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

He (Brown) had put clearly great thought into giving the U.S. President lavish gifts to signify Britain's 'special relationship' with the U.S.

During his historic trip to Washington, Gordon Brown gave Barack Obama an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet - once called HMS President.

The unique present delighted Mr Obama because oak from the Gannet's sister ship, HMS Resolute, was carved to make a desk that already takes place in the Oval Office in the White House, after being presented by Britain to the US in 1880.

For despite being leader of the world's most bountiful nation, President Obama handed over nothing more thought-provoking than 25 classic American films on DVD.
1. Citizen Kane
2. The Godfather
3. Casablanca
4. Raging Bull
5. Singing In The Rain
6. Gone With The Wind
7. Lawrence Of Arabia
8. Schindler's List
9. Vertigo
10. The Wizard Of Oz
11. City Lights
12. The Searchers
13. Star Wars: Episode IV
14. Psycho
15. 2001: A Space Odyssey
16. Sunset Boulevard
17. The Graduate
18. The General
19. On The waterfront
20. It's A Wonderful Life
21. China Town
22. Some Like It Hot
23. The Grapes Of Wrath
24. ET: The Extra Terrestrial
25. To Kill A Mocking Bird.

In addition, Mr Brown and his wife showered gifts on the Obama children giving Sasha and Malia an outfit each from Topshop and six children's books by British authors which are shortly to be published in America.

In return, the Obamas gave the Browns two models of the presidential helicopter, Marine One, to take home to sons Fraser and John.

LOL xD

this is classic hilarity

pffft.... i don't give a spoon about the british government anyway...... they've fudgeed the nation up enough as it is (thatcher caused plenty of damage to south wales alone by stopping the mining industry)

Eh, he's got plenty of time to be watching classic US films alright...

Its not pen holder that is important..but the fact that it is made of wood from one of the few ships in the 1800s that did NOT transport slaves.  A similar gift was given to USA president in 1890, but the wood was made into a desk... It might even be the same desk President Obama signed his stimulus package which is the same desk where President Clinton got his package stimulated!!!!!!!!

Now..did  that stupid sounding pen holder actually took some time and thought to create and give.  Obama's gift ain't realy spoon compared to that.  :(



Obama keeps picking people for his cabinet, then wee find out they don't pay taxes.

Chicago Tribune newspaper said the black citizens of Illinois that they asked feel that Obama should be on Mount Rushmore...but last year when obama was visting Mt. Rushmore a park ranger asked if he could see his face up there, obama replied
“I don’t think my ears would fit. There’s only so much rock up there.”

Since then i think there are many more personnel in the armed forces who are joining that campaign.

Washington, in their infinite wisdon, had $250,000 excess in budget for welfare...they have about 250,000 people who receive government food stamps...so to clear the budget they sent all 250,000 people a $1 food stamp to help them out
