Confirmed: DVDs that Obama gave Gordon Brown are the wrong format posted at 4:50 pm on March 19, 2009 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly
Via Media Blog, one final cringeworthy indignity from the gifts that keep on giving. Until now I thought Obama’s team had spent about five minutes brainstorming on what to get Brown. I was wrong. It was more like two minutes.
What’s that term The One’s been using for his foreign policy? Ah, right. “Smart power.”
Alas, when the PM settled down to begin watching them the other night, he found there was a problem.
The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words “wrong region” came up on his screen. Although he mournfully had to put the popcorn away, he is unlikely to jeopardise the special relationship – or “special partnership”, as we are now supposed to call it – by registering a complaint…
A White House spokesman sniggered when I put the story to him and he was still looking into the matter when my deadline came last night.
By the way, when Obama’s unlikely gift was disclosed, a reader emailed me to ask if Clueless was among the films. Funnily enough, it was not.
What’d he get the Irish PM for St. Patrick’s Day, a kilt? Exit question: Seriously, as minor as this is, doesn’t someone deserve to be fired for it?
Obama doesn’t give a crap about Gordon Brown, British people or even Americans.
Also there is a work around. In many cases, a person can put in a DVD from their own region, eject it then put then the other region DVD into the player. That usually unlocks it.
Hussein is an idiot.
Even the Smartest Woman in the World might have thought to check into this, before putting the bow on the DVD’s.
Rush said that Gordon Brown is blind in one eye and is losing sight in the other. Good one Barry.
Apparently his administration is a bunch of ghetto thug rubes that don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.
I should add that I still think it was stupid to give Brown a DVD set that costs $4.99 at “Big Lots.”
I know he wants to, but hopefully she’s busy washing her hair or something.
I told you it was a Christmas present to them they were giving.
We are truly in the hands of IDIOTS!!!
What a Putz......
Dumb and Dumber??
Obama, the “internationalist,” claims to be a man of the world, but turns out to be a provincial hick and nothing buy a self-impressed poseur.
The mystery is how the media, even the worst of them, keep inself from wretching as they continue to boost this ever more puffed up balloon!
Hey, yall are assuming that the DVDs even made it back to GB.
“Obama doesn’t give a crap about Gordon Brown, British people or even Americans.”
Oh, yes he does; he wants to tank them.
That’s okay, we’re trying to play a region 5 president in a region 1 country.
(Once you figure it out, you’re gonna laaaaaugh!)
