Continue ing about gifts and citing the British media as source please. It proves how out of touch you are.
Look - this board is filled with people with very strong opinions who very often disagree with each other. That is fine with me - I don't understand the mindset of libs and you libs can't fathom how a person could even be a conservative, much less like people such as George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. So we can disagree - but what I find so disconcerting is when people start making it so personal and stoop to juvenile name-calling.
Boutons and NBAdan used to drive me nuts; and I'll never agree with their view of the world - but they didn't make it personal. Kori is very lenient with this board - but just because she doesn't censor us doesn't mean we shouldn't exercise some self-restraint.
And using the "ignore" feature allows us to filter out those people who really push our buttons - and then we can remain civil.

I hope Obama gives Hannah Montana tickets as his next gift to Britain.
I used the British media to back up my statements about the Queen already having an IPod and the dvds not being compatible with British players.British media as source
However, you should read the comments in the British papers - from people all around the world - quite interesting!
No - I should spend no more reading about this than I should spend time reading about what weight Jessica Simpson is at or whether or not Britnety Spears is wearing underwear today or who Tom Cruise is ing today because its all the same irrelevant bull you're trying to pass off as important.
Seriously, please go read more about this. We all need to be aware of what these gifts are because its an incredibly important topic. Actually, do me a favor - if you're going to insist on reading about this find out how the Queen felt about the gift
I hope the gifts get tackier. A singing bass for king of Saudi Arabia and a Slap Chop for the emperor of Japan.
you're such a conservative and yet you back these fools... ha. maybe you're a catholic priest too who s little alter boys but you're a priest so it's all good and you'll get away with it sort of like starting an unneeded war with iraq for oil, buying a ton of Oxycontin without a prescription, and running your mouth like you know a thing or two on tv. bad analogy but you get the point.
the conservative way is to do the complete opposite of what your party's "morals" are and then acting as if it's all good and nothing ever happened by sweeping that under the rug.
Admit it. DVD box set and an iPod? Aren't these gifts that you'd expect "dumbya" to give a head of state? These gifts just don't seem to fit the sophisticated, cerebral image of Obama that the media has portrayed.
To tell you the truth I never gave a about the gifts heads of state gave to one another.
Still don't.
When did you start to care?
At least he didn't get her a pocket rocket.
why give anything? i don't understand... and what the do you get a bunch of rich ass people that they don't already own or can't get on their own with a snap of their fingers?
you get the queen some new depends, you pay for charles 1 millionth divorce, buy the boys some drugs and some floozies. that's what they really wanted and needed instead.
I had never heard about a gift before the DVD set. I don't care what these guys give each other. In any event, why the focuss on the Ipod when he gave her a signed book from a composer of songs she loves?
Its all ing stupid.
I'm sure this will be a big part of the history books 20 years from now.
Dang crookshanks...you really got the faux intelligensia riled up today...
Dead cat!
bull rally?...
Maybe a positive stock market reaction to the fact that congress is scared to death of passing Obama's budget.
It sure wasn't the unemployment numbers.
You just can't bring yourself to think that anything positive could happen in the market because of Obama.
It's cute.
I figure it's possible, though anything is really hard to prove.
Anyway, it's clear the Queen hates the Obamas.

a man banging his shoe on some desk became history.
Honestly, I'd rather him not racking his brains at night thinking about the 'perfect gift!' when he should be thinking about, ya know, the economy.
Of course, he could always hire someone to take care of it for him, but I'm sure then that conservatives would blast him for boondoggles and unnecessary spending and earmarks.
As said earlier, the whole trinkets secret santa gift giving is a bit ridiculous anyways; I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
potatoe became history
Are you seriously equating an iPod to Khruschev's speech to the UN General Assembly?
Crookshanks, what is the ideal gift that Obama should give a Queen?
Stop right there. You're completely wrong. I could absolutely understand why a person would be conservative. For most of my life, I have been a conservative, republican member, and in every election voted for and supported the republican nominee for president.
This current republican party is not the party I used to support. I'm just old enough to remember a completely different group of individuals that didn't actively try to screw the American consumer out of their money in the name of big business.
Really? You mean like how one of the leading members of the republican party stated that Obama might give British PM Gordon Brown anal poisoning?much less like people such as George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. So we can disagree - but what I find so disconcerting is when people start making it so personal and stoop to juvenile name-calling.

So yes. Some of the members of the liberal party can be classless. The LEADING MEMBERS of your party can be like that, and instead of stating so on a random sports message board, they broadcast it to their entire audience. I'll leave it up to you to decide if either are acceptable.
And the difference here is that, from what I've seen, the liberal members of this board keep an open mind and are willing to have a little back and forth debate about the issues. It's not a two-way street from what I've seen. If you want to exercise some self-restraint, how about showing a little maturity, as an adult, and not making a big deal out of the fact that our President gave the Queen an iPod. I mean, really? That's what you want to focus on? That's what you think is important in today's global economy and climate of uncertainty? An iPod?Boutons and NBAdan used to drive me nuts; and I'll never agree with their view of the world - but they didn't make it personal.

You see, it's funny. You participate so vehemently against our President in a thread like this, and then you have the gall to call someone out for needing to act more mature and exercise restraint. If you could admit this is a ridiculous topic and a hullabaloo about nothing except to stir up anger amongst the liberal members here and a pointless attack on Obama, I'd have a lot more respect for you.
Maybe if he would have presented her with a golden calf, the republicans would be more satisfied with the show of wealth by our President.
