Obama flubs toast to the queen...

Do these wizards in the White House not have someone in charge of protocol? 

One minute of hilarity ensues as Obama keeps talking over the orchestra playing God Save the Queen.  Toasts are to be done after the playing of God Save the Queen.  The lack of expressions on the faces of the guests speaks volumes.  Hopefully he didn't drink out of the finger bowl.

You can dress him up but you can't take him anywhere.

What an embarrassment.

mary ellen took my comment!

what an embarrassment that man is to our country!

MightyMom said...

hey, does it mean anything that the Queen did NOT take a drink, just gestured with her glass?

Helene said...

Did anyone notice he paused because he had to look down at his notes to complete the toast. He can't do anything without a teleprompter. He should take some lessons from Netanyahu.

Michelle said...

OH BOY!

He's a keeper, huh?

:\

I knew the cretin wouldn't disappoint!
Jethro of the bev hilbillies has more class.

Moochie looked like she was wearing a straight jacket, which is what they both should be confined in.
He can't even string together 3 words for a toast without notes. What MORONS! Very entertaining though, I laughed ALOT!

Bunni, Chell, Helene, Mary Ellen, Sub, Priscilla, Blue -

A truly cringe worthy moment...

MM - I think you're on to something. Did you catch her looking down at his notes as though to say, "Is that guy such a moron he can't even do a simple toast without notes?" Hubby said someone should do a screen capture of that moment and put a balloon over head with "WTF"

Also - you are never to make a long toast to the queen like that. Never!

Proof yet again that Obama needs a teleprompter to coach ABSOLUTELY everything he says & does in public. I wouldn't be surprised if he needs one on while at home too. Pathetic.

VSO said...

Doh!

MaryW said...

Sigh...

I physically cringed when he had to read note cards to make the toast. His followers say he is brilliant and graduated Summa Cum Laude or something from Harvard...where's the evidence of that?
