President Obama Has No Idea What Year It Is
New York ^

Posted on 05/24/2011 11:14:57 AM PDT by TruthHound

This is how President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.

It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.

Barack Obama

24 May 2008

It was really nice until he got the date wrong by three years. Granted, 2008 was a great year for him, and we might try to live it for as long as possible, too, if we were him. Also, though, he may have had a stroke.

Maybe it’s a message to his future self when he time-travels back to this year.

Didn’t read the thread yet - Parkinson’s? As suggested on Hillbuzz some time ago?

I’ve never seen a guest book with layers but anything’s possible, I reckon.

The president and the orchestra at Buckingham Palace this evening were a bit out of synch.

When the president toasted the Queen the orchestra misunderstood a pause and what seemed to be a cue from the president for “God Save the Queen” to begin playing.

“Ladies and gentlemen please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast,” the president said, putting down his note cards and grabbing his glass. “To her majesty the Queen.”

The president paused, the guests stood, and the orchestra prepared to play.

But the president wasn’t done speaking.

“The vitality –“ the president said before the orchestra began.

Then the familiar tune – you might know it better as “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” – started up.

The president kept going: “ — of the special relationship between our peoples and for the words of Shakespeare to this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,” the president said as the awkward moment played out.

The Queen looked ahead as the UK anthem played.

“To the Queen,” the president finally said.

He lifted his glass to her, she smiled a bit uncomfortably.

But because the song was playing, no one drank from his or her glass, including the president, who put his glass down on the table.

Then once the song was over, everyone raised a glass.

It almost felt like one of those moments at the Academy Awards when the speech from the recipient for Best Original Screenplay goes on too long and the orchestra tries to hustle him or her off the stage.

It is likely that his lowness is preoccupied, mentally. His lawyer sustained hidden history is about to be opened up like a cheap suit to a weight lifter.

Do you call her names for any other reason other than you hate her politics?

How long have you been reading FR? Go back and read what, and how, I wrote. It is not a criticism of Palin.

lol; was just reading that; I didn’t realize there was video. thanks for posting.

Obama thought “God Save the Queen” was background music for his toast! lol

I wish I could remember the Freeper who posted today that when she heard that there was going to be a State Dinner with the Queen, she sensed another diplomatic disaster in the making.

If a Republican had done either of these things we'd NEVER hear the end of it.

The MSM would be falling all over themselves and their bloated sense of superiority to keep it front page...

Now?

Crickets.

Remember this? I wonder if the ‘press’ will make as big a deal out of Obama’s ‘gaffes’. My guess is “NO WAY” They are in the tank for the guy.

********************************************************

http://www.capitalcentury.com/1992.html

Just the other night on television, Jay Leno was poking fun at some gaffe by George W. Bush, whose picture morphed into a photograph of Dan Quayle on the screen behind the comic.

Six years out of office with two failed presidential bids now behind him, ex Vice President Quayle still ranks as America’s favorite dumb politician because of what happened in Trenton on June 15, 1992.

That’s the day, you probably recall, a Trenton sixth grader had to teach the Vice President of the United States that potato is not spelled with an e on the end.

He has 2008 on his mind. Eligibility issues. Guilt feelings.

He is left-handed, isn’t he?

Yeah, he is, but so is my wife, and she's got an excellent signature that anyone can read.

Men often have squiggles for signatures, but just look at Bambi's. No character.

Looks more like what a woman sees when she confronts her husbands ardor, rather than ‘breasteses’.
