Could you even imagine Sarah Palin or some other Republican doing this? We’d never hear the end of it.



A message from US President Barack Obama and his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, apparently signed by the President with the wrong date of 2008 in the distinguished visitors’ book during a tour of Westminster Abbey, in central London, as part of his state visit to the United Kingdom, Tuesday May 24, 2011.

And, is it common for Americans to use “24 May” rather than May 24?

That is the format the military uses - 24 May 2011 - would be correct for today if handwritten. All other dates on electronic documents are now in the YYYY/MM/DD or 2011/05/24 as today's date.

The majority of the military correspondence I receive has that day/month/year formatting.

This way, he is still NOT responsible for everything currently happening under the sun.

The buck continues to stop at his predecessor’s desk.

but that comes from being in the military for 24 years.

22 year as a civilian with the Department of the Army has done the same for me.

It probably is for anyone in Gov’t. I remember adjusting to that during bootcamp.

How will the left deal with this gaffe?
Ignore it.
Claim Obama didnt write the date.
Claim it was photoshopped.
Obama invented a time machine.

Bad grammar, too.
It has a superfluous comma.
Jus’ sayin.

I’d hazard to guess that he’d seen that date on the previous signing or one near it. I’ve done this sometimes and it is a sign that you really aren’t into and concentrating on what you’re doing because it doesn’t mean anything to you.

I did not know that. Of course there is a wiki article on the subject:

And what kind of fancy-pants, flowery, lady signature is that? So over-the-top, BO.

I do it sometimes when signing guestbooks abroad.

On second thought, maybe that loud ‘CLANK’ yesterday really is his noggin hitting the roof of his armored car.
