I was sort of surprised it wasn’t the White House that sent them....
That is the type of gift these classless grifters would send....
I was surprised, too. Obama is not very good at picking out presents.

A Tale of Two Giftings: Obama vs Bush
Confirmed: The Obamas are Tacky, Tasteless, and Cheap The gifting gaffes roll on. First you had a cheap set of American movie DVDs that couldn’t be played in England and now, when meeting the Queen of England,
Barack Obama’s gift for the Queen: an iPod, your Majesty Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 visit to the United States. [but...] The Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she bought in 2005 at the suggestion of Prince Andrew.
What is it with these two Clampets? We they born in a barn? This is getting embarrassing. What are they going to give the rulers of China? Taiwan or a poo-poo cushion?
A commenter at Ace says, “Wow, we were really lucky to get rid of that Texas hillbilly, and miss out on that Alaskan chick, huh?
Up next, his gift to Angela Merkel: copies of “The World at War” and “Schindler’s List” on DVD along with a first edition of “The Diary of Anne Frank”
UPDATE: What did the George and Laura Bush give to the Queen when she visited in
2007? Commenter Eric Blair has located this list a Raymond P. Martinez hosts Ask the White House
President and Mrs. Bush gave Her Majesty a bronze statuette “High Desert Princess” with a personal inscription on the bottom of the base. It is a replica of the original life size statue that is located in front of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, Texas.
President and Mrs. Bush gave The Prince Philip an exclusive sterling silver eagle box by Tiffany & Co. with personal inscription on the inside lid.
President and Mrs. Bush gave Their Majesties a leather presentation box filled with a collection of documents from the National Archives. One of the items was a copy of an original letter from President Roosevelt to her father, King George, written in 1938. There were also photos from previous royal visits and a DVD of the footage from the Queen’s visit to the United States when she was Princess Elizabeth in 1951.
I’m sure Her Majesty will put the Obama iPod in suitable place. No fair dumpster diving behind Buckingham Palace.
