seem to be the wrong format.

Can this get any more embarrassing? Who do they have working in the WH? A bunch of brain-dead chimps?

Competence Watch, 'Wrong Region' Edition - Guy Benson - The Media Blog on National Review Online

Quote:
Alas, when the PM settled down to begin watching them the other night, he found there was a problem.

The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words "wrong region" came up on his screen. Although he mournfully had to put the popcorn away, he is unlikely to jeopardise the special relationship – or "special partnership", as we are now supposed to call it – by registering a complaint.
Is this what obama meant by "smart" foreign policy?

That was the last administration, you know, the ones who left a gigantic mess for Democrats to clean up.

No, actually this is a public forum where it doesnt matter if its of HUGE national importance or not.. It can still be discussed. Just like Joe the Plumber, Palins daughters babies daddy, and if McCain should be president because his arm was injured and cant use email... Yep.. if you can discuss those HUGE national important issues, then Obama embarassing himself by giving a stupid gift can also be discussed.

The gifts do not go to the receiver, they go to the country of the receiver where they are stored for "the publics benefit" to be discussed by later generations about the importance of the gathering.

A "freakin pen", which came from the same wood that created the white house desk is much better than something that can be bought for $2.99 from Amazon.com.

C'mon now. A little comedy (even if bad) just to cancel out some of the hate in here.
