http://www.dailyfail.co.uk/news/worldne ... nship.htmlGordon Brown presents Obama with a pen holder made from the timbers of a Victorian anti slave ship called the Gannet. Obama gives Brown 25 DVD's.
The Prime Minister went to the trouble of hunting down the perfect gift after becoming the first European leader invited to the White House by the new Commander In Chief.
So it would be perfectly understandable if Mr Brown felt a little underwhelmed at the official gift he received in return.How awesome.

And he will hope that at a General Election the British public do not shun his imploration for another term in office by thinking at the ballot box of the famous line from another of the movies, Casblanca: 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.'
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!
