I Call Punk'd on the Queen's iPod
All day long, Jake Tapper has been Tweeting about the iPod that Barack Obama supposedly gave the Queen, and the BBC is even in on the action. I say this is an April Fool's Day joke. Here are some of Tapper's Tweets: (
you have to read them from the bottom up)
At one point, I asked Tapper directly if this was all an April Fool's Day joke,
PD toolbar!and was greeted with silence. I also have it on good authority that the British are very much into April Fool's Day, and are still convinced that the Declaration of Independence was a particularly elaborate, belated AFD stunt.
I could be wrong, but this seems to tie in with the British press' completely hissy overreaction to the gift that the President gave Gordon Brown, a set of the best American movies.

The iPod is clearly too big to be authentic, and why is the President holding it perfectly upright?? Is he afraid he'll spill the contents?

Are you kidding me...I love my ipod. You don't think her two grandsons are going to help her out... I like the idea that the Obama's downloaded a video of her last visit to the United States on it as part of the gift. I think it was a great idea.

well, Crandall, you know the gift just isn't pretentious enough...
it lacks bells and whistles...
I think, we should have brought her a State or something...now THAT would have made a statement!!

If this is an April Fools gag, we need to address him as King Obama henceforth.
A brief bit of the Bush doctrine if this is an April Fools Joke: Bow down bitches! Bow down to the President and King of Cool. I don't give a shit what side you're on, that's pretty damn cool for the Prez.*
*If he did get an Ipod, uhhh... dude, a lock of my pubes is a better gift.

Good grief...I certainly would not want to see how some folks here react to gifts the receive around the Christmas Tree! A gift is a gift.
I heard that the Queen Mother gave President Obama a photo of herself.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Damn, Tommy, Tapper is good! I mean to pull an April Fool's joke and get the world media all involved in it! That's power. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and read the international papers and see "April Fools!" printed in the headlines with a picture of an Ipod, especially in all the countries who are reporting this and don't even celebrate April Fools Day! Nobody can pull one over on you, Tommy! It's this quick thinking and ability to see through a con that had you voting for Obama!

It's the anything and everything goes mode of the cyberworld. If it is there, it MUST be true! OMG It IS true! LOL
It even looks like, in the photo shown, that Michelle is shaking the Queen's so hard she is ripping her arm out of her socket, as some people are claiming in their posts on other blogs here. LOL That must be true too! OMG It IS true!
It even looks like, in the photo shown, that Barack is scowling at the Queen in disgust! LOL That must be true too! OMG It IS true. (just kidding - please don't go with that birfers!)

I just watched my local FOX news program and they have "confirmed" that the gift was an IPOD! I wonder what the contents on the IPOD will be in the next few weeks! LOL Perhaps a movie about 'enery the eigth, he is.

From what I've heard, the Queen REQUESTED the iPod.
I do agree that uploading the photos from her 2007 visit was a nice touch on Barack Obama's part.
Kinda makes you think ... there's a _human being_ wearing that crown (It's actually a video iPod -- does she download "Torchwood"? ;-) )

Where to begin? The right-wing lie factory has been so busy trying to turn a charming good-will gift into some sort of gaffe that I don't know where to start. Yes, Obama gave her an ipod, but no, it didn't contain photos of himself or recordings of his speeches. It was loaded with pictures of HRH on her visits to the U.S., and some of her favorite American show tunes -- which he gave her along with an autographed copy of a Richard Rogers song book. Not too shabby! And yes, she already had one, but it was a 2005 model -- already a dinosaur, by the standards of Ipod technology.
I hate the way the likes of Rush Limbaugh and some right wing bloggers deliberately put misinformation out there and people quote it without even bothering to check the facts.

Hey, the thing is the Queen is very respected and she really needs something very high and mighty. It is told that she gives signed photos of her self to not so high and mighty people. And she does have a lot of stuff, but if you look at Obama's record he doesn't have a great record of gift giving. box sets in a country that can't play usa dvd's
