Obama Gives Queen iPod Loaded With His Speeches
First he gave the British PM a box of crappy DVD’s that won’t play on European machines. Now he’s given the Queen of England an iPod.
Thankfully, he opted for an engraved version and at least had the forethought to upload a few things like…
- Photos from the Queen’s 2007 White House State Visit
- Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown, Va., Visit
- Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond, Va., Visit
- Video from the Queen’s 1957 Jamestown Visit
- Video from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown Visit
- Video from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond Visit
- Photos from President Obama’s Inauguration
- Audio of then-state senator Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and
- Audio of President Obama 2009 Inauguration Address
I bet her majesty can’t wait to listen to Obama’s speeches on her shiny new iPod.
Unfortunately, Obama’s crack research team failed to uncover the fact that the Queen already has an iPod. But even if she didn’t, who the fuck gives the Queen of England an iPod? Is he serious?
What else does president Obama have in his gift bag this trip? Is he going to hand out a few Nintendo Wii’s and maybe a Macbook or two as well?
I bet the Russian president would get a kick out of playing Call of Duty: World At War.

Commander In Cheap: Obama’s Crappy Gifts To Gordon Brown
President Obama treated our dear British friends the way someone treats a relative they can’t stand but must visit once a year.
British PM Gordon Brown was treated like disposable ally on his first trip to Obama’s America. First Obama snubbed him on the usual official rose garden press conference that are best friends usually get.
Then he made all of us look like assholes with the lame ass gift he gave. He gave Brown (who’s not a film buff) a boxed set of 25 classic American movies on DVD. Wow, he must have had that rushed from Amazon.com.
Michelle Obama gave Gordon Brown’s kids a plastic toy replica of Marine One from the White House gift store. That’s really too egregious for me to even comment on.
Here’s what Gordon Brown gave to Obama:
Mr Brown’s gifts included an ornamental desk pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, once named HMS President.
Mr Obama was so delighted he has already put it in pride of place in the Oval Office on the Resolute desk which was carved from timbers of Gannet’s sister ship, HMS Resolute.
Another treasure given to the U.S. President was the framed commission for HMS Resolute, a vessel that came to symbolise Anglo-US peace when it was saved from ice packs by Americans and given to Queen Victoria.
Finally, Mr Brown gave a first edition set of the seven-volume classic biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert.
With all the wealth Obama is stealing from the American taxpayers you’d think he could of at least spent a little on our British friends. How tacky is that?
