Default Obama gave Queen Elizabeth 2 and iPod?

I know some will think that giving the Queen of England an iPod is a "hip" gift, but I think he could have done a bit better.
Obama's iPod gift includes 40 Broadway show tunes

That's not as embarrasing as the gift he gave Gordon Brown a few weeks ago. Brown showed up with some pretty cool stuff for the White House, and Obama gave him 25 DVDs that won't play in Britain:

Name a more quintessentially American gift. It was the perfect gift.

Who says it had to be an "American" gift? I just think that being the President of the US required him to do better and consider that he was going to be in the presence of a true Monarch...albeit a very old one.

How about if he gave her something with simply more class than a gift you normally give to a teenager.

If you guys are implying Obama gives crappy gifts, just consider the automakers and banks. They love his presents.

He should have given her a Las Vegas or Miami condo, I hear they are going for about the same as an Ipod.

It would have been perhaps more appropriate to have given Gordo a V-Rod (engine developed by Porsche) and the Queen an Buell 1125r (engine built by Rotax). Now those are American!

It's not like H-D didn't have ample time to design a decent motor for itself and Buell.. can't blame Porche or Rotax on this as much as I would like to. H-D's R&D department wasn't really able or allowed to deviate too much from Willie G's want to keep it the way it is. That thinking hurts H-D in the long run.

When the Queen comes to Canada we let her drop the puck to start a hockey game, give her a stick and a pair of skates, and teach her how to check someone into the boards.

So she could shoot up a McDonalds, in the best American tradition.

Maybe that is the point. The US could do a lot of things itself, but chooses to outsource for convenience.

Dude (comma) I get laid whenever I want to get laid - that's an advantage to being married.

Last month I was at a Bass Pro Shops and there were three groups looking at guns. One looked like hunters, the other looked like maybe off-duty cops, the other was two young jerks from the hood. I'll bet all three of them had no problem getting what they wanted. It's like buying candy and this isn't even Nevada. What regulations we have are window dressing. Hell, why don't we legalize heroin too...if you want Americans to suffer? Great family values .

If you ever happen to find yourself in Springfield, MO the original Bass Pro Shops is pretty neat. The stuffed bears scared the hell out of my daughter when she was younger.

So, Obama is going to try to take away your Smith and Wesson? You're running in FOX mode . Remember this conversation in eight years.

And...
Henry Waxman is one of the few enemies of waste in government that we have. He has been that way since the day he entered office. He sure could use a nose job though.
