But then again, who am I to debate the American Film Institute?
As you may know, during UK Prime Minister Gordon Browns's visit to the White House, the customary gift-exchange took place. Brown's gift was rather fascinating:
Obama's gift? DVDs. The titles of the DVDs has been unknown...till now:
Total cost of the above items? $418.26.
Now, had the President thrown in some seasons of 24, I could see this as an almost-fair trade.
...Almost.
As you may know, during UK Prime Minister Gordon Browns's visit to the White House, the customary gift-exchange took place. Brown's gift was rather fascinating:
Brown gave Obama an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian ship HMS Gannet, which was used in anti-slavery patrols alongside its sister ship the HMS Resolute. The desk currently used by Obama in the White House Oval office is built from the timbers of the HMS Resolute and is called the "Resolute desk."
Obama's gift? DVDs. The titles of the DVDs has been unknown...till now:
Here is the entire list:
* Citizen Kane
* The Godfather
* Casablanca
