LONDON – It was all going so well.
But when the time came for President Obama to deliver his toast to Queen Elizabeth Tuesday night, the meticulously planned state dinner at Buckingham Palace turned, well, awkward.
As Obama began wrapping up his remarks, he put down his notecards and picked up his glass.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast,” the president said, as the guests stood up. “To her majesty the Queen.”
At this point, the band queued up “God Save the Queen.” But Obama wasn’t quite finished yet.
So he kept talking – over the British national anthem – and the president competed with orchestra for a few more seconds.
“For the vitality,“ Obama said just before the music started, “of the special relationship between our peoples, and in the words of Shakespeare, ‘To this blessed plot, this Earth, this realm, this England.’”
Obama raised his glass, but nobody else in view of the camera followed. And the queen, who had been looking straight ahead, glanced over to offer a pained smile.

Personally I think State might be sabotaging him. ;)
Maybe the jackass thought your country’s anthem was his soundtrack or something. It’s buffoons like him and his prep team that make us all look bad here on this side of the pond.
But our next president will know how to comport herself with dignity and class.
Oh My God...I so totally HATE THIS MAN, a complete stupid fool hellbent on destroying America and a total embarrassment to boot. Both of them...Moochie and the Imposter.
LOL! Actually, if you watch the entire speech, the Queen laughed and smiled at first, but Obama just kept going on and on and, eventually, everyone at the table looked like they were thinking, “Maybe if we just ignore him, he’ll go away.”
“Maybe if we just ignore him, he’ll go away.”
I wondered if the Queen owns a butler’s bell under the table...que the music!!! Now!!!
He screwed up a most basic piece of protocol. That's on HIM. Five words and this feckless fool had to ramble for want of a teleprompter. I'm surprised he didn't try to get "I" and "me" in there somehow.
You are kidding I hope. WHO do you think knows
MORE about protocol, the Queen or Bammy the Stupid??
Does anyonew have the picture os Moochelle when she was with Kate?? Laura Ingraham was talking about her outfit, but I haven’t seen it. Was she dressed right at the banquet?
This guy just rambles on and on and on and on. The Putz isn’t the only one on drugs — the numbskull writing the cue cards must be sharing the stash.
He’s a dumbazz.
You getting all this anti-0 spies?
He is a dumbazz. Go print a rebuttal of that!
What a circus act this trip is turning out to be.——————
All of his trips, and day to day here in the U.S. have been the same way...
Only now some of it is actually getting out, not locked in a closet, or threatened to be banned....

Yet another pratfall for the Kenyan clown.
Notice how her dress matches the Queen's sofa. And the ever present Klingon belt.
