Yes, Obama disses America’s BFF (Best Friend Forever), Great Brittan. You might already already know this, Gordon Brown gave Dopey gifts included an ornamental desk pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, once named HMS President, he also gave Obama a first edition set of the seven-volume classic biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert.
What did Dopey, leader of the free world, the most powerful man in the riches country in the world give Gordon Brown? Was it a bronze statue of the old west cast by Fredrick Remington? Perhaps a Signed First Edition Autobiography of Ronald Reagan? Nope he gave our biggest and longest standing Ally a 25 DVD boxset that you could pick up at any Best Buy and to add insult to injury Michelle Obama give the Brown children models on Marine One that could be picked up at the White House gift shop! These people have no class at all. Oh well maybe it had a copy of ‘Amistad’ and ‘Patriot’?
To top that off Gordon Brown isn’t even a film buff and as another British blogger pointed out, “does the American President not think we have cinema and DVD stores across the Atlantic?” I have to wonder if Obama knows that the UK is not even Region 1 so the DVD’s if gave won’t even play on their players over there.
Psst Obama, the UK is Region 2. American DVD’s are Region 1.
This is a slap in the Brits face and a embarrassment to America … well should we really be surprised? Obama is becoming a embarrassment to America. In addition to the the pathetic gift and the gift shop trinket Obama went on to snub Brown aon a press conference … guess Obama didn’t have time to set up his teleprompter.
One can only wonder what Obama plans on giving the Queen … might I suggest a Obama Bobblehead.
And the Brits are not impressed and rightfully so …
