The Queen of England receives an iPod from President Obama

President Obama is notorious for giving strange gifts to important personalities. You might remember him presenting Prime Minister Gordon Brown with a set of DVD's featuring classic American films. Unfortunately, this set was rendered useless due to incorrect region encoding. This time around, Obama paid a visit to the Queen at Buckingham palace armed with a rather unusual gift. He gave Elizabeth II an iPod with a video from her 2007 visit to the States. Thoughtful or goofy? In return, the Queen presented Obama with a silver-framed photo of the Queen and her husband which is the norm. I think I like Obama's gift better by a mile. The Queen seems to have liked the iPod quite a bit too or she was just being polite. I really cannot imagine her sporting the trademark iPod headphones and grooving to the tunes. I can't wait to see what Obama will present to the next important person he meets. I'm sure that will make headlines too.
