No, it is what Gordon Brown deserves for ENDORSING 0bama.

May England be dissed by this self-absorbed a-hole posing as our President.

We have enough real issues to slam him on without wasting time on little stuff like this.

Is there any confirmation that this is the actual model? There are many die cast models that run in the $100+ range.

Knock yourself out.

Similar models of Marine One in identical-looking boxes bearing the White House crest are sold on Amazon for $15 (£10.67).

Michelle got hers at the one of a kind, exclusive White House Gift Shop. The only one on the whole planet...

Obama-Mart.

Probably doesn’t tip well either.

Democrats spend; Republicans tip.

Old saying which USED to be true...

Let me guess. The Obama’s had to pay for this out of their own pocket, which is why it’s so cheap.

Yes, but perhaps Barack Mugabe himself autographed it, thus making the gift invaluable and a historic treasure.....

Holy smokes. I'm one of the simplest, cheapest people you'll ever meet . . . but when it comes to treating people with respect, I go above and beyond the call of duty.

I won't even charge my tips on my company's expense reports -- because they'd give me hell if they found out how much I tip waitresses, hotel staff, etc.

Is there a photo of Mrs. Brown with the gift? This story doesn’t give any real evidence that the model they found on Amazon was the actual model used as a present.

If it was the Amazon model, then the obamas are a couple of real idiots.

I'm sure Obama will do the right thing and give the Queen something that can only be had in America. He may even get it embroidered with her name on it.

He’s supposed to have an office of protocol to do this stuff for him.
