“I mean, “God Save the Queen!” I mean, it's a national anthem. You shut up. He seems to be unaware that it is standard practice to pipe down and stand at attention when a national anthem is being played.”

Exactly right!!

I was astounded to see Obama continuing to blather over “God Save the Queen”. That song isn't only the British national anthem — it's also the Royal Anthem of Canada, Australia, and several other nations. When I was (much) younger, I sang it every morning in school. Seeing Obama talk over it was as offensive to my ears, as having a foreign leader talk over “The Star Spangled Banner” would be to most Americans (perhaps not Democrats).

The dope Obama probably thought it was the song “America” played in his honor~a back-up to a stupid toast, so to speak~
IMO
After all, isn’t it all about Obama~~~(sarcasm)

I honestly think he did not recognize the music - perhaps he thought it was meant to accompany his toast?

{{{shudder}}}
