The picture of herself is a tradition.
Absolutely!
The picture of herself is a tradition.
So a repeated tradition of narcissism makes it, what, not narcissistic?The picture of herself is a tradition.
the Queen anyways. Who cares about whether some shriveled up old windbag of a tabloid figurehead like her Ipod or not?
Wow - you are one mean and ugly individual. You may not care about the Queen - but she is far more than a tabloid figurehead. The monarchy goes back, what, at least a thousand years - and there is protocol and tradition that goes with it.
The IPod was a ridiculous gift - especially with it being loaded with Obama's speeches! Anyway - the Queen already has one! Maybe if they'd give as much thought to these gifts as they did in planning Mic e's White House garden, they wouldn't make such gaffes.
I mean, the dvds given to Gordon Brown wouldn't even play on British dvd players - how could you be so stupid as to not know that?
And the Obamamaniacs here don't care - but the Brits are insulted by Obama's behavior - they're certainly not very impressed!
Hey, old people love gadgets! My grandmother thinks email is magical
And how do you know about what region the DVD's were, and whether or not the Queen has an Ipod? Are you friends with someone over there?
Really, enlighten us, what policy decisions has the queen been involved with? In fact, what has she ever done other than make public appearances and preside over a family of tabloid celebrities?
Sure the monarchy does, so what, it's a powerless and meaningless facade at this point. And what the about the monarchy's protocol and tradition says that they can't use 21st century technology? What ancient decree do they live by that prohibits expensive Apple products from entering their lives?The monarchy goes back, what, at least a thousand years - and there is protocol and tradition that goes with it.
Imagine if everybody who ever got an ipod as a gift acted that way? When I got one for my ex GF back in 2005, she seemed to think it was a great gift. And hers didn't come pre-loaded with historic video footage.The IPod was a ridiculous gift - especially with it being loaded with Obama's speeches!
Really, what Brits have you been talking to? I'm yet to see anybody actually cite a piece of anti-obama rhetoric from the british press in relation to this whole incident, therefore I KNOW you haven't read one. It must be that Rush told you. But whatever, presumptive and petty accusation is par for the course from your racist ass, crookshanks.And the Obamamaniacs here don't care - but the Brits are insulted by Obama's behavior - they're certainly not very impressed!
I listen to the news all day long and I read news on the internet. The following is an article from the UK Telegraph from yesterday.Hey, old people love gadgets! My grandmother thinks email is magical
And how do you know about what region the DVD's were, and whether or not the Queen has an Ipod? Are you friends with someone over there?
Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 United States visit to Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed signed photograph of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh - apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries.
It is believed the Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she is said to have bought in 2005 at the suggestion of Prince Andrew.
UPDATE: Pool reporter Richard Wolf of USA Today says that an Obama aide told him the President also gave the Queen a "rare songbook signed by Richard Rodgers". END UPDATE
Earlier, Mr Obama had spoken of his admiration for Her Majesty but indicated that his wife was handling the details of their royal meeting. "There's one last thing that I should mention that I love about Great Britain, and that is the Queen," he said at the end of his joint press conference with Gordon Brown.
"And so I'm very much looking forward to meeting her for the first time later this evening. And as you might imagine, Mic e has been really thinking that through -- because I think in the imagination of people throughout America, I think what the Queen stands for and her decency and her civility, what she represents, that's very important."
Mr Brown added: "Well, I know the Queen is looking forward to welcoming you and she's very much looking forward to her discussion with you."
There was widespread criticism in Britain and from Anglophiles in the US of Mr Obama's recent present to Mr Brown of a box set of classic American movies on DVDs that were not compatible with British DVD players.
Oh a 6GB mini? How dare they try to replace that? And I wasn't talking about the DVD's. I know he took heat from those.
What I find funny is this. That you're all up in arms about the queens honor. You don't give a about the Queen. This is somebody who's most famous for publicly squabbling with her brain-dead son and a litany of his ex-wives. So if you want to feign indignation that Obama somehow besmirched her good name, whatever, but don't pretend like the rest of us don't know that's motivated in fact by you being the most prototypically partisan and idiotic member of the right on this entire board. It has nothing to do with the queen and everything with you being a hate-filled when it comes to our President.
This pretty much describes you if you just replace "right" with "left" and "President" with "all republican thoughts or ideals".
Republicans don't have any thoughts or ideals.
And if that's the case (it isn't), fine, at least I don't pretend otherwise with this feigning indignation bs.
Point proved.
hey crooks, is your name amanda?
And that's BS anyways, I have more than enough knowledge and respect for traditional conservative values. Goldwater conservatism is something I may not subscribe to, but I have at least an admiration of it's logical coherency and its right to exist. But if you think the Republican part is that, buddy wake up, because the republican party is a ing cruel joke right now.
And if I were you, as a conservative, I'd spend a bit more time worrying about it.
the queen!
balli - I've had it with you! You are a vile and obscene excuse for a human being! The names you call me are so vile and offensive - and the fact that you think it's okay to use that kind of language towards a person you don't even know tells me you are an uncouth and uncivilized human being with no sense of tact or decency.
If you said those things to my face (although I think you're probably a coward who hides behind the anonymity of the internet) I would slap you so hard you'd wear my handprint for a week!
You have nothing interesting or intelligent to say, so you just call people names. Yes - I despise Obama - but it has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin. I think he's an egotistical, narcissistic bas and I despise everything he stands for. It's my right to have a difference of opinion - just as you disagreed with me about President Bush.
But there's absolutely no reason to call me those offensive and vile names. That word is THE MOST OFFENSIVE thing you can call a woman - so grow up and learn some decent social skills!
I'm not wasting any more time or energy on you - you are now on ignore.
some people hide behind "ignore".
Cool. But, you are a racist. I seem to remember you making plenty of posts about black people getting all uppity as a result of Obama's election and basically, I think based on that and every other post you've made that you're a monster. Nevermind what you say about them, it's beyond ridiculous that you'd dismiss anybody as "the blacks."
If I've offended you, good, you're ing trash.
I'm not hiding behind anything. I've tried and tried to ignore his vile name-calling. But it gets to a point when you decide to stop exposing yourself to that level of vitriol and hatred - and I've reached that point.
you do that already with levin, willingly with approval.
you should of saved your money and listen to his incoherent babble on the radio.
thats what i do.....every day.
And you know, you're right. I shouldn't call any woman that name. And so I truly do apologize. I feel bad on behalf of other women who may have read it. But I still think you're an absolute s of a human. So you decide which is the less offensive sentiment.
lol Balli sure does hate crookshanks.
What would be the ideal gift to give to the queen that is worthy as a royal gift?
I feel bad about it. I recently made a big fuss in the club about treating people like . And I almost made a caveat for my treatment of crookshanks, cause I know I've been over the top with her. I was thinking about it the whole time. So I'm going to leave her be.
But honestly, she can't make a single, utterly close-minded post that doesn't drive me up the walls. So we'll have to ignore each other.
pussies.
Yeah. Kind of. But she has a right to be pissed.
yeah i'd be pissed to... at myself if i supported a sucker like bush for 8 yrs.
