It is far better to arrive with no gift than to arrive with a insulting gift.
How much does an iPod cost anyway?I is a gift for a stupid teenage boy, like Prince Harry, except it would be inappropriate for even him since he probably has a dozen of them.
What about a rare, fine bottle of California wine? Or some other Americana gift? No a piece of cheap electronics available anywhere.
The whole diplomatic gift giving is a code system - it is all drippnig with meaning.
The meaning here from the Obama's to the world is: We are classless, tasteless, unmannered Nogs.
