Ipod?
April 1st, 2009IPOD???
Words fail me. Obama gave the Queen of England an IPOD? What is this moron going to do next? Friend her on Facebook?
The people who said Obama would be Carter II may not realize how generous that prediction was.
Please tell me this is an April Fool’s joke.

I can’t wait until he gets to Saudi Arabia. I’m guessing he’ll gift King Aziz a nice bottle of Manischewitz.

I’m beginning to think this administration a never-ending joke.

Hopefully he remembered that the electrical system is different. But I wouldn’t count on it.

Heh. Look deeper into the story.
They were ready for him this time.
The Queen and Prince Philip gave Obama autographed portraits of themselves. Quite fitting, I think.

The story says that is their customary gift.

I think what makes it funny is that it’s true.

This is what we always called the Arkansas factor, yet strangely enough, these are all Illinois yankees.

You know just off of the top of my head I can think of Stuben, Fenton Glass and Longaberger Baskets. Three companies that make absolutely beautiful products here in the US. All they had to do was pick up the dang phone and call them. I happen to know that QE II already has a Longaberger basket that she uses with her daily tea service.
They gave her an Ipod made in China, I guess that’s fitting since they are funding everything now!!
These people are just TACKY morons!! I swear if I make it the next four years without having a stroke it will be by the grace of G-d!!!

The news I heard this morning was that QEII actually requested it because the Ipod she already had was audio only. At least he could have gotten one that was all blinged out. The kicker is that it is full of his speech.., I mean his teleprompter’s speeches.

I hope you’re right, although the request story sounds like the kind of thing a gracious monarch might say in a situation like this.

Another story says she also got a signed score from a Broadway composer.

I’ll say this. Obama didn’t do as badly as Leslie Nielsen.

instead of electronics…how about a new “queen sized” bed

Hell, I friended the Queen on Facebook. It’s just not that big a deal. Only problem is, she’s always posting about what a drag Prince Philip is, and she’s always sending British Gifts. One more damned Scotch Egg and I’ll barf.
Re the iPod, major gaffe. QE2 wanted the new iPhone, and instead the Obamas got her an iPod Shuffle. What a load of crap! Now we Americans look like a bunch of total loser dorks.

The European bed sizes are different…the Britiish sheets wouldn’t fit!
.
Given how well the Administration has vetted everyting else, the bed was probably second on the list, but they couldn’t sneak it through customs.
