As others on this thread have tried to tell you.....it all goes back to respecting the customs of the host nation.

If you haven't got it yet, you never will.

....bye...

I got it. I really got it early on, but I am a stubborn Southerner, and it was so very embarrassing for the president that I felt sorry for him. I was ignorant of the protocol involved in giving a toast to the Queen. He really flubbed it. To me, this event is worse than President Bush vomiting on whomever in Japan or China back in 1991ish. I don’t remember George W. Bush doing anything remotely this embarrassing. But I could be misremembering. lol I apologize for being so ignorant. Thankfully, I do not have to toast the Queen of England or even stand in her presence. I’m sure I would embarrass myself. :)
