Are you kidding me??!!!
Our dear Mr. President, you cannot be serious? You gave an 83 year old woman an iPod?
With his first official visit to Buckingham Palace last week, our extremely classy president gave Queen Elizabeth II an iPod filled with video footage of her 2007 visit to the US and some of Obama's favorite show tunes, including songs from Cats and The King and I.
I'm sorry; maybe I'm just letting this get to me a little too much. But, come on Obama, you cannot be serious! Where were your aids to tell you this was a stupid gift to give the Queen of England, someone who has bee in power for over 50 years? A woman who is 83 years old!!!
All I can honestly say is I'm truly embarrassed with our president right now. At least the Queen can be nice and say she was "delighted" with the gift.
Let this be a lesson, Obama. You are our president. You represent all of us when you venture off to these foreign lands to visit other respected leaders. If you are going to be our leader, you need to start acting like it and not acting like a 14 year old theater student from Hollywood.
Grow up, fast.
