Obamas Give Queen Elizabeth an iPod
Ponca City, We love you writes "What did the Obamas give Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday when they arrived at Buckingham Palace? An Obama aide reported the queen was given an iPod loaded with video and photos of her 2007 trip to the United States, as well as songs and accessories. She also received a rare songbook signed by the composer Richard Rodgers. The gift issue had come up after Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited the White House last month. Mr. Brown gave Mr. Obama a pen holder carved from the timber of an anti-slave ship, receiving in return a DVD box set of American movies, igniting a torrent of criticism in the British press. According to news reports, the queen gave the Obamas a silver-framed signed photograph — a gift she gives to all visiting dignitaries."
In the past 4 months there has been way too much American politics on this website. I know slashdot is based in America but not all its readers are and it's getting such poor quality.
No one gives a shit that Obama sucks at gift giving, not even in England however many newspapers try to hype it up. Fucking stupid.
...but not in real life, cause you'd get your ass beaten, wouldn't ya pussies?
Yeah, better to hide behind a screen and keyboard when proving you're a toughguy who isn't afraid of the consequences of his actions. You're so pathetic as to not even use your login name.
That's why you troglodytes are irrelevant, and that's why you're going to feel more and more 'oppressed' as white privilege dissolves into equality. The best part of it is, racism is being selected against in our population (by mixed-race children becoming far more common), so you're not only irrelevant, you're obsolete.
Now be good little monkeys and keep your shit-slinging and masturbation over in your corner where it belongs.
It goes to show the lack of class in the man and his administration. The two gifts mentioned from the British were classy gifts, and were well thought out.
The gifts from the Obama administration don't have a clue what class is.
Expect more of the same until we impeach and fire this clown of a president.
I hope once the Queen realizes how quickly her new iPod will become outdated and unsupported she'll take measures to shut down Apple. Consumers need to be rescued from Apple's throwaway-your-expensive-iPod-to-get-the-new-features modus operandi.
I know this has been modded as "Funny", but when I think about my ancestors getting the living shit kicked out of them and being forced to work all day and then being feed nasty food, I just don't really feel like laughing. When I think about my grandmother being spat on as a little girl just because of the color of her skin, I don't really feel like laughing. When I think about all the times I was called "Nigger Boy" as a kid, and then told to "ignore it" or "laugh it off", I don't really feel like laughing.
But yeah:
"Yuk! Yuk! Yuk! Have Black People send ME Money! Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!"
Actually, now that I think about it: "You're an asshole."
You can take the Obamas out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the Obamas. :P
