Dear diary...

Oy. I heard this morning that the DVD set that the Obama's gifted PM Brown was incompatible with England's system. This was my first thought when the story originally came out about the gift: Whether is was UK compatible. Now I know. It seemed sooo obvious from the items the Obama's had for Brown and his family were last minute grabs from their own shelf and the White House gift shop. It was sad. Who the hell is supposed to be informing him about the diplomatic protocol of these sort of things??!?? If Obama never bothered to investigate or ask what sort of preparaton would be needed for such a meeting between two world leaders who are our strong allies, what the hell could happen with some visitors from less friendly lands?? I was a staunch Obama supporter (after losing Hillary) and some of this stuff is making me cringe. Like the bar room type joke about Special Olympics. You leave that shit at home amongst friends. The guy needs to pull back and remember we are not his friends; we are looking to him for leadership and maturity in these really trying times. Get your shit together Mr. President!
