There’s nothing special about Britain.
So says an "unnamed" White House official, responding to criticisms that they didn't treat Britain's Prime Minister according to custom:

In over their heads. I've said it many times, will be saying it many times more.

Didn't Obama give the Prime Minister of Great Britain 25 DVDs that won't play on a British DVD player?
I'm a pretty cheap bastard when it comes to giving gifts, and I don't think I have ever given such a shitty gift. Embarrassing. |

That reminds me of my mom, who before one Christmas, asked me to burn some music CDs and DVDs to give out as gifts. I asked her if she intended to get the prize for world's crappiest gift-giver.
25 DVDs, lol. That is like something that would sell for $30 at a youth fundraiser. |

Before I decide what to think about this, I want to read Cali's unbiased explanation of what is obviously a partisan hack job of Obama's character.
