Confirmed: Queen’s iPod includes Obama’s speeches
posted at 7:37 pm on April 1, 2009 by Allahpundit
Hey, you never know when Hopenchange fee-vah might strike. She could be sitting there, listening to show tunes, and suddenly think, “You know what I’m in the mood for? Obama’s 2004 convention speech.” Only a quick menu-scroll away.
And to think, you guys thought this gift wasn’t special.
Uploaded onto the iPod:
* Photos from the Queen’s 2007 White House State Visit
* Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown, Va., Visit
* Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond, Va., Visit
* Video from the Queen’s 1957 Jamestown Visit
* Video from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown Visit
* Video from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond Visit
* Photos from President Obama’s Inauguration
* Audio of then-state senator Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and
* Audio of President Obama 2009 Inauguration Address
Here’s the songlist. Believe it or not, Jake Tapper’s eating crap from the left for blogging this story even though, had Bush pulled something like this, (a) it would be in constant rotation on MSNBC and likely have been the top story on “Countdown,” and (b) the same nutroots morons who are hassling JT would have wet themselves with glee over the hay they could make from it. Exit question: How’d Team Barry forget to pre-load that ass-covering speech on race he gave last year — which, I believe, was the last time he dared to utter a syllable on the subject? Isn’t that supposed to be the greatest work of American literature since “Huckleberry Finn” or something? Way to cheap out on the Queen!

The MSM isn’t covering this. It’s Thursday morning, & I’ve still seen no one else refer to BHO’s speeches being loaded on the iPod.
jgapinoy on April 2, 2009 at 8:19 AM
Oh man I was going to give The One a thumbs up for a creative and thoughtful gift and I would have if he hadn’t put himself on the i-pod. What a narcissist.
Ellen on April 2, 2009 at 8:21 AM
He is such a narcissistic ass-hat.
crazy_legs on April 2, 2009 at 8:31 AM
bush winked at the queen. talk about inappropriate.
maybe it’s because, you know, who cares? the leaders of the world meet to figure out how to recover from the global recession and you worry about his speeches on the ipod? are you effin serious, people?
sesquipedalian on April 2, 2009 at 8:33 AM
It’s almost hopeless dealing with them, reaganaut. You have to remember, you’re dealing with the crusading zealots of a violently intolerant, narrow-minded, puritanical, secular religion. Added to that, many of these individuals have the emotional maturity of spoiled children–which is what several of them like as not are. Many if not all of these O’bots have never put in an honest day’s work in their lives–they’ve pretty much had everything given to them–just like their Papa ‘Bama. They want to be serfs. They want to be taken care of. And they hate the fact that there still those of us who insist on thinking for ourselves and living our own lives.
I’d pity them except for the fact that they disgust me so much.
Matt Helm on April 2, 2009 at 8:37 AM
Yes, she already has an Ipod, but she doesn’t have one from The Messiah!
And what better gift from The Messiah to a possible convert than copies of his sermons?
Now, can we please stop this needlessly childish complaining against Dear Leader?
You see? When you talk and think like a Liberal, everything this a-hat does makes perfect and complete sense…
catmman on April 2, 2009 at 8:40 AM
As Defender of the Faith (Church of England), QE should be happy to receive the words and visage of the messiah in ipod form.
Maybe they should set up a special display at Buckingham Palace of all the gifts Ogabe gives to them. Title it: Insults to the Crown.
SKYFOX on April 2, 2009 at 8:44 AM
Now, if that isn’t one of the most naive statements I’ve ever read here.
No wonder we’re this situation.
Saltysam on April 2, 2009 at 8:48 AM
As long as he has himself, he’ll never be alone. I want to see all his school transcripts. He is either educated beyound his intelligence or he has no commopn sense at all.
kingsjester on April 2, 2009 at 8:49 AM
commopn=common
oops.
kingsjester on April 2, 2009 at 8:50 AM
Yeah. What we have going on in London is what I like to call a “High level meeting with low level thinking.”
Matt Helm on April 2, 2009 at 8:51 AM
Kind of having the most horrific attack on this nation perpetrated by the greatest enemy the world has seen since the Nazis and worrying about a children’s book. You lousy hypocritical idiots.
LibTired on April 2, 2009 at 8:52 AM

