Obama Gives Queen Of England An Ipod As A Gift

Earlier this year Obama gave British PM Gordon Brown 25 DVDs as a gift. They were actually the wrong format for England.

Now the Telegraph reports that "Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 visit to the United States. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed photograph of herself - apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries. The Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she bought in 2005 at the suggestion of Prince Andrew."

So much for "smart power."
