Dear Economy,

So, it's come to this, eh?

You go into the tank and now our American leaders can't give other world leaders awesome gifts.

Instead, you made President Obama give British Prime Minster Gordon Brown a set of DVDs. That's right. DVDs.

And Secretary of State Clinton gave the Russians a button.

C'mon. DVDs and a button? Is that what it has come to? When is the PM ever going to have time to watch DVDs? And you can bet the Russians tossed that button in the trash can as soon as Clinton left.

So, fuck you, Economy. Fuck you for making us stoop to buttons and DVDs. Obama might've been better off giving the Prime Minster a mix tape.



Regards,
Everyone


This is the button. Seriously. That's what we gave the Russians.
