"I guess it must be somewhat deflating to know the Queen requested the gift"

And who says so? The White House says so.

I do not believe that she asked the President of the United States to bring her an IPOD. She is the wealthiest woman on the planet; if she wanted an IPOD she would surely just send someone out to pick one up for her, not ask the leader of the (temporarily) free world to bring her one.

That’s just total BS and you are foolish to believe it. I honestly cannot see the Queen of England telling the President what gift she wants.

Right Wing Media Get Queen ... from www.liberalsarecool.com

Conservatives in media are dicks. The latest? The Queen of England had an iPod from 2005 is their "embarrassing" fact. God knows nothing has changed with in iPod in 4 years. They defo had the iPod Touch 32Gig video with Wi-fi back then. I'm sure she can access the AppStore with her 2005 iPod. Hannity and the rest are complete dicks about it and completely in over their heads about simple iPod features. Something, as they would say, a 5-year old or someone with Google would know. Makes their freak-out and "outrage" so trivial. 100% made up story reported as news. You had 8 years of Bush acting and speaking like a jackass and this is what your report on as "embarrassing"? You have our President leading the G20, the market is up massively, the global outlook is picking up, America is getting its standing back in the world and you run with this bullshit? Watch the video and see the Queen requested it, and the Queen's former spokesman said the Obamas "scored a hit". Somehow that missed the Fox News hacks. Source: DailyKos

The loons were out in full force on Wednesday, attacking President Obama for giving the Queen of England an iPod containing video of her 2007 state visit to the U.S. because — get this — she already owns a 2005 edition iPod Mini. You know, the kind without video.

That they were offended over this triviliality was enough comedy to warrant a mid-week Loon Watch, but the fact that the Queen requested the iPod and that her former spokesman said the Obamas “scored a hit” sealed the deal: a Loon Watch was called for. Yes loonie right wing nut jobs, the queen requested the ipod so back to digging another rabbit hole.

I love this. Here's the loons, who are forever on the prowl to go after the president, are on the attack over the I-Pod President Obama gave the Queen. They even went so far as to mention how the Queen already has a 2005 edition (at least mine is from 2008). I guess it must be somewhat deflating to know the Queen requested the gift and it was a hit. But, I'm sure, that will not stop the wing nuts from acting like this was another flub by the President. After all, just like Fox News, the truth has nothing to do with it when you are pushing a lie.