kingsjester on April 2, 2009 at 8:49 AM
Apparently, its not so much his grades that they are afraid to expose. Its the type of courses and professors that he needs to hide.
This information would have been a deal killer for the American people, I guess.
Saltysam on April 2, 2009 at 8:54 AM
Three things:
Why didn’t The One just give her a few trillion? Everyone else gets that.
Has anyone checked the possible involvement of Chrissy Matthews in the wonderful gay song selection?
I have it on good authority that the State Department selected fab gifts for Brown. Those gifts were gone — missing without a trace! Surprisingly, the valuable items were in a room with only Cabinet member access. There are no clues — but a smaller truck from the same company that moved the Clintons out was seen on the property at about the right time.
IlikedAUH2O on April 2, 2009 at 8:57 AM
On second thought.
I don’t know if it’s as naive as it is denial.
That statement reminds me of someone that puts a blinder and ear muffs on so that they can go to sleep.
It’s a shame, really.
Saltysam on April 2, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Can I ask for some clarification? Are you referring to his statement or mine? The point to my statement is that what we’re going to be seeing at this summit is a whole lot of posturing and fingerpointing–mostly at the US–without the true issues being addressed–High level meeting…low level thinking.
Matt Helm on April 2, 2009 at 9:04 AM
No problem…
this:
Saltysam on April 2, 2009 at 9:12 AM
You know what would be hysterical? If the Queen took the iPod and erased it completely. Then installed all of Winston Churchill’s greatest speeches from WW2.
Then sent it back to little hussein and his dopey wife neatly gift-wrapped with a note:
“Here Mr. President. Maybe you’ll learn something.”
ErinF on April 2, 2009 at 9:17 AM
You guys don’t understand the genius of the iPod — now there is no question for future visits what to get the Queen — iTunes gift cards. It’s like an automatic gift. It just keeps giving.
Ferris on April 2, 2009 at 9:18 AM
I told everyone in my office that this was on the ipod. It’s the verbal hypnosis. I’m not kidding.
marklmail on April 2, 2009 at 9:24 AM
You guys don’t get it. If you got everywhere because of your race, that’s how you would be too. he really thinks he’s legit. Just like the “elite” thing. Do you really think the pimpshit richkids he went to college with didn’t know he got there because of quotas? They let him hang around with them because it made them feel good, progressive. The minute he turned his back you know they were rolling their eyes at each other.
Just like The BalletDancer and Giethner are doing now.
LtE126 on April 2, 2009 at 9:28 AM
The question is, does he have a picture of himself in his bedroom.

How come every time the Obamas talk to a foreign Big Wig….
I expect to see Ellie May and Jethro in the background??? With Mr. Drysdale beating up Tim Geithner? and Miss Drysdale looking on in horror?
/starts to sing…
So we loaded up the truck, and moved to Washington… DC that is… politicians… music Stars…
After the fawning the press has done on Michelle O, and her “cloathes”… it just shows that Class has nothing to do with packaging…
Romeo13 on April 2, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Did the Queen give BO a copy of Carly Simon’s “You’re so Vain”?
Wade on April 2, 2009 at 10:10 AM
She did well, right up until youngTXcon found a copy on eBay for 70 bucks. Bigolddog found one on eBay for $15. Now it’s just a matter of “How low can you go…”
As for banning, that’s something Huffpost and dailykos bloggers do to their adversaries. We just have to be on our game, because there is competition here. We may not think it’s very good competition, but it’s there and they do score every once in a while.
unclesmrgol on April 2, 2009 at 10:14 AM
I’m sorry, I don’t have time to read all of your comments yet, but I thought this was a good comparison from a blogger on Ace of the classless Bush compared to the classy messiah.
“Could this guy really be out to sink the United States? It sounds like a movie script.
Just so we admit that Bush had his classless moments as well lets compare…
President and Mrs. Bush gave Her Majesty a bronze statuette “High Desert Princess” with a personal inscription on the bottom of the base. It is a replica of the original life size statue that is located in front of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, Texas.
President and Mrs. Bush gave The Prince Philip an exclusive sterling silver eagle box by Tiffany & Co. with personal inscription on the inside lid.
President and Mrs. Bush gave Their Majesties a leather presentation box filled with a collection of documents from the National Archives. One of the items was a copy of an original letter from President Roosevelt to her father, King George, written in 1938. There were also photos from previous royal visits and a DVD of the footage from the Queen’s visit to the United States when she was Princess Elizabeth in 1951.
Sure glad we have the Harvard man in there instead of the Texas hillbilly!”
He’s a joke and so is his administration! So much for taking 500 people with him – to teach him what?
Bambi on April 2, 2009 at 10:17 AM
We need them here, they help with the hit count which gives Michelle, AP and Ed more money. Not only to get more truth out to the world but to out stupidity delivered by snarkvader and getalife (Dr Heal Thyself).
Wade on April 2, 2009 at 10:26 AM
Maybe the CIA loaded something on the IPOD.
davod on April 2, 2009 at 10:29 AM
I’m sure M, and Q, will take a look at the Ipod…
Romeo13 on April 2, 2009 at 10:33 AM
WOW,The Queen should keep this in a very safe place.The Obama speeches on this Ipod will be worth untold amounts of money someday.After all it,s not everday one gets to have a video & audio copy of the most high & mighty The One ,the great, the knower of all thing,the only man to ever live that has given Chris Matthews a trill up his leg.The great one Obama.So to the Queen i say guard this with your very life.
thmcbb on April 2, 2009 at 10:39 AM
This man’s egotism is unbelievable!!!!
Chekote on April 2, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Or…. does the Church of England have a “basement” library like the Vatican is supposed to have, where they keep copies of banned books?
She is still Defender of the Faith ya know…
Romeo13 on April 2, 2009 at 10:43 AM
THANK YOU MATT HELM… My sentiments exactly, the rich trust fund brats…
reshas1 on April 2, 2009 at 10:53 AM
I’ll bet $50 that Obama’s shitty ‘gift’ gets wiped and regifted to one of her staffs’ kids.
Honestly…what could the Obamas do to be more definitively ‘white castle trash’?
LimeyGeek on April 2, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Wonder what present Obama gave to the King of Saudi Arabia?
An iPod with audio of Obama reading from the Koran?
albill on April 2, 2009 at 11:01 AM
obama was also perplexed when the Queen did not curtsey and bow when she met him
runner on April 2, 2009 at 11:02 AM
Churchill was before Barry O’s time. Maybe Her Majesty should include a little Maggie (Thatcher) he might remember.
and then “Tear Down This Wall” by Ronald Reagan.
Steve Z on April 2, 2009 at 11:07 AM
If McCain had been President, he could have shipped the London Bridge back from Arizona.

