President Barack Obama is touring Europe this week, and he received a pretty awesome gift as he swung through Poland. Prime Minister Donald Tusk presented the Commander-in-Chief with the collector's edition of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, developed in the country.

With the birth certificate nonsense over and Osama bin Laden dead, I'd say the President has earned some quality gaming time.

That is really, really awesome. I wish we could know what he thinks of it.

LoL look at the pack man symbol on the laptop!

Wait so the president of poland plays witcher?

i could say a lot of things but i think it can all be summed up in a mental face palm.
by ZAP Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:20 PM

And he loves it!
by specter520 Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:20 PM

I wonder if the president even plays games, hmm?
by Charlie FoHammer Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:20 PM

Every developer should do this when the president visits their country. That would be awesome/hilarious/somewhat awkward for Australia since they're total p***ies when it comes to games.

Haa kewl the first president to receive a video game Have fun Obama
by DB9Rapide Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:21 PM

He should have a press conference to play it.
by v3rTabreaker Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:25 PM

LOL! First it started with a DVD collection. The sequel was a video game. To complete this trilogy the Presidential gift giving, Obama must either give or receive an iTune gift card.

nice
by LastQuestion Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:27 PM

Does obama even play video games? I mean, it's not like we can expect him to make time for them right now, but is it even an interest for him?
by D. Robinson Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:28 PM

They should broadcast him playing it on C-Span lol.
by Fews Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:29 PM

Highly doubt he even plays the vidya. Pretty neat anyway, though.

Edit: It's almost as lame as when he gifted some European leader (forget which, sadly) DVDs that weren't compatible with that region's players.
by Blake Eaton Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:35 PM

That's really weird, but also kinda awesome. I wonder how Mr. Tusk made the decision to make that the gift he gave.
by stayedstar Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:36 PM

I wish I were the president.
by The End117 Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:40 PM

I doubt the President would be playing the Witcher. I mean he has a Wii, I don't think the Witcher is up his alley. I would be pleasantly surprised if he did like it though.
by Masterkalel Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 03:42 PM

He isn't the first to receive a video game as a present George W. got A DS lite for his 60th Birthday Straight from Nintendo of America
