**So, what did President Obama give the British PM? 25 movies on DVD. Yeah, that’s it. Brown gives a symbolic gift like the pen holder fashioned from a famous British warship and Obama responds by sending a staffer to WalMart to pick up a few quick movies.
How thoughtful. Or not.
And I’m not the only one to scoff at this thoughtless gift. The entire British press is up in arms. Many in Britain are seeing this as entirely gauche and indicative of the low esteem in which the Obama’s hold England.**
Gordon Brown is blind in one eye and fearful of losing diminished sight in the other. So much for thoughtfulness.
Hope those DVD’s were in UK format, not U.S. Otherwise Mr. Brown will have to squint at zig-zag.
I wonder if it has anything to do with how England dealt with the radicals in Kenya?
They are right on both counts.
And, it’s just plain tacky. I really don’t want a tacky first family doing things on my behalf.
The Gift of Gaffe.
The next time Brown comes, he could present a framed copy (same wood) of the Bamster’s birth certificate. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem for MI5. They even have a show on PBS (LOL).
