List of DVDs that Obama gave Prime Minister Brown
03/05/09
President Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown exchanged gifts today after an unusual meeting wherein President Obama challenged Gordon Brown to a one-on-one game of basketball and then asked Brown if he could "spot" him during the bench press portion of Obama's Thursday chest and abs workout:
Mr Brown’s gifts included an ornamental desk pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, once named HMS President.
Mr Obama was so delighted he has already put it in pride of place in the Oval Office on the Resolute desk which was carved from timbers of Gannet’s sister ship, HMS Resolute.
Another treasure given to the U.S. President was the framed commission for HMS Resolute, a vessel that came to symbolise Anglo-US peace when it was saved from ice packs by Americans and given to Queen Victoria.
Finally, Mr Brown gave a first edition set of the seven-volume classic biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert.
President Obama reciprocated by giving PM Brown 25 DVDs. After a shuttle bus whisked Gordon Brown to the airport, White House staff released a list of the movies. They are:
1. V for Vendetta

LOL, thats a funny list! What an utterly stupid gift to give a dignitary, if Bush had done this he would be made fun of his whole life, but since it's a Democrat it get's quickly forgotten or never mentioned. Good job finding out what the titles were!
