Obama the big spender? Not always.

At least he is cheap when it comes to gifts for some.

My apologies to our friends in England for this rather odd selection of items given. You English aren't a bad bunch. There was that time when you burned our capital, but what the heck, we needed a new one anyway.

Oooops. I wonder if they were used or new:har:

Ever seen the movie "Bushido Blade" ? :rotfl:

I read about that in the Times, it seems the Browns took the time out to think what would be nice to buy two girls.

Obama's looks like she at the last minute got an aide to pick them up out of the gift shop.

Pretty poor if you ask me. Personally I don't think Obama really thinks much of the UK or Gordon Brown....I might not have liked Bush but I think he genuinely did respect the UK and like it even if he ignored advice sometimes.

Or maybe it is just Obama's lack of international experience that this shows....

Hm call me childish but they way he has been with UK & GB is putting me off him.

Probably a few porn titles in the collection I bet :hmmm:







A man goes into a library and asks for a book on suicide.

The librarian says; "F**k off, you won't bring it back."

Does 25 DVD really stimulate the economy? From what I have read the whole trip was handled poorly.

Yeah.... Hello. How are you? Trip was nice. Where is the bathroom. Goodbye:88) Years as staunch Allies washed away with a Woody Allen DVD collection. :88) BTW, Barry wants to visit the Queen. Does she need any DVD's:06: The whole visit was just an embarassment.

And the best caption for the picture is this

Obama : "Yea I gave him my Woody Allen collection and the kids got a couple of plastic choppers..."

Brown : "You maybe many things Obama but only I'm supposed to be the tight fisted Scot!!!"
