A Gift Fit For A Queen

I think it's great that President Obama gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod for his gift giving ritual thing.
She, apparently, was thrilled because she needed to upgrade her current iPod anyway.
Okay, so Gordon Brown wasn't so happy with his DVDs and he couldn't play them on his DVD player anyway. Big deal. Who hasn't gotten a less than great present?
I also think it's terrific that our first lady broke protocol and put her arm around the Queen.
This, now, is progress.

I think the president needs to hire one of those ladies from Macy's who help you pick out gifts. An iPod for the Queen? I mean, really.

Kudos to the First Lady for breaking an age-old protocol - something from ancient times. This is today's world and the Queen and President are savy by updating proper protocol.

Also, Queen E. broke protocol first by putting her arm around Michelle Obama's back. Meanwhile, the G20 nations took some steps to ease the worldwide recession.

I suppose the work of the G20 nations might be a little more urgent than ipods and hugs. Good point.
