Ah, it must be good to be a sleezoid *sskisser

[stormer]

You do realize they don’t get to keep these things.

[cld51860]

They can’t keep ‘em, as I understand it.

[gleeaikin]

Unless the rules have changed, all this is supposed to be turned over to the country. I don’t know whether immediately, or when they leave the White House.

[Outlaw Woman]

Those "gifts" do not belong to them! Of course we saw how the Clintons took everything that wasn't nailed down. I believe its a commie thing. LBJ stole things off the jet that flew him home after his 'stint' in office.

Saudi Arabia's king was the most generous gift-giver>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Go figure:

My bet? Obama is a narcist elitist. Obama will not obey the laws and turn these official gifts over, he will have them bogus valued at a small percentage of their value, and write a small pro forma check for them.Its a done deal IMHO.

[MPJackal]

The king gave Michelle Obama a pearl necklace. Not her first I am sure.

[Tucker39]

Add it all up and it’s still chump change compared to the money Obummer is guaranteeing the ragheads by curtailing all drilling for oil in the offshore U.S. Appears that, these days, if you’re a turncoat traitor politician in the U.S. of A......paybacks are suhweeet!

[Wuli]

Aren’t they prevented by law from keeping them.

If that is true, a new POTUS can return them all.

[Don Corleone]

Saudi Arabia's king was the most generous gift-giver.

Yup! He gave him the 1/2 White House.

[The Great RJ]

Look at the crap the Obama’s have given world leaders. Remember the $50 worth of DVDs, the I-pod for the Queen of England and other faux pas.

[Bernard Marx]

Even the Devil must be given his due. It always helps to read the story at the link. This one concludes:

The gifts have all been turned over to the National Archives.

[Captain7seas]

Haul it all down to the hock shop, the country's BROKE. That's what alot of American’s are doing that are also BROKE.

Keep importing oil
Keep importing goods from China
Keep exporting manufacturing.
Keep the border wide open.
Keep shutting down natural resource production.
Keep borrowing money.
Keep electing the same idiots that are maintaining the above.

How's all that working out for us?

[Vinnie]

Better tell Zer0 and esp. Michelle this stuff is owned by the Government.

[5thGenTexan]

That was year one during the lovefest. I wonder if they even got an iPod in 2010.

[Blogatron]

Come for the Juice; stay for the Bling.

[sbMKE]

Amend the tax returns.

[Huntress]

Some leaders chose more modest gifts. Britain's Queen Elizabeth presented Obama with framed portraits of herself and her husband, Prince Philip, worth $775.

Tee hee. I bet you thought she'd forgotten about that iPod, Barry.
