Obama is Living In the Past -- Literally!
Politico ^ | 5/24/2011 | conortheconservative

Posted on 05/24/2011 2:00:44 PM PDT by conortheconservative

President Obama accidentally writes '24 May 2008.' AP Photo Close He got it right in Ireland, even signing the Dublin presidential guest book European-style rather than American: “23-05-2011.”

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?

If Bush had done this it would be reported widely and he would be accused of drinking again or stupidity.

With Barry it was just a barely worthy of a mention.

57 states, 2008, red ink with lots of zeros, its only numbers in a MSM-buttressed-Chicago-style thugocracy.

He just has his pet anchors on his pet networks.

ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC.

And still after these things he’s done. After I heard he was going to a royal state dinner, I thought “Oh no! It’s a diplomatic crisis!”

This is just unbelievable. This dude lives in an alternative universe, from the 57th state of Oogie Boogie.

IMHO, it’s because he is back in campaign mode, in 2008.

He never really left it. He’s like the college student that excels at tests, but can’t function in the real world. He’s still campaigning.

Does this mean he’s not planning to hold elections for at least 4 more years?

Perhaps Barry had not slept off the Guinesses. He left Ireland rather abruptly.

I’d be interested if he had been at Westminster Abbey before.

Could he have signed the guestbook back then as well?

Or he didn't have his teleprompter to tell him the date.

You beat me to it. The libs would use this to proclaim how Bush is stupid, the stupidest man to take office.

The UK Daily Mail, which is far more objective than our press is, had it on the front page:
