Probably doesn’t tip well either.

I would bet money on that one. 10% max.
made in China
No, it is what Gordon Brown deserves for ENDORSING 0bama.
May England be dissed by this self-absorbed a-hole posing as our President.

good point!
Obama IS what he is - anyone willing to check what was posted on FR, Little Green Footballs, etc. would have known what behavior Obama would demonstrate when in the Oval Office.
Our Bad - not his. We voted him in. Now we get what we voted for.
Humbuggery!
Like Castro and his buds cooking a chicken in a Manhattan hotel back during his visit to the UN?
You smell what Barrack's cooking?
What would Jackie O do?
This is embarrassing ...

Nah, she's more contemporary. She called them "crackers"...
So it was more like, "Here, go buy the little limey crackers a trinket."
Yep. Maybe throw an f- or s-bomb in there
Why didnt BO aks him what he wanted?
I think it is somewhere around $25 max if given to an individual.
If it is a more expensive gift, I think the law allows that but the gift is given to the organization, not the person.
So, the gifts were to children, not organization (or “head of state”), therefore they are limited by the law.
Now, there are exemptions and waivers that could have been exercised but the amateurs in charge are dolts.
You don’t make this kind of insult accidentally or through miscalculation.
With a staff of hundreds, reference manuals on protocol, conduct and every other subject, experienced protocol advisors at your fingertips and a history of 232 years to look back on, a monumental snub like the Obamas made can only occur through intent and concious effort to find just the right touch to create the maximum insult.
Even at the very last minute the White House staff could come up with far superior gifts than these two snotty grifters handed out.
It was an embarrassment to see them soil the entrance to the White House and they will continue to embarrass us until they are sent back to the racist thugs and commies they pal with in Chicago.
You misjudge Obama.
OK, maybe he COULD have gotten this toy for <$5 at Amazon. But our President almost certainly paid...$5,000 for it.
Obama never spends without adding at least 3 Zeroes on the end. Unless, of course, it is HIS money!
Insult to injury. Obama put the ax on the deal with the UK company that was schedule to make Marine One helicopters.
"A gift? We're s'posed to buy those limey m**** f*****s a gift?! Here's twenty bucks. Go down to the gift shop and buy the little bastards their f*****g gift. Wait. Better get something for the parents, too. Nevermind. We'll just re-gift that stupid DVD set the Clintons gave us for Christmas."
OMG, now that is funny.
