I'm sure people have heard of this already. Obama gave the Queen of England an iPod. How inappropriate! International diplomatic crisis! Obama is obviously over his head with this whole presidency thing

I am more interested in the copyright issues: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/04/first-sale-president-obama-and-queen-england but not as it being an issue with Obama, but an issue with our laws.

I think the iPod was engraved, thus disproving the airport gift shop theory. His gift did require thought, and I think we can drop this whole gift issue.

He did some good work yesterday, but the news just glossed over the things he did and spent far more time on the iPod and the first lady's outfit. I should have watched BBC news instead.
