#2 If it wasn't for my bias (take your pick), I would think this was an April Fool's Joke.

#4 Jonah's April Fool fun ---

Here's this
Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 United States visit to Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed signed photograph of herself and the Duke of 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 of Prince Andrew.

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

#5 As a related aside: I know that gifts to the President are considered the property of the US. Does anyone know if this applies to gifts to the first lady (I would guess it does)? How about gifts to the children?

#10 He could have given her a GM car. No, he'd probably give her one with the steering wheel on the wrong side.
