Pres Obama, Queen Elizabeth Exchange Strange Gifts


President Obama is in England - his first real international trip as president - today. As customary, he and First Lady Michelle Obama took a meeting with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace where they exchanged gifts.

And these are some real rich people gifts. You know the gifts you give people who have. Or gifts you give people you don't know, which is the case with Obama and Queen Elizabeth.

President Obama gave the Queen an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 United States visit to Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. But 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."

And the Queen gave President Obama "a silver framed photograph of herself."

Now, we don't know about you, but we hoped she allowed Michelle to take/borrow something from her many, many Crown's Jewels or her personal Queen's Jewels collection.

That's only fair.
