Hey Gordon are you enjoying your Big Mac?

Barack Obama made news last week by giving an almost insulting gift to the Prime Minister of England, Gordon Brown. Gordon Brown presented Obama a pen holder made from wood from the HMS Resolute's sistership. In return Obama gave him something unique and hard to aquire... 25 DVDs from AFI's Top 100 films. Can you say tacky? I cant belive this guy is actually is said to have style. I enjoy to gift and receive DVDs as much as anyone but come on. Browns gift was thoughtfull, symbolic, historic and unique. Obama's gift is totally outclassed. The HMS Gannet was the sistership to the HMS Resolute from which the Presidential desk was carved and given as a symbol of friendship. DVDs on the other hand are quite easily accuired. Perhapse on Gordon Brown's next visit Obama will treat him to a McDonalds hamburger.
