Short Retort

It is one thing for Obama to be rude to Britain’s Prime Minister by giving him that gift of DVD’s. But it is another thing for him to be rude to the Queen of England. People love the Queen and you just don’t give her such a stingy gift. Even worse, for him, is that for the first time Obama looks ridiculous. Everyone is beginning to snicker at the thought of him giving this little old lady an Ipod! And one thing Obama hates is to look ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous, you probably didn’t see this quote in the UK Telegraph from Obama right before his meeting with the Queen: "And so I'm very much looking forward to meeting her for the first time later this evening. And as you might imagine, Michelle has been really thinking that through -- because I think in the imagination of people throughout America, I think what the Queen stands for and her decency and her civility, what she represents, that's very important." Huh? Where’s that teleprompter when you need it!
