We’re going to debate which gift (bomber jacket or films) is more thoughtful or classy? Really? Twenty-five American made movies versus a bomber jacket. Toss-up for me.

And Brown will probably give Obama’s gift away too.

And: Who am I? Well, I think I signed up last year. I visit this site daily. And I only post in threads I disagree with. I hope that’s alright.

Your missing the point…or, you chose not to notice it. It’s about appearances. Obama did not do a good job with this one, get over it. He does make mistakes sometimes you know, he is not perfect. Gordon Brown has been a less than stellar PM, but he is still the PM of one of our oldest and most important allies. Obama treated him like he was the President For Life from some Banana Republic.

This is amplified by all of the rhetoric from Candidate Obama about how he will restore our standing in the world. He cannot even handle a visit from the PM of the UK, a very friendly ally? How is going to “dazzle” the leaders that hate our guts?
