He probably was confused when all of the sudden the band started playing My Country ‘Tis Of Thee.
Now the doofus might consider speaking like a normal person instead of pausing at the end of every 2 or 3 words. The orchestra can’t be blamed for thinking he was finished. Heck! After we hear 2 or 3 words out of his mouth, we don’t want to hear any more either! Can we shut him up by playing music??
Sorry haven’t read the whole thread so someone else may have said this, but it’s Obama’s stupid sentence inflection that doomed him. He says the first sentence ending with “to the Queen” and his voice inflection makes it sound like the end, and he gives a long pause. Additionally, when the music starts, he doesn’t think oops, I miscued the orchestra, he keeps talking instead of shutting up. If he could think without a teleprompter, he would have shut up, waited for the anthem to end, and then spoken up to finish the toast. I’ll bet a box of really good donuts he didn’t even realize that was the British National Anthem he had just blabbed through.
We all know Ronald Reagan and GWB wouldn’t have needed cue cards to propose a toast to the Queen of England. He can’t do the simple things right - how can he tackle anything more difficult or serious than playing marbles?
Go easy on our president since he can’t help himself. Whenever he’s in front of a camera he’s compelled to be flapping his jaws.
The Queen also donned her coveralls during WWII and worked on military vehicles as a mechanic. I can’t imagine what she must be thinking about this pair.
Agreed. There is nothing humerous about this. He brings down shame upon this formeerly great nation, the United States of America.
Screw up that it is and embarrassing as it is to America that this dolt did this, the lovely music being played made his toast sound almost elegant..
I bet the queen gives orders NO MORE 0BAMAS TO MY PALACE!
Her Majesty audibly told the imposter to put the glass down.
He is either so clueless, or so arrogant, that he thinks only he is right and he doesn’t have to listen to anyone
That makes sense. She still raised her glass to her right and left with much grace. The reaction of Obama’s initial toast to her during the anthem was priceless.
I really believe that Obama thought they were playing "My Country 'Tis of Thee Me" as a backdrop for his shining moment in the spotlight.
I doubt he recognizes that, either.
What I told my lib friends today was classic. “he’s dumber than Bush, and he has a TelePrompTer.”
they weren’t amused. I was.
Let's not forget that Gordon Brown is legally blind.
I don't believe he figured it out. It looks to me like the queen said something to him. Possibly "set it down."
I like how Camilla starts to giggle when she realizes he actually made her look classy. She pulls it in quickly, but you know she's loving it.
I believe she said, “Stand By!”, in a rather forcefull voice.
But I can’t find a clip with the audio intact.
They like me. They really like me!
LOL, and quickly becoming a classic, at that.
And the videos were in the wrong format to be viewed no matter how well he can or can’t see.
