Yeah, it annoyed people here too, and, so far, has been mainly seen as yet another example of American boorishness.

Rubbed me the wrong way - That's just me. Of course that assumes (from both of us) that Obama is American, the factuality of which is still not established.

I think we've so far established his assumed father was a subject of the British Crown and his mother was a skanky ho who rutted with dirty hippies.

No, fair enough, don-o. I see your meaning now. It was in no way my intention to insult you or anyone else here.

I was trying to report on the opinion here in the UK - not only of Obama continuing to talk during the anthem, but his behavior in failing to actually toast the Queen, which is totally unacceptable. A simply sign of respect for your host, totally ignored.

If my word choice offended, I apologise, but it was honestly the only word for his behaviour that sprang to mind, having been bandied about quite openly on the various political boards here.
