   That gift is destined for the British Museum….dumpster.

    WWBD?

    President and Mrs. Bush gave Her Majesty a bronze statuette “High Desert Princess” with a personal inscription on the bottom of the base. It is a replica of the original life size statue that is located in front of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, Texas.

    President and Mrs. Bush gave The Prince Philip an exclusive sterling silver eagle box by Tiffany & Co. with personal inscription on the inside lid.

    President and Mrs. Bush gave Their Majesties a leather presentation box filled with a collection of documents from the National Archives. One of the items was a copy of an original letter from President Roosevelt to her father, King George, written in 1938. There were also photos from previous royal visits and a DVD of the footage from the Queen’s visit to the United States when she was Princess Elizabeth in 1951.

    Good thing we no longer have a dunce in the White House, eh?

    BHO does not get that he represents the country, he believes he represents himself. Therefore I think in his mind he will always be more important than the office. Visiting foreign heads of state, it seems he thinks it’s like going to a BBQ back in the hood. It is not the protocol of the gift, but his mere presence there that is the gift itself. If he had pulled this one off well, I would have dismissed Prime Minister Brown’s gift gaffe, although I would have blamed the dvd giving as on the job training, but at least I would have to give him credit of learning. This guy is either so incredibly in love with himself it defies logic, or he is doing it on purpose. Either way this is disturbing.

    I’ve decided to let Sonofdy off the hook. The reason the iPod and book have special meaning to the Queen is that when she and Prince Phillip were, in her words, “courting”, their song was “People Will Say We’re In Love” from Oklahoma and it’s her favorite musical.

    But do yourselves a favor…when you are finished telling all of us about the proper protocol when meeting the Wueen of England and what constitutes the correctgift, maybe you should then go out and start telling all those British newspapers like the Times and such how best to meet the Queen and what type of gift is appropriate as well.

    It seems they have the same opinion as we do. But then, you guys always know better, being as how you are always our intellectual superiors.

    If it wasn’t a big deal, then it wouldn’t be being made into a big deal.

    Major Garrett reported this on Bret Bair’s Fox evening news last evening. He only said the Queen asked for or requested an iPod but gave no other details.
    I saw nothing in that Washington Times article about such a request.
    If there’s any truth to the claim, it could only be explained by the Queen’s supreme civility. You know she knew how Brown’s gift went over and perhaps wanted to go easy on the Obamas by making it seem their first choice was acceptable.

    Yeah. The Times is just KILLING the Obamas.

    It is usually a breach of protocol to touch the Queen. But as the two women stood side by side, chatting about their height difference, she put her hand on the back of Mrs Obama, who did the same for a few moments. Before she departed, Mrs Obama told the Queen: “I really enjoyed our meeting.”

    The warm conclusion to the Obamas’ Royal meeting was matched by the rest of the US President’s engagement, which was both informal and affectionate.
