The Obamas don’t give their own children birthday or Christmas gifts.

As don't other Muslims......

President Bush gave Brown an Official U.S, Navy Leather flight jacket Identical to what the Aircrew of Marine One wear complete with a name patch with his name on it as well as the Presidential seal.

The slap in the face goes even deeper than a couple of toys, Obama has plans to cancel the contract for the next Marine One that Britain is building (part of the reason President Bush gave Brown a Marine One leather flying jacket)Obama is throwing in his face through his children that he won’t be flying The one Britain was supposed to build at $400 million dollars a copy for 23 helicopters.

And you thought it was all about a child’s toy, Obama is purposely souring every friendship this country has with long time allies, while kissing up to the very people we have been fighting against.

Why because he is part of the one world order that is socialism/communism. He will isolate the American people before everything comes apart at the seams.

Yeah. . .when the president receives lavish gifts they belong to the US, not him. . .the president can ask for waiver to keep if wanted or buy, too. The Messiah could have asked for waiver (like Bush when giving the jacket) when giving a decent gift to a head of state. Thing is, we can't control what they do with the gift once it is “over there,” so it really doesn't matter anyway.

The helo thing is interesting, though I am inclined to go with a helo the president (not The One) doesn't have to stoop over when he gets in. But that's just me..

Brown had the option to keep the Jacket, but only if he paid for it under British law, it was worth over the limit of what he could keep, 160 pounds, I jusr read that Brown is blind in one eye and partially blind in the other which makes the DVD collection almost as big a slight as this.

PRECISELY! Well done!

Reminds me of academy days cooking grilled cheese sandwiches on our irons at night after taps.

CAN YOU SMELL WHAT BARACK IS COOKIN’?????

Pretty good tagline, actually.

Michelle My Belle should have given the Brown kids, (I don't mean that the way you think I do), the Official Barack Hussein Obama Commemorative Coin Sets that are featured in Parade Magazine, the Sunday paper coupon pages and late night TV infomercials.

They are destined to become priceless commodities on Ebay in about 200 years. (You'll be able to melt them down to make spear heads to kill your dinner since the real effects of the Obama Depression will still be in full force). BTW - Does anybody know if the White House Gift Shop sells the Matthew Lesko book that tells you how to get free money from the Gubmint?

I’ve seen some expensive models in our area - the helicopter comes from our neck of the woods.

Are they sure this was cheap plastic thing?
