In guest book, Obama writes '2008'

But President Obama seemed to have a quick lapse in memory on Tuesday when he signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey in London “24 May 2008.”

In addition to their signatures and the wrong date, the president and first lady wrote, “It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.”

Could the president be longing for the good old days?

Imagine if Bush did this...

Did he sign in Forrest Chump?

Must have jet lag from visiting all 57 states.

If it were Bush, he’d have been called the stupidest man in history. Since it is Obama, it is just that his great brain is so occupied with big ideas and important thoughts that he can’t be worried about what year it is.

Affirmative Action, meet Peter Principle.

Ya got me. It is inconceivable the teleprompter got the date wrong - they did take it with them right.

This could be the beginning of a public meltdown.

No worries. This is not an onset of Alzheimer’s.

In writing 2008, Obama can recycle all of his Hope and Change slogans. He doesn’t even need to come up with new ones.

Also this means he is still fresh, not a DC insider, nor does he need to defend his record.

With an Affirmative Action margin of +/- 3 years, Barry just did manage to get the current year correct.

Gee, he hadn’t even started his FIRST Global Victory tour by then, but I have no doubt that’s what he was thinking of.
He’s launched his SECOND Victory Tour, fresh off the Osama kill, and having tweaked the Arab tumult to make it look like the Arab Spring, engineered by his deft nuanced touch as Citizen of the World.

Could the president be longing for the good old days?

No.
He just can't seem to get out of his "long form birth certificate" creative writing mode...

Other than attempting to joke his way out of his fraud, that is.

Why can’t our “native born” president use the AMERICAN date format?

[Carley]

He’ll blame it on the Guinness

My God but that man is an idiot.

I've never seen such an elitist, pompous-ass signature before.

The Black Irish must be rolling in their graves. The Kenyans are pissing in the jungles (they were under British colonial rule for decades). Michele’s family might have been slaves (ah, the good old days). Obama’s father was a communist, a Soviet-oriented stooge, and a failed one at that, and his adopted tribe, the Luo, are ruled by another marxist, the Odinga klan.

Yes, Obama, you got the date wrong. It should have been 1808 or 1908, not 2008. And you were a teacher?

25th amendment. I’m series.
