An iPod versus a framed signed photograph of the Queen and her hubby: I know which I'd prefer!

[Jackeens]

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 the 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.

The Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she 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".

1. They gave her something else too: "The Obamas also gave the Queen a rare song book signed by

Richard Rodgers. "

3. I'd love to do that

wonder what would happen. The signed photo though is the standard gift for heads of state visiting the palace.

IIRC, They don't do anything special so as not to look biased when some shithead like Bush shows up. Although a baggie fillied with corgi feces would have gone over beautifully for shrubbo.
