No offense intended Stumason. Please don't take me that way.

Its the idea of treating somebody as being superior to anyone else I find a problem with. I've never considered the UK to be anything but our staunchest Allies and Friends, so I don't want to come off wrong. Sorry for that. We are all equal.

I have so much trouble submitting to authority and the rituals that go with it, I had to start my own business to get around my aversion. Respect is to be earned and not expected or required is all I'm saying. I don't even reprimand my own employees and instead reward them for good work with extra money. I bow to no man and expect no man to bow to me. They never quit and I hope that is why. I won't even use titles which has got me into problems I admit.

Sorry again and I should think more before I post.

Yep, and had Bush done something like this, you know he'd have been drawn and quartered here on ATS for being "stupid" and "retarded".

The iPod was stupid. The book of music was classy. Looks like Obamie got it half right this time; not like the DVD collection he gave Brown.

You criticize with such ease while exhibiting your own extreme arrogance and feeling of superiority in your own post.

Once again proof that both sides are the same.

All men are created equal is a fact. To bad we can't seem to treat each other as such. I'm guilty as well to my own shame.

The game plan is working. We are at each others throats just as the true enemy knew we would be. All hail Partisanship.

Oh, be quiet. You're just pissed that you can't tell a DVD from a DVD player. You just keep going on and on about --- nothing.

If you don't like Obama, and anything he stands for, say it again for the millionth time. Bashing is all you want to do anyway. So, Centurion, have it your way. Feed hamburger to your army on your shield.

Otherwise, as has been said, giving the Queen a gift of memories that she may have been fond of, was not a bad idea. If Obama had written her a letter, you would be criticizing the stationary, and the pen to used to write it.

Heh...yeah I know that Drudge didn't write the story.
Drudge Report doesn't usually write articles they host them.

Most are heavily slanted to the right, including clever headers Drudge creates to drive the point. The site is heavily trafficked, insanely really considering, and most conservatives take hold of the leads he pushes out for them to hammer certain issues home.

This was featured prominently on it's front page all day and I don't doubt that is where most people would have found it as opposed to searching the Telegraph.

By the numbers the odds are in Drudges favor considering it's popularity.

Even the Telegraph recognizes that.

FYI.

You mean this



right?

That's a sleek little piece of Machinery right there. Oh Wow 120 GB of Storage... Plus it's got video playback... None of which is Available in a 6Gb version...(plus the display has been upgraded for smoother video play in Newer Mp3 players)

Also loading it with Personal Photos and Videos should mean something as well.

So he personalized a Bada** portable data device (Hell I have a few, and my PC doesn't even have 120 GB (running Old-school here circa 2001...) so it's really NOT a bad gift.

The DVD's were a little stiff (though 25 x 5 =$125 so it was a HIGH END DVD box set... not some wal-mart $15 dvd set) but you live and learn.

Hell the Man also gave her a rare Autographed (By Richard Rodgers) Rodgers and Hammerstein play. That is a piece of America, right there... I guess that's why you all keep ignoring the mentions of it.

Anywho, You guys can spit on a 120gb video Ipod all you want... I'll take a free one anyday...

Off Topic for a second: Those that Hate the president this passionately will always respond with disgust no matter what the man does.

Here's my advice... We had to suffer through their crap for 8 years with Bush... Now our Guys in Charge, and they want us to still suffer their whining...

Why not just ignore all the whiny a**es and see exactly what our 'votes for change' turns out to be like in 4 years.

If their right so be it... Let them beat their drum. If not... So be it.

Don't gloat. just bask in the glow that in the end, you were right!

Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 United States visit to the Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed signed photograph of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh - apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries.

The Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she bought in 2005 at the suggestion of Prince Andrew.

iPods rule. They make the best gift. The President made an excellent choice. If you don't have an ipod your just losing out or really just left out behind in the cold. Follow the crowd.
