Sorry haven’t read the whole thread so someone else may have said this, but it’s Obama’s stupid sentence inflection that doomed him. He says the first sentence ending with “to the Queen” and his voice inflection makes it sound like the end, and he gives a long pause. Additionally, when the music starts, he doesn’t think oops, I miscued the orchestra, he keeps talking instead of shutting up. If he could think without a teleprompter, he would have shut up, waited for the anthem to end, and then spoken up to finish the toast. I’ll bet a box of really good donuts he didn’t even realize that was the British National Anthem he had just blabbed through.
He is either so clueless, or so arrogant, that he thinks only he is right and he doesn’t have to listen to anyone
