pencil holder from a sister ship is a bit of a step down from a desk made of the real ship

Re: If Barack Obama wrote a book, would you read it?
Uhhhh.... No, probably not. I have to be pretty obsessed to read an autobiographical book. It's only happened once.

(j/k)

How so? I haven't written one yet!

But the ladder completes itself with the addition of a $20 pack of DVDs.

Re: If Barack Obama wrote a book, would you read it?
Brown's gift had deep historical signficance and recognized the vitality and legitimacy of the USA's past history.

It's only historical to England (Or the UK... or Britain or whatever)? How does this have any bearing on America's past? It fought neither with nor against US forces.

Anti-slavery? It was commissioned in 1878, 23 years after slavery didn't exist in America.

Then they made part of it basically a cup... for pencils.

Why didn't they just cut some steel out of a ship that fought at the Falklands, turn it into a coffee cup and have it symbolize America's war with Mexico?

Quote
Obama gave some admittingly classic American DVDs that did not have the same significance and could not even be watched.

So you think he did it on purpose? Is it lame because they were DVDs or because they didn't work? Are you guys really made Brown didn't get.. essentially, a knickknack?

Which HMS Gannet is being referred to? I've looked at several online and a few were commissioned before 1833 (the date of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire). As for one being commissioned in 1878, 23 years after abolition of slavery in the United States; correct me if I'm wrong because I can't remember the exact year, but wasn't slavery abolished during the American Civil War (1861-1865)? I can't remember which year during the war it was abolished, but it definitely wasn't 1855.

Slavery was abolished in the confederate states by the emancipation proclamation during the civil war. Slavery was outlawed elsewhere afterward. (13th amendment)

That's a typo, it's supposed to be 13.

Should have figured it was a typo since it was off by a nice round ten, no problem. :)

I think it was important that the item had British historical significance. I mean...it was a gift from Britain to the United States, after all. I'd expect a gift from the US to be mostly US historical, but not a stupid DVD set. Basically I just expect more from a head of state to another head of state than some films.

Why? Is our relationship that tenuous and shaky if he doesn't give the Ark of the Covenant they think we hate them?

He may not have sent the most earth shattering gift, but it was about modern American culture. Brown's gift reminds me of a gift your grandmother gives you.

Priceless historical artifact versus 100 DVD's he can't even watch due to region restrictions.  Smart move Obama.

Well I guess when you're an aging power with no real relevance to the world, you're reduced to handing out old pieces of you life as a way of saying "Hey, remember when we were cool and popular?"

Everyone else pretends it's an awesome gift and then it just goes in storage.
