Most likely, this was all pre-arranged between the Whitehouse staff and the Queen's staff. And, of course, this is probaly one more bogus "scandal," most likely cooked-up by Fox or some other professional prevaricators. Bob #31,

How can you be so critical? He didn’t just give her an Ipod, it had video of the queen’s visits, as well as Obama’s speeches, and the tunes on the Ultimate Broadway CD.

MP3s ARE NOT TRANSFERRABLE (personal use only). The federal government broke it's own (silly) copyright law, then escalated it to an international violation by transporting the MP3s across borders! My point isn't that this is Obama's fault. It actually shows the absurdity of the current copyright code for digital content. The fact that any normal citizen could have the government and the RIAA breathing down their necks for such a harmless, sharing, human action demonstrates how out of touch the system is.

Hopefully he learned his lesson after he pissed off England with DVDs that wouldn't play. One wonders if he gave toy helicopters to the Queen's children this time. The iPod was a little kitschy though. A rare song book signed by a composer is a pretty dignified gift. Hopefully he learned his lesson after he pissed off England with DVDs that wouldn’t play.
