I'm Starting To Wonder How Barkey Ever Got 2 Kids.

I swear, I'm starting to think this guy could F---up a wet dream.

I knew he was clueless and vacuous but come on....

Or is this part of some grand plan to piss-off all of our allies and endear us to the Arab world?

Obama's blockbuster gift for Brown to reaffirm the 'special relationship': 25 DVDs

As he headed back home from Washington, Gordon Brown must have rummaged through his party bag with disappointment.
Because all he got was a set of DVDs. Barack Obama, the leader of the world's richest country, gave the Prime Minister a box set of 25 classic American films - a gift about as exciting as a pair of socks.

Fair enough on the helicopter part, always a popular choice with small boys; but Marine One? It’s not as though anyone needs reminding that Barack Obama is President or that he has his own helicopter. Short of giving the boys Action Man models of her own husband smiting the evil forces of neoconservatism, Mrs Obama’s gesture could not have been more solipsistic or more inherently dismissive of Mrs Brown.

Not only did she demonstrate that she spent approximately three seconds contemplating the needs of the Brown boys (having an aide pop to the White House gift shop for a piece of merchandising does not imply a great deal of thought),