Michelle Dubois on April 2, 2009 at 11:17 AM
It doesn’t matter if some songs she likes are on it. Why give an 82 year old woman an ipod? She has all the music she likes on records and that’s what she’s going to use. Not some fancy ipod!
Next thing you know he’s going to visit France and give them a cheap bottle of wine and some bad cheese.
ConDem on April 2, 2009 at 11:19 AM
Obama is simply a joke as POTUS! Queen Elizabeth has, in her personal library, the drawings and manuscripts of da Vince; her collection of jewelry and art includes the work of Pierre Carl Faberge. She is one of the richest women in the world..! Obama is a brainless twit…
sunshine12345 on April 2, 2009 at 11:22 AM
Obama is beyond thrashy.
Who gives the Queen of England (richest woman in the world) a book that anyone can buy on Ebay for $15 and a crappy iPod filled with his own mediocre speeches?
A narcissistic & trashy cheapskate, that’s who.
Norwegian on April 2, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Did you seriously write those two responses in the same post in a completely un-ironic fashion? Awesome.
TheUnrepentantGeek on April 2, 2009 at 11:31 AM
Agreed. As Bayan on “Seinfeld” would say: “The Best,Jerry! The best!”
Whenever Tapper is grilling Gibbs at a White House presser I’m sure it’s all he can do to keep from being Joe Pesci, and saying to Gibbs as his last question: “You know you’re a f****’ mumbling stuttering little f***, you know that?”
Fed45 on April 2, 2009 at 11:31 AM

Loony tunes.
Dow up to over 8000.

This has to be the biggest April Fool’s joke ever. Then again, we are talking about Barry and Weezie. Nevermind.

The Obamas stole the show in London.
getalife on April 2, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Sadly, libs don’t get that this is symptomatic of a deeper, more disturbing narcissistic tendency that pervades everything the guy touches. It is endemic to his WH staff as well. It seems that they believe themselves to be anointed and above we mere mortals. (Given the name you have chosen, you should understand the big words in this post.) Someone needs to give them an ipod loaded with Ronald Reagan’s speeches. Then, they would really learn something.
College Prof on April 2, 2009 at 11:35 AM
Just found this thread. RE:
I believe this listing (the 2nd one), from Amazon does fulfill the bet according to the conditions that these posts require.
1 – Listed on Amazon.com (for under $34)
2 – 1951 publishing date
3 – 1st edition of Rodgers and Hart (as identified by the 2nd SnarkVader post)
4 – Signed
scrub_oak on April 2, 2009 at 11:38 AM
SnarkVader is about to go missing.
After welshing on the bet.
A true liberal!
IlikedAUH2O on April 2, 2009 at 11:44 AM
Appears so. Isn’t Snarky a Mitt supporter? If so, it really makes him look bad if she welshes on this.
a capella on April 2, 2009 at 11:50 AM
forget about the low Dow numbers; what do you think is the first speech the queen will dance to ? do you think she will take the precious gift riding tomorrow morning, or leave it behind for the fear of breaking it? or, perhaps she will place it in the Tower of London with all the other treasures of the Crown ??
runner on April 2, 2009 at 12:00 PM
yuh, because her majesty is known through out the world for her cutting edge tech-gadget prowess.

xler8bmw on April 2, 2009 at 12:27 PM
If “SnarkVader” was an honest and honorable person, he would have to donate $1,000 to SarahPAC and show us proof that he did so. (Email copy of the receipt with personal info deleted would suffice)
But since he is an anti-Palin weasal who continously lies (just like Poptech Fabio, Craptitulus, Bunnyshaker and others); you can instead expect him to reneg on his promised bet.

