkyDancer]

You can buy all region DVD players ... it'll detect what region is wanted to be played. You can buy them here.

A note to Obama:

I resent your HORRIFIC and MEANINGLESS GIFT to the British Prime Minister.

How dare you do this in our name.

Please call him and apologize for your lack of graciousness, your lack of knowledge on correct etiquette when welcoming a foreign dignitary and get your arrogance fat half - black arse into presidential mode and STOP bankrupting our nation.

Shoulda sent 8 tracks.

Did Obozo’s teleprompter pick out the gift or was it Geithner or Dodd?

I agree. Barry and his staff are tasteless idiots.

This is worse than dyeing the White House fountain green for the American-Irish vote.

I would be willing to bet money that barry soetero or barack obama or whoever that flim flam man is in our Oval Office will not be making any errors when the first terrorist or leader of a terrorist sponsoring nation visits our White House. I bet the administration goes all out to make sure the gift is appropriate and honorable.

Obama is a pig. No, a monkey, he REALLY looks like one, unlike GW who was always likened to one, and worse, obama ACTS like one. Just plain rude.

Right! The red carpet will be rolled out and $100.00 a pound beef will be served on gold plates along with the finest of wines.

And who knows what the gifts will be? The Hope Diamond, an original copy of the Constitution, the state of Hawaii, five-hundred 12 year old white girls? Nothing is too good for our raghead friends.

ALL at OUR expense.

As clueless as the MSM claimed W was, neither he nor his staff did anything as stupid as this in their first 60 days.

Well...you had me absolutely howling with laughter at the. Hope Diamond suggestion, but the white girl comment laid me out.....too funny !!! (in a sick way, of course!)
