If you loved the return of the Churchill bust and the Gordon Brown parting gift of 25 DVDs found at your local Wal-Mart, you’ll be tickled pink to hear of the latest adventures of the Man Who Will Make the World Love Us™.
The Wall Street Journal has the details of President Obama referring to our special relationship with England, momentarily breaking a rule of protocol by neglecting to refer to the United Kingdom instead, leaving Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland out of the equation. Sure, just one mixed-up reference, not that big of a deal, right? And Bush was such an idiot, right? It’s still going to raise a few eyebrows across the pond, as it equates to a British leader speaking of their special relationship with Texas.
Although it’s not really a foreign policy gaffe, the media team also blundered by scheduling the President’s only open event at 5 in the morning when no one is watching, as well as denying media access to important events like first-time bilateral chats with foreign leaders, offering instead brief canned remarks. Sure, not that big of a deal, right, except when this is the President’s first major overseas conference, you might want to be a little more savvy with how it plays back home.
But that’s not even the icing on the cake. Besides the meetings with the heads of Australia and Canada, both members of the British Commonwealth. President Obama is only other leader granted an audience with the Queen. Protocol is to be strictly observed, and the Queen has found it important to find the time to meet with most of our recent Commanders in Chief. So what gift did our world-wise President deem wise to give to this regal ceremonial head of state?
And apparently she already has one. I couldn’t make this up if I tried. As MM says, Dohbama strikes again. Yeah, I know the Queen also got some songbook as well. That doesn’t take away from the sheer tackiness of the gift, and compounds the previous DVD and bust blunders. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

LONG LIVE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!
Speaking of Barack Obama:
Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual and does not like racism:
WORLDWIDE PROLIFERATION OF SCANDALS:
(I) I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention. Many people know what Bush did. And many people will know what Bush did—even until the end of the world. Bush was absolute evil. Bush is now like a fugitive from justice. Bush is a psychological prisoner. Bush often worries. In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.
(II) It is opined that Bill Clinton committed terrifying, racist, hate crimes during his presidency, and I am not free to say anything further about it. Numbers 32:23: “Be sure your sins will find you out.”
(III) What if basically all racial-minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States? It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time.
(IV) I know it may be hard to believe. However, Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency.
– A.W.
(I can type 90 words per minute, and there are thousands of copies on the Internet (by March 29, 2009) indicating the contents of (I), (II), (III), and (IV). And there are thousands of copies in very many countries around the world.)

I’m not sure what any of that has to do with Obama’s tacky gift to the Queen.
