I know this is old, old news but for the life of me I cannot understand why Obama decided an Ipod was a good gift to give the Queen of England! Seriously, what was going through his head? It's not the fact that an Ipod is a bad gift to give somebody but the Queen is not just a "somebody". She's a Queen for crying out loud! And don't give me the "But she already HAS everything else," spiel. As the leader of our country he should have given her a gift that represents us. He could have given her something that commemorates a part of U.S. history or something. His gift should have shown her his respect and admiration for her. I mean, why do I even has to EXPLAIN this? She's the Queen of England!!! Almost ANYTHING would have been better than a freakin' Ipod!!!
But the thing that's bothering me the most is how the news media isn't even talking about it. Well, unless you count this idiot

I nearly vomited when I read this article!!!
I can GUARANTEE that if Bush had given her a gift like that the news would be all over it--calling him a redneck, a moron, or whatever. But Obama does it and no one says boo. Not to mention the fact that Michelle Obama broke protocol by HUGGING the Queen. You're not supposed to touch the Queen at all--even little kids know that!
(EDIT: Ok, so I've now read that the Queen herself initiated the hug-- if that's true then it was okay for her to do that.)
Michelle probably meant well but it's just the fact that they seemed ill-informed or that they just chose to ignore the rules altogether. The British people love and admire their royalty. Pretty much everything they do is "For the Queen". To me it just shows utter ignorance and lack of respect on the part of the Obamas.
So Obama is God apparently. He can do whatever he wants and all the millions of people who love him will just fall down and worship him. He dons all the magazine covers and even has collector cards in his honor(it's true, we sell them at Target). Every freakin' day those dumb news entertainment shows talk about "What did Michelle wear today" and stuff. I know that in the past a president and his family have always been considered newsworthy but this time it has risen to epic and frightening proportions. They're treated as super, duper, mega-tron celebrities!!! It's madness!
I really don't like where this is going. Doesn't anyone else see how this is a bad thing?

Uh ya I totally agree with you on this sister! I read about it online and couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing! They want her to be DOWN with it and get funky. Great show of what our country deems as acceptable to give a QUEEN! But he's the Anti-Christ so he can do no wrong since people just think he's a savior.(stupid people should open up their eyes and see the light) SOTT baby!
I'm just also worried that being treated like a celebrity will get to his head or something. Presidents should not be celebrites! He's got enough stuff to worry about.
Did you hear that he also gave a bunch of DVDs of American movies to the Prime Minister? DVDs? WTF? I couldn't be more disgusted. I am NOT impressed with Obama at all, and I swear, as soon as I say that people think I'm some redneck or neocon or something, when I'm not. I just am not impressed. He hasn't a shred of understanding about foreign relations judging from his actions thus far. In just 113 or so days, he has done quite a bit to make us look like a bunch of jerks -- as if the rest of the world didn't think that about us already.