If he weren’t the President for another 3 years, this would be hillarious!
jeffn21 on April 2, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Uploading Obama’s speeches was tacky enough, but the showtunes really made me shoot coffee out my nose. She’s not that kind of Queen, Obama!
chunderroad on April 2, 2009 at 12:53 PM
President Reagan’s speeches should have been on the iPod. He is the only US President to have been invited to stay overnight at the Queen’s favorite residence, Windsor Castle. He and the Queen went riding together.
GWB is the only other President she has ever invited to visit her at Windsor Castle. He and Laura were there last summer.
As I said in the other thread, the Queen may not say anything publicly, but these actions indicate a great deal.
INC on April 2, 2009 at 1:05 PM
Is there a bit of subconscious truth-telling in the contents of the song list?
One of the included songs:
“Send in the Clowns,” Judy Collins
VekTor on April 2, 2009 at 1:09 PM
I’ve always said this around here, but some people here don’t like that tone. They think the comparison is irrelevant.
I’m thinking it becomes more relevant with each passing day.
And again you nutbags, I’m not talking BO’s going to go out & kill people.
He is compared to the Hitler who rose to power to shred the German govt into tatters-not the mass murderer. Hopefully that part never evolves.
Badger40 on April 2, 2009 at 1:27 PM
Heh. I bet the Queen never wants to lay eyes on the first couple every again. EVAH
Badger40 on April 2, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Badger40
People don’t necessarily like the truth and want to forget the Hitler years. But, you’re correct and there are many other comparison that are interesting.
Hitler had a messianic view of himself
Obama has a messianic view of himself
Hitler was able to speak to the masses with smoke and mirrors
Obama is able to speak to the masses with smoke and mirrors
Hitler was in awe of the spartans
Obama accepted his nomination with the back drop of a greek temple
Hitler created infrastructure projects
Obama has created infrastructure projects
Hitler had horrible relationship with his father
Obama had horrible relationship with his father
Hitler mother died of breast cancer he blamed the jewish doctor
Obama mother died of ovarian cancer he blames the US healthcare system
Those are just a few
xler8bmw on April 2, 2009 at 1:41 PM
Funny both Reagan and GW were invited to stay at Windsor Castle for the night when they visited. Obama’s no invite LMAO!
xler8bmw on April 2, 2009 at 1:42 PM
xler8bmw on April 2, 2009 at 1:41 PM
Don’t forget:
Hitler married Eva Braun.
Obama uses Brawny brand paper towels.
Hitler led the Third Reich.
Obama watched Shrek the Third.
Hitler subjected his enemies to the gas chamber.
Obama farted in an elevator once.
maleman on April 2, 2009 at 2:05 PM
Very instructive.
We need a permanent ebsite with former narcissistic leader comparisons.
I believe BO probably shares a lot in common with folks like Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Lenin, etc.
They didn’t all necessarily start out as mass murders, BTW.
Badger40 on April 2, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Get a clue. No one is saying BO will evolve into a mass murderer. But it is enough that he shares many basic views these destroyers had.
Hitler & others like him in history destroyed their countries with their narcissism.
And there were so many waiting to help them.
Just as there are so many waiting to destroy our beloved country-for BO.
Badger40 on April 2, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Well, she is only the Queen…and he IS The One.

You forgot how bad the campaign plane reportedly smelled. I wonder if the Air Force One in the gift shop comes with a dead gerbil, just so you get an idea of the cabin.
chunderroad on April 2, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Totus didn’t even get credit for the speeches, I bet. I STILL cannot grasp how this guy reading from a teleprompter gets half the world so excited. I’m convinced this is just more Bush derangement syndrome. They grasped at straws and then worshipped Baal.
Haunches on April 2, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Whole lot of narcissism on display there…

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, forget it. It’s about an earlier post.
What the heck does she have on when she’s speaking to a London school? Maybe from the salvation army store? Argyle all over the sleeves.

Songs on the iPod are:

“Once in Love with Amy (Where’s Charley?),” Ray Bolger
“Some Enchanted Evening,” “South Pacific”

“I Could Have Danced All Night,” Julie Andrews, “My Fair Lady”
“I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face,” Rex Harrison, “My Fair Lady”
“The Party’s Over (Bells Are Ringing),” Judy Holliday
