British prime minister Brown, the first European leader to visit Obama since his Jan. 20 inauguration, presented Obama with uniquely historic gifts symbolizing America's relationship with England.....
LINK

"The first of which is a pen holder fashioned from the oak timber of HMS Gannet, a Navy vessel that served on anti-slavery missions off Africa.

Another treasure given to Obama is a framed commissioning paper for HMS Resolute, a Royal Navy ship that came to symbolize British-American goodwill when it was rescued by the U.S. from icebergs and given to Queen Victoria. It is the sister ship of the HMS Gannet.

Finally, Brown gave Obama a first edition of Martin Gilbert's seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill, whose World War II partnership with President Franklin Roosevelt symbolized the U.S.-Anglo alliance.

For Sasha and Malia, Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister's wife, gave each an outfit from Topshop, a British chain of clothing stores, and selected six children's books by British authors which have yet to be published in the U.S."

And in return.....

"President Obama gave the Prime Minister a "special collector's box" of DVDs featuring ET, Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz, and First Lady Michelle Obama presented the prime minister's two boys with toy helicopters modeled after Marine One."

Apparently the Obamas sent one of their lackys on a $35 shopping spree to impress the Prime minister. I wonder if the Dvds were previously viewed and well the choppers were probably Whitehouse freebies. Good going chosen one. Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Rolling Eyes


In a related note its been reported that Prime Minister Brown is kicking himself for giving historical heirlooms as gifts when he coulda just brought the complete Monty Python series.
Laughing

Whats even funnier is the Obamas werent even aware that those Dvds have the wrong region code for England. Laughing Laughing Laughing :lol

O'B could have gone to the Universal Studios web site & ordered "Bates Motel" bath towels for less money.

The prime minister's boys probably loved the marine helicopters much more than any clothes as presents.

Oh ya and im sure the prime minister spends many late nights watching those 'Classic" and historic Rolling Eyes pieces of hollywood trivia. What an embarrasment the Obama's are. Total lack of class.

I read the link you provided and it made me sick. Obama is so concerned to becomes friends with muslim radicals, he is insulting our best source of help. Obama has no clue what he is doing. I still think he was solely elected on his celebrity factor.
