Just when I thought he couldn't get any worse he goes and proves me wrong.. thats right Obama gave the Queen an ipod. I can't say I'm all that shocked after all this is Obama we are talking about here. So I heard the other day Obama gave the Queen of England an ipod along with some o' so wonderful things. I got this from "The Corner" by Jonah Goldberg, he writes, "Diplomatic jaws dropped across the continent yesterday when it was reveal the 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." (As some of you may know he gave the Prime Minister a 25 disk DVD collection of American classic movies, ha ha nice one.) Among the gifts the Queen gave the Obama family was one of the earliest known copies of William Shakespeare's Henry the V, the framed original sheet music of John Newton's "Amazing Grace", For the Obama girls a dollhouse-sized replica of Windsor Castle with a functioning train station, also a prize winning Shelton pony, to Mrs. Obama a ruby ring commissioned and worn by Queen Victoria. In Return the Obamas unceremoniously handed the Queen a shopping bag from the Duty Free shop at Heathrow Airport, inside a signed copy of "Dreams of My Father" (book he wrote), a bottle of Johnny Walker Scotch, ABBA'S greates hits CD still in plastic wrap with a 2 for 1 sticker on it, and ten bags of M&M's with the presidential seal on them. The Queen responded with a flat "How Delightful." What a joke, way to represent the people of America. He would have been better off to give nothing at all, or send something later then to hand over what he did. All I can say is GLAD I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM!
