Lots of powerful people both within Europe and the USA seem to be having a go at Obama. Maybe its because he is going to tax the wealthy whom the USA owes almost $11 trillion dollars to. The multi-nationals control the UK newspapers so these propaganda stories about Obama snubbing brown are a sign that they are not happy with Obama.

As a British person I can tell you that British people know that these anti-Obama stories are garbage. We were all brought up to believe that its the thought that counts when receiving gifts. Obama is a busy man right now and hasn't got time to run around the shops for hours looking for gifts but he still made an effort.

Who cares if Churhill's bust was removed from the oval office. The movies were a perfectly good gift that I'm sure Brown was very happy with and many British people have multi-regional DVD players anyway because we don't like being told which DVDs we can watch and which we can't.

The important thing is that Obama and Brown had constructive and useful talks.
