Offensive, Lazy, or Just Plain Stupid?


Wasn't it already lame enough when all the Obamas could come up with were plastic helicopters and incorrectly formatted DVD's for our British friends?  Surely he wouldn't make the same mistakes again with our strongest ally... right?

WRONG!

During his pointless trip to Europe this week, he had the opportunity to repair some of these recent mistakes in his meeting with the Queen of England.  As expected, with such a momentous occasion pending, careful thought was put in to what would be gifted to her majesty on behalf of the United States.  President Obama and the entire White House staff made certain they they chose a unique and meaningful present for this event.  They didn't want to mess up again... right?

WRONG AGAIN!

Unfortunately,  after several days to deliberate the appropriate management of this task, the best thing the administration could come up with for the Queen is (drum roll, please)... an iPod.  Yes, an iPod!  Making matters more absurd is the fact that the queen already has an iPod.  It's even public knowledge what type of device she owns.  Couldn't the president just have done a simple google search to check up on this (especially considering how tech savvy he claims to be)?

In all fairness, I probably shouldn't expect him to be very proficient at the act of giving anyway, being that his entire career has been based on the act of "taking."  Also, I should just get used to the fact that the next four years will be quite embarassing on many, many levels.  If only that was the sole concern America has to worry about with Barry O!

Note:  There will be no blogging from yours truly for the next few days.  I am going to the Grand Canyon for a few days.
(Gasp, did he just say he is going on vacation in the middle of the recession?  How inconsiderate and vain!)
Yes, I did!  I am not participating in the "recession."  Peace out, homeys!
