Obama's present to the Queen is.....


President Obama's gift to Queen Elizabeth II: an iPod, with video and photos of her 2007 visit to the U.S.
In return, the Queen gives the president a silver framed photo of herself and her husband, as she does all visiting dignitaries. Exchange happens during a private
Exchange during
private tea at Buckingham Palace.
Crooks and Liars:
President Obama and Gordon Brown held a presser and he was asked if the US is to blame for the economic crisis. He said it was a time to look forward.
If you look at the sources of this crisis, the US certainly has some accounting to do with respect of a regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that had taken place in the global financial system,” he said.
He went on: “At this point I am less interested in identifying blame than in fixing the problem. I think we have taken some very aggressive steps in the United States to do so.” It was a relaxed, totally commanding, Clintonesque performance.

The President gave the Queen an IPOD now she can spent some quality time with Wells to learn how it works. It was nice he set it up already for her to use. Yes Michelle gave the Queen a huge, Lady Diana would be proud. Notice how the protest were about the UK not Obama. No effigy burning of Obama like they did with Bush. Obama will do well as the fomular to success is respect, manners and thank you. That's all it takes to win friends and to bad George W. Bush didn't learn that as a child. Even the Queen thought Bush was an idiot and disrespectfull and Laura was a chip wife who smiled like the Joker. Remember when PM Brown visited Bush and Bush served him meat only knowing he was a vegetarian, while the Queen is serving both meat and vegetarian meals. Barbara Bush gave Putin baked cookies and he tossed them out the plan afraid to eat them.
