After Brown presented Obama with a pen holder crafted from the timbers of the 19th century British warship HMS President (whose sister ship, HMS Resolute, provided the wood for the Oval Office's desk), Obama offered up ... 25 DVDs of American movie classics.

C'mon. Which would you rather have, a lousy pen holder, or copies of Girls Gone Wild I-XXV?

Poste Ante deletia... already reported. Mainly by right-wing cranks.

The bust was "on loan" to the Bush family and it is well known that each president likes to put his own touch on the White House decor. The podium chat was never actually scheduled. However the gifts from the Obamas to the Browns were pretty crappy... put a little thought into it next time guys, it helps the 'diplomacy' angle.

They never explained the material of the DVDs though. They could very well have been hand crafted from early 19th century Amish furniture.

The Times, Independent and Telegraph are "right-wing cranks"?

They are in the Hopenchange era.

Yip yip yip!

Google searched "obama disses brown" and the 1st 5 hits were all far right nutjob sites and the 6th was civfanatics.

Yes, right-wing cranks. Your bringing it up here reinforces that appearance.

That is an amazingly convincing research method.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, what a clown.

He's almost as bad as the people who keep worshipping him.

I am fine with his spending in general.

I dislike his way of dealing with the banks and the economic crisis.

I am disappointed with his diplomatic ability so far.

Fine, the infamous "liberal" media is attacking their saint and master. Whatever helps your sex life.

He did pretty well in Canada. Couldn't say that was a tough crowd though. I don't think anyone thought about gifts, let alone counted coup over them.

Did anyone care about the crappy gift that Bush gave Brown? Can we use this as conclusive proof that the right wing is irredeemably ****ed?
