What is wrong with Wal-Mart anyway?
What would you have gifted the women? The blood of your first born? What exactly is expected during a meeting with a queen of a nation that is simply a friend of ours...
Philip is a bit of a racist - he's probably wondering why one of the servants is running around the house on the loose, or he's expecting Obama to serve dinner.
Just saw on Drudge that this is real - and that the Queen did already have an iPod.
How did this happen that we ended up with such a clueless dope for a President?
What happened to the late great Country of the USA?
Rezistik, do you really consider it "hip" to give the queen something as common as an Ipod?
It'd be one thing to give an Ipod to a teenager, if they didn't have one. It's another thing to give it to the queen who's worth a berjillion dollars and therefore already has one.
As we saw with Gordon Brown's gifts to Obama, it's appropriate to give something of historical significance to a world leader. Something that has value ASIDE from its intrinsic worth.
A gift between two world leaders should be above "regifting" don't you think.
Well...aaaahhh...that's nice too...
She's not our Queen. We don't owe her any respect beyond a military ally and a trade partner. As far as I'm concerned, he could buy her a subscription to the Washington Post.
It's all ceremonial. This would be okay whether Obama OR bush did it.
That would be funnier if I wasn't so sure it was possible...

Thank you...the gift is unimportant...
Hell...didn't we fight some king or queen way back when so we didn't have to give them gifts and honor them?
What might be a nice gift for a young person is a crappy gift for the queen.
It's a nice gift.
Aren't you lefties always squealing about how we should be better than everyone else, when it comes to interrogating terrorists? Hypocritically, you excuse Obama being worse than everybody else when it comes to foreign relations. Why the double standard?
Somehow I don't think the queen is as narcissistic as Obama so that she doesn't think she has to walk around with movies of herself all the time.

What is wrong with the signed songbook from Richard Rogers?
That might be a good gift. Is she a Rogers and Hammerstein fan? Is she an autograph hound?
Probably should have kept the Ipod he shoplifted from KMart and just given her the book?
This sounds more like something Obama would do.
Either way, the iPod and signed songbook is kind of lame but then again what would we expect.
That's our Barry.
It was a nice gift.
If she is a fan of Rogers and Hammerstein it would be a nice gift IMO.
If Obama gave it to her because he thought she should like it R & H it was lame.
Not only that it shows that Hawk is obsessed with the Royals.
For those who think we owe them nothing, that does not mean we should show no respect as through the respect to her we show respect to her people and that covers England, Scotland, Ireland and lots of other nations under their alliance.
There comes a time to get on with the future and bury the past, when you can see things have changed. Now is not 1776. Consider that this statement comes from the descendant of men who died fighting in the Revolution and War of 1812 before you decide on a glib reply.
If Obama would have done that you would criticize him for not giving a thoughtful gift, but instead just going to a store.
Not even close.
And is there some anti-British sentiment coming from Obama due to Kenya's history as a British Colony? Some grudge there?
I couldn't believe the cancelled photo-op with Brown and the tacky DVD-boxed set gift of "ET" and other crap... Don't you think he'd have watched that by now if he was so inclined? And now an i-pod for the Queen? -nice touch, lol
These anti-British stunts should tell you whether Obama, in his heart, considers himself more Kenyan-African, or more American. A REAL American wouldn't have sent-back the bust of Churchill that was in the White House and insult our closest ally.
Maybe he should check his weird hangups and do his job in a professional manner instead- this stuff is getting pretty embarassing.
