I have been present for quite a few toasts to "The Queen" and every one of them that I remember ended within two words of the phrase "The Queen". The only time they extended beyond her title was something like, "to Queen and country". Toasts to the Queen are brief, simple, and about her if there are any preliminaries. I'm amazed that Obama didn't know better and thought a toast to his hostess was a fine time to chat. Even with my phenomenally low opinion of this inept anti-American drug-addled usurper, he still regularly reminds me that I have overestimated him.

January 20, 2013 will be a beautiful day for America when Sarah takes the Oath - and I'll bet she nails it on her first try.

The speech, if any, comes before the toast. “To the Queen” is the toast and is the conclusion of the speech not the introduction.

Nothing this idiot does amazes me.
