The Obamas met Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, April 1. The two couples exchanged gifts. The Obamas gave the queen an engraved iPod. The Queen’s new music player came already loaded with some Broadway show tunes and videos of her 2007 visit to Washington and Virginia. The Obamas also gave the Queen a rare songbook signed by the composer Richard Rodgers. The British royals gave signed silver-framed portraits of themselves to the Obamas, their standard gift for visiting dignitaries.

What’s up with the weird electronic gifts from the Obamas? Why not a piece of contemporary American art? Something of value forever. The signed songbook, okay, but the IPod? They did this when Gordon Brown came also. Somebody needs to hire our President a new gift giver picker outer.

Wow. There is a big difference in height with the Obamas and the King and Queen. Also, I didn’t know there still were Kings and Queens in the world. I’m sorry if I offended you. I didn’t know because news about Kings and Queens aren’t on the Korean news papers unless they visit here in Korea.

Cherry, there are many European royals. They have little power but lots of riches and prestige. They are like our American movie stars: the public is fascinated – and repelled – by them.
