did anyone else read that part from the DVD article?
Funny thing is he rejected that jacket - the rules are that any public servant (as he obviously is) has to declare any gift worth more than about $250 - and pay the country back for it. Obviously he didn't think that jacket was worth it.

I am beginning to think that the Obama's know that and want to give him something they can actually keep - rather than some $1000 thing that they'll just give to a government department rather than have to pay for it.

They're not that stupid.

Don't know if those rules apply to the Queen though - she did start paying taxes a few years ago but I don't think she would be happy being called a 'public servant'.



What's so important about this has-been monarchy? Kings and queens have never done anything good for anyone but themselves.
