Why did Obama and Hillary both embarrass us so badly this week?
Unfortunately for us we couldn't count on the Obama Administration to simply destroy our economy and be happy with that, no they had a week of Foreign Relations errors as well!
After the embarrassment of President Obama returning a bust of Winston Churchill to the Brits, (something seen as an insult to the British people), President Obama met this week with Gordon Brown the British Prime Minister who upon their first meeting gave President Obama the following thoughtful gifts:
An ornamental desk pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, once named HMS President.
The framed commission for HMS Resolute, a vessel that came to symbolize Anglo-US peace when it was saved from ice packs by Americans and given to Queen Victoria.
and finally
A first edition set of the seven-volume classic biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert.
Now all of these wonderful gifts were obviously well thought out and given with great respect to President Obama. However, it became obvious that that respect was a one way street when President Obama in return gave a DVD boxed set of classic American movies in spite of the fact that Prime Minister Gordon Brown is not a movie buff! As if to add insult to injury, Michelle Obama also gave PM Gordon Brown plastic toy replicas of Marine One from the White House gift shop to give to his kids. What an embarrassment!
Not to be outdone of course, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov a "Reset Button" that was supposed to be a backhanded slap at President Bush.
all of it here.
