Royal Flush! Obama Screws Up Toast To The Queen Of England

It’s probably just ”racist” to point out any mistakes Obama makes.
After all, he is nearly 1/2 black.

I agree with you, Smorgs. It is easy to get caught up in the moment and find fault with every little thing he does. I would rather he be over there making blunders and faux pas, than back here at home pushing his agenda via regulatory fiat.

That being said however, one would think his staffers would brief him on proper protocol. Then again, that is what you get when you surround yourself with folks who have little to no real world experience.

Come on.
Let us talk about the guest book dated 2008.
Let us talk about the grounded tank-limousine.
Let us discuss the dress made from drapery fabric.
Let us consider the rave reviews of Moochelle’s appearance.
Let us consider the assurance to Joplin that Pres is right there with them.
Right.
It is just too much.
I am a mathematician. We deal with counting a lot. There are sets which can be counted, and there are sets which are so large that they cannot be counted. The Gaffes of Obama are in the uncountable category. Trust me on this.

Acutally, the gaffe in protocol when toasting the Queen is not such a little thing. The Brits put much more stock in pomp and ceremony than we do when it comes to the head of their country. And how sad is it that for something like a simple toast, Obama has to use cue cards to know what to say?

Where is his protocol office? Did they not explain to him that when the British national anthem is playing, he stands erect (at least he can get by without putting his hand over his heart for the British national anthem) and faces the flag? This is not rocket science, kids, this is standard protocol. But noooooooooo, Obama continues to give his lengthy toast, in spite of the anthem playing. Perhaps the band did mistake the cue, but protocol demanded that Obama put down his glass, shut the hell up and allow the anthem to play. The cost of the “I’m just sucking up to you” trip, $$$millions; the look on the Queen’s face, priceless.

In a way, the video exposes the lie of “greatest orator ever” when Obama has to check a cue card to say two sentences.

Now he is giving his speech to a bored looking Parliment. Of course, the teleprompters are there is all their glory. Compare that to the speech given by a REAL statesman yesterday that lasted 45 minutes and was done without the use of even one teleprompter.

Obama is, at best, an embarrassment to this nation for his lack of potocol, and at worst, an absolute idiot that cannot be taught proper protocol, even though we taxpayers fund an office for his to do precisely that. But that is what happens when you put someone in office who is simply a myth. A puppet of those who are actually pulling the strings.

And Smorgs, this is NOT a little thing. Remember how we all reacted when Obama did the crotch salute during OUR national anthem? Well, he doubled down by not showing proper respect to either the British national anthem or the Queen. He embarrassed our entire nation with his crass actions.

Rich Wheeler, going to Ireland does not Irish make you. Hell, if you go back far enough, you can trace your heritage to Iraq (assumed location of the Garden of Eden).

And yeah, I think the Brits care about Obama’s total lack of protocol.

As a true Irishman he should have known better.

Rich Wheeler, did you watch Obama’s speech, or actually his reading from his two teleprompters, to the British Parliment? They looked like they were all about to enter a coma. Rousing ovation? Nah, it’s just that the British are more polite than the man who was speaking in front of them. There were no “here, here” coming from the Parliment. Just bordom.

And I can, if I try hard enough, link YOU to Cheney. It’s all bullshit. Like I said, if you go back far enough I can link you to your Saddamn Hussein.

And go ahead in believing in evolution. I have no doubt your ancestors swung from trees. But mine didn’t.

@retire05:

Retiro5 I missed Obama’s speech to the British Paliament.
But often times I catch the coverage of the British Parliament questioning the Prime Minister…..once a week I think.
It is amazing how easily the British Lords and Commons can frame excellent, complex questions.
Then it is also amazing how beautifully the PM expresses himself (all off the cuff) to answer all their questions.
The ”here-heres” and the negative comments happen frequently.
To applaud is not done, during those Q&A meetings anyway.

anticsrocks Retire 05 is a proud creationist. I’m hopeful he’ll give us a heads up on any upcoming raptures.J.G. has extremely well thought out posts.
GET WELL

Randy, basically the elite British (like the monarchy) thinks we are a bunch of upstarts who are too big for our britches. When Obama continued with his [cue card] comments [you would think he could manage two sentences with out cue cards] the look on the Queen’s face was absolute gold. She had that “Damn, is this the best those colonists can do?” look on her face, and it was priceless to see Obama look as damn uncomfortable as he did as he realized that he wasn’t impressing anyone and had just committed a major faux pas.
