That is doesn’t even realize not everyone is in love with them. He is genuinely shocked that all the G20 leaders are not falling all over themselves to endorse his vague ideas to save the world. That they are daring to advance specific plans of their own.

I just saw a photo of them Obamas with the Queen. Mrs. Obama forced the Duke of Edinburgh out of the picture.

It’s Gorge fault ahhhh
Is Bush fault aahh
It Pres Bush aahh
It formal Pres Bush fault

“In particular I’m looking forward to what gaffes Obama and his State Department make on this trip abroad. Should be good fun reading.” (http://www.redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/04/01/ap-confuses-criticism-of-obama-with-racial-slurs/#comment-4596, down at the bottom)

I guess it’s not really prophetic if everyone knew it was going to happen.

perhaps to replace the one SHE ALREADY HAS??
And a signed songbook by Hammerstein, which is diplomatic cool, I guess.
An iPod? Engraved or not, seems kinda low on the list of things one head of state gives to another head of state.
Unless the first doesn’t understand the importance of diplomatic physical symbols…….nah, couldn’t be something like that. (Then again, the photo-op with Hillary and that stupid looking “reset” button………)

For the lackwit and his ineptitude to:

British Embassy
3100 Massachusetts Ave Nw,
Washington, DC 20008

Not sure where he got it, but obviously a joke. I’m not sure an iPod is much better.

Diplomatic jaws dropped across the continent yesterday when it was revealed that U.S. President Barack Obama had, once again, fumbled a routine protocal of international statecraft: finding the right gift for a foreign leader or head of state. In a private ceremony with Queen Elizabeth, Her Royal Highness bequeathed to the Obamas one of the earliest known copies of William Shakespeare’s Henry V. She also presented him with the framed orginal sheet music of John Newton’s “Amazing Grace.” To the Obama daughters, the Queen gave a dollhouse-sized replica of Windsor Castle with a functioning train station in the year of the compound. They also received a prize Shetland pony. Mrs. Obama was given a ruby ring commissioned and worn by Queen Victoria.

The Obamas, unfortunately, did not seem prepared for the occasion despite the row set off by the exchange of gifts between Prime Minister Brown and the U.S. President barely a month ago. Mr. Obama rather unceremoniously handed the Queen a shopping bag from the Duty Free shop at Heathrow airport. It contained a signed paperback copy of Dreams of My Father, purchased at the WH Smith shop at the airport, a bottle of Johnny Walker Scotch (black label), a CD of the Swedish band ABBA’s greatest hits (still in shrink wrap with a 2-for-1 sticker on it) and ten bags of M&Ms with the presidential seal on them.

The Queen responded in a rather flat: “How delightful.”

Zero and his crew of the smartest people on Earth probably even bought an i-pod with the American 2 pronged charger vs. the British/European model. As with all things Zero does once the battery/shelf life is over it becomes useless.

Ironically, Jeff, you messed it up as well, but then again, you’re not on a diplomatic mission there, so you get a pass on it.

“This time it was on his visit to Great Britain — or, if you take his word for it, England, which he referred to in lieu of the nation’s proper name in a move that likely incurred the less-than-warm-and-fuzzy feelings in residents of Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland”

Great Britain is just the island, so it refers to Scotland, Wales, and England and not Northern Ireland.

What you are thinking of is the United Kingdom which is all of Great Britain plus Northern Ireland.

No worries. phxg claims I’m from New England, and I can assure you no one in Delaware thinks they are from New England.

But I agree, Obama should know the difference before going on a diplomatic mission there. It’s a pet peeve of mine (since I’m half English) and I couldn’t let this pass without a friendly correction!

You’da thought a man with his experience as a Chicago thug….I mean community organizer would have known better.
Why didn’t at least ONE of the hangers-on, of the 500 he took with him(I ain’t lyin’) tell him SOMETHING!

We couldn’t make this stuff up, that’s how bad he is at gifts. I guess it’s still Bush’s fault?

He does have 500 people with him according to Rush from earlier this week. What are the 500 doing? I imagine gazing in awe at The One is about all they have to do so he lets them hang on.

It took some looking, but I finally found what George W. Bush gave to the Queen in 2003:

The queen presented gifts to President and Mrs. Bush, a solid silver rule engraved with her royal cipher and the president’s seal, which listed, on the reverse side, all the previous presidents. In addition, the queen gave the president a bound copy of a catalog of the royal treasures and a custom-made Linley jewelry box for Mrs. Bush. The Bushes presented the queen and Prince Philip with a set of china, made by Lenox, to a design by Timothy Carter.

Is there some anti-British sentiment coming from Obama due to Kenya’s history as a British Colony? Some grudge there?

I couldn’t believe the cancelled photo-op with Brown and the tacky DVD-boxed set gift of “ET” and other crap… Don’t you think he’d have watched that by now if he was so inclined? And now an i-pod for the Queen? -nice touch, lol

These anti-British stunts should tell you whether Obama, in his heart, considers himself more Kenyan-African, or more American. A REAL American wouldn’t have sent-back the bust of Churchill that was in the White House and insult our wartime ally.

Oh, and Mr Brown… you were all bubbly for him last year, remember? What else to expect, chump? He’ll use you, if you let him… but once you’re no longer politically benefitial, serial opportunist Obama will treat you like yesterday’s garbage. This arrogant charlatan now even approaches the press, who lick his posterior, with contempt… hectoring them with “don’t waste your question” and telling them they’ve “got enough pictures”.

Just ask Khalidi, Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Blagojevich, or any other former ally he now treats like a leper… rule #1 is Barack takes care of Barack.

“England, Great Britain, United Kingdom, whatever, I know she’s Queen of somewhere. It’s still to bad about Freddie dying though, I hope she is over it”

“Gripes, I got her an Ipod. How was I to know the plugs have 3 big prongs over here”

“Michelle is dressed like a tourist from Oregon because the Book said that Great Britain was like Oregon, only smaller.”

“Hey, the Songbook came with a coupon good for a free first piano lesson.”

I’m sure the last time someone like Barry showed up at Buckingham Palace they just paid him for the pizza and he left.

Really? Really? I mean, can these Fools be any dumber….

now… wait… first let us go back as I had “heard” in coverage that the Queen actually had been asking for a Video capable I-Pod and that this one was engraved and had some supposedly “nice” related Video items from the Queens last visit to the US on it (as if they wouldn’t have had their own “Videos” of the trip)…. So again, I’m back to…

REALLY? Is that the best the ObamaBinBiden Fools can do?!?!? let us grant that the Queen really, really, really, wanted one… Isn’t that the kind of “Gift” that one of the Grand-kids would get the Queen for her Birthday!?!?!?

Can these people use their brains at all? They cannot come up with anything remotely intelligent and showing they spent any more than 2 BLEEPIN’ SECONDS of thought behind it?!?!?

I am still between laughing my hind-side off and crying (out of embarrassment for our National image) that these MORONS are running our country!
