Gaffetastic… Obama Signs Wrong Date (Off by 3 Years) in Westminster Abbey Book
Gateway Pundit ^ | 5-24-11 | Jim Hoft

Could you even imagine Sarah Palin or some other Republican doing this? We’d never hear the end of it.



A message from US President Barack Obama and his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, apparently signed by the President with the wrong date of 2008 in the distinguished visitors’ book during a tour of Westminster Abbey, in central London, as part of his state visit to the United Kingdom, Tuesday May 24, 2011.

Good one. And isn’t it just a month to the day after the Royal Wedding, to which neither Zero nor Sasquatch was invited?

How WOULD he know what date it is?

It’s not as if his iReggie was standing next to him.

The only way he knows that it’s Sunday is that he goes to play golf.

Muslim friend of UK restaurant nail-bomber shocked, shocked that he would do such a thing

Snips (from May 24, 2008): UK Nail Bombing Update. "Islamic Friend Of Reilly 'Stunned' At Bomb Plot," from thisisplymouth.co.uk, May 24 (thanks to Twostellas)

He says the 3,500 strong Muslim community in Plymouth are moderate and he knows of no groups which would have preached hate.

Of course not! Never mind that the Channel 4 documentary uncovering jihadist preaching in British mosques has been vindicated. Nope, no jihadists here!

Fellow worshippers at the mosque at a former Labour Party office in Plymouth said they were shocked at the arrest.

Just seeing *Commemorgate* starting me to thinking of how many subcategories we could have under the title of *Dumbassgate* for this ass-clown.
From the 57 state thing (Stategate), trying to get back in the White Hut through a window (Windowgate), pronouncing *Corpsman* as *corpse-man* (Corpse-mangate) and on and on.

Not to mention that he placed an unnecessary comma in the sentence....bad punctuation, lousy signature and he doesn’t know what the year is...

“The proposed version, which you have sent over, has been shared with staff, and is now going through final technical stages. It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters ‘OGC’ - and is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on government spend!”

Well, whatever you call it, you know the MSM is going to be falling all over themselves to excuse it. Jet lag. Or he had a lot of important stuff on his mind. Or, something.

HotAir has the link to the signing video from the Telegraph. Apparently Mr Obama was heard to ask the dean what the day’s date was – but managed to get the year wrong.
A Westminster Abbey spokeswoman confirmed it was the president who had written the wrong date.

Maybe the date he entered has some kind of symbolic meaning in the muzzie calendar. Everything seems to.

That's what I said, too. A lot going on in Iraq at the time.

Who writes the date 24 May??? Not what you learn in American schools.
