It's the thoughtlessness that counts...

Hi Everybody,

It looks as though ingenuity does not fit too well into the vocabulary of the US presidential staff who hiked off down to Blockbuster to find a last minute gift for British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.

I still am not sure of the connotations of Browns' gift to Obama considering that Obama is an African descendent. But that's another debate.

Read the British press' take on it:

In the meantime, Hillary was doing her bit with the Russians:

And I thought the British had a strange sense of humour!

Best regards,

Steve
