Regalo de Obama a la Reina... un Ipod

Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ her 2007 United States visit to Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed signed photograph ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ herself and the Duke ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ Edinburgh - apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries.

It is believed the Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she is said to have bought in 2005 at the suggestion ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ Prince Andrew.

UPDATE: Pool reporter Richard Wolf ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ USA Today says that an Obama aide told him the President also gave the Queen a "rare songbook signed by Richard Rodgers". END UPDATE

Earlier, Mr Obama had spoken ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ his admiration for Her Majesty but indicated that his wife was handling the details ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ their royal meeting. "There's one last thing that I should mention that I love about Great Britain, and that is the Queen," he said at the end ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ his joint press conference with Gordon Brown.

"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 ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ people throughout America, I think what the Queen stands for and her decency and her civility, what she represents, that's very important."

Mr Brown added: "Well, I know the Queen is looking forward to welcoming you and she's very much looking forward to her discussion with you."

There was widespread criticism in Britain and from Anglophiles in the US ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ Mr Obama's recent present to Mr Brown ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ a box set ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ classic American movies on DVDs that were not compatible with British DVD players.

Si hubiera sido Bush, dicen que que polo y sin gracia, pero como es el Obama entonces es muy "moderno"

Y la verdad es una gran polada, generalmente se regalan cosas simbólica y representativas, artesanales, y únicas. Pero un Ipod es algo tan corriente que la vieja esa lo consigue a la vuelta de la esquina.

Vamos a ver las cosas más objetivamente.
La reinita le regala una hermosa foto de ella y el principe de Edumburgo. Regalo estándar tras de eso.

Obama le regala un iPOD(no dicen qué clase ni el precio de éste) y tras de eso le regala un raro libro de canciones firmado por Richard Rodgers.

Obama se ha caracterizado por regalar objetos modernos, pues el mes pasado le regalo un paquete de 25 DVD's al primer ministro Gordon Brown. It's so cool. 8) 8) 8)

Among those Brown gave Obama were several highly innovative and historically interesting gifts including a pen holder forged from the wood ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ a 19th century British vessel that had been active in the anti-slavery movement. Obama, in turn, handed the PM a box ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ DVDs containing American movie classics such as Star Wars, The Wizard ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ Oz and The Searchers.The British press has pointed out this seems like a highly impersonal and trivial gift- especially for a man who is not known to be a movie buff. We hope the PM at least has a Region 1 DVD players or he won't be able to watch them at all! We understand the President feels very badly about the faux pas and intends to send the Prime Minister a $25 gift card good for I Tunes downloads
