President Obama, God bless him, is quickly becoming the guy you have to think twice about inviting to the party. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that he’s going to pull the nation out of economic quicksand and he’s Black Jesus (Bleesus?) and all that but damn! This is one leader of the free world you do NOT want buying you a present.
Remember his first meeting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown? He got the PM some DVDs! Now, PM Brown is America’s most loyal global ally and the one guy that Obama can count on to have his back in any world crisis. Brown knows this, so when they first met he went to some trouble finding a gift for Obama and eventually settled on a pen holder carved from the wood of an anti-slavery ship. If they were dating, this is the moment Obama would recount as the moment he knew he’d found Mr. Right.
Oh, and the DVDs? They don’t work in British DVD players! So Brown gives Obama a piece of history that would make the experts at Antiques Roadshow bust their heads open slipping around on their own drool, and Obama gives Brown a pile of useless plastic. Thanks Prez, I’ll throw these into the blue recycling bin.
So now our President is the laughing stock of the world leader gift-giving community and is on his way to meet with French President Sarkozy and Russian President Medvedev. I bet Sarkozy’s executive assistant recently received a phone call from America asking what size boxers he wears. And Medvedev’s assistant probably got a similar call asking if they like their candles scented with lavender or cucumber melon. Hey Obama, don’t forget to take off the “3 for $10” sticker.
