I would ask what the , but this thread makes more sense than most of the other ones you post and I know it's not plagiarized.
I mean, come on!

I was waiting for this thread.
A queen. wtf
They haven't grown out of that yet?
I have no idea what you are talking about. Very vague topic.
I guarantee you that she is enjoying her video Ipod. So, in the end, its a great gift.
LMAO I knew I'd find this at the top of the Drudge report.
And given what it had on it, it's at least as thoughtful as a silverframed photograph of yourself. :p
Hope and Change has come to the State Dept! I just knew the new administration would sweep the world off its feet, after that cowboy made us look awful, etc.
I mean ... the DVD's, I might get for my friend for Christmas, when I can't think of anything else to give him. But did he get the IPod at the airport store right before boarding the plane? Did he even get it out of the shopping bag before giving it to the Queen? Did he at least remember to take the bar code and price tag off?
Can't make this stuff up.
Actually... per the Drudge report/ABCNews, it came with...
President and First Lady Obama gave Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II a video iPod with inscription, songs uploaded and accessories, plus a rare musical songbook signed by Richard Rodgers.
Uploaded onto the iPod:
Whereas they gave us...
- Photos from the Queen's 2007 White House State Visit
- Photos from the Queen's 2007 Jamestown, Va., Visit
- Photos from the Queen's 2007 Richmond, Va., Visit
- Video from the Queen's 1957 Jamestown Visit
- Video from the Queen's 2007 Jamestown Visit
- Video from the Queen's 2007 Richmond Visit
- Photos from President Obama's Inauguration
- Audio of then-state senator Obama's speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and
- Audio of President Obama 2009 Inauguration Address
Britain's Press Association reports that the Royal couple gave the Obamas "a silver-framed, signed photograph of themselves."
Honestly, is their gift better than ours? lol
The silver frame is probably worth a couple of bones.
Drudge is an invaluable resource. Would we have ever heard of Monica Lewinsky without him? (Probably not -- the media would have buried it). Anyway ...
I think the Brits got wise this time around. And the I-Pod, with this stuff uploaded, sounds much better than the DVDs. And a silver-framed autographed photo of the Royals is worth quite a bit itself.
Still ... didn't the royals already have video of all this? And 2004 Obama's Convention speech they can get on Youtube. (Why not something of Churchill?)
I like this trend.
me too. i'm guessing the next gift that we give to a leader of a country, that we'll profusely apologize to that we're sorry for all the bad we've done, will be a weekend trip to the sundance film festival if that hasn't passed already. joy
i mean, even cnn was making light of it. i wonder if it was bedazzled or if it contained bling. i'm guessing the latter.
So where's mine?I'd like to meet the genius who thought of this gift?
I'm thinking Hu Jintao ends up getting an Obama autographed Yao Ming jersey................
Gotta hand it to him though, it was a better idea then the "reset" button.
LOL that'd be awesome...
But honestly, his next gift has gotta be a Wii signed by Shigeru Miyamoto
That would be cool too.
I wonder if world leaders do the whole re-gifting thing? That DVD collection Obama gave Gordon Brown has to be in Indonesia by now.

He should have given her a framed copy of W's helicopter leaving White House grounds forever.
LMAO

For you, special price! DVD Obama! Very good deal!
Filled with his speeches.
What a surprise!
Obama needs to quit giving these disgusting capitalist products to our foreign comrades.
What a narcissist.
I know! It's almost as bad as giving a fancy picture of yourself to someone!
Wait a sec... lol
I do hope we're all in agreement that the whole practice of world leaders exchanging trinkets is lame to begin with.
