re: #689 albusteve
my answer is #649…why do keep asking?…and Bush retired, BO is his own man eh?
Bush was president at the time he made that gift to Brown in 2007. So if Obamas gift was such a terrible faux-pas, why not Bush’s gift as well? As with any gift it seems to me one could value or disparage both of those gifts, there’s nothing especially terrible about Obama’s.
