After the drubbing they endured from the British media for giving the Prime Minister and his wife 25 DVDs, Barack and Michelle Obama gave Queen Elizabeth, 82, an iPod.
Can things get any worse for the Obamas?
From Usmagazine.com:
-
For Queen Elizabeth? An inscribed iPod fully accessorized and loaded with the “ultimate Broadway” collection of 40 tunes, including “People” by Barbra Streisand, “Aquarius” by Ronald Dyson and songs from a wide range of shows from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to Rent and La Cage aux Folles -– and including music and words to toe-tapping tunes from 22 Broadway shows and two films.
“It was a fun and very welcome gift,” a palace spokesman tells PEOPLE about the iPod, which also contains photos of the Queen’s state visit to the U.S. in 2007.
Well at least they made up for their tasteless gifts to the British PM and his wife last month.

Mrs. Obama selected a personal style favorite for Mrs. Brown – a broach (to be specific, it was a “crochet black flower brooch with pearl accents”). John, 5, got a baseball bat signed by Derek Jeter, a baseball signed by President Obama and a book titled Classic Baseball.
For younger brother James, 2, there was a collection of 10 Dr. Seuss books.
