Maybe he thinks Ireland is the 57th state. Dip****.
Maybe he thinks Ireland is the 57th state. Dip****.
Consider this:
1. This is an honest mistake
2. Maybe Michelle wrote it
3. …or a low-level staffer
4. …or an autopen
5. …or his teleprompter
6. We all make mistakes.
7. Of course President Obama knows what year it is.
8. The guy graduated from Harvard.
9. Maybe it is 2008 in Ireland.
10. If everything you do is under scrutiny, mistakes will happen
Most of these are real considerations. So, honestly, this is no big deal.
I have one question, though. What if George Bush had done the same thing?
The best part is that this testament to Barry’s cluelessness is there FOREVER!
First reaction: what the heck “common sacrifices” is he talking about vis a vis Ireland?
Second reaction: Interesting that he should so strongly emphasize BO since it had another meaning.
Or, he may have just snorted some white powder. What does he mean by “common sacrifice”, anyway?
Frontal lobotomy.
Hmmmmmm.
Travelling 57 states and two to go.
too odd not to ping-—article, comments, & photos in post 77
Being disconnected from time like that is also a very distictive muslim syndrome. Don’t know the reason. Have wondered if it might have something to do with the effects on the brain of having to learn Arabic, which all muslims *must* do.

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.

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