Toast
Did you see Chalaque Obama screw up a toast?
Normally, a toast of “To Her Majesty, the Queen” would be sufficient. But not to the World’s Smartest Human™. Oh, no. He-Who-Shall-Not-Shut-The-Hell-Up kept on rambling, over the national anthem.
How many ways can a man embarrass himself, and, by extension due to his position, an entire country?
I propose a toast: To November 6, 2012.

Poor lady is standing there thinking, “Dear God, I’m too old to be putting up with such horrible people.”

I thought it was a bit much when he slapped an Obama 2008 bumper sticker on the queen’s limo and Michelle chest-bumped poor Prince Phillip to the ground.

I know Obama wants to continue disrespecting Britain, thinking it an American custom, but he fails to understand that we’ve already whipped them at Yorktown and McHenry, and had to essentially bail them out in two world wars.
But Obama doesn’t even understand why and what for our soldiers fought in the Revolution or the Civil War, so this isn’t surprising.

What an embaressing buffoon. The stealth inviso-bucket on his head must have prevented him from hearing the music. But did he bow to her? Oh never mind, no need to ask, she’s not muslim.
If W had done this it would be front page news,with breaks into regular programming to keep us up to date on the looming toast crisis.

That picture is just screaming out to be the next lolbama!…

maybe he thought it was a standing ovation for him

You may have actually hit on the truth there!

I’ll drink to that, Basil.

It’s like the Oscars ceremony – they start playing music when it’s time for you to shut up and go away.

DamnCat nailed it!
On a related note, when will our fashionsavvy first lady learn to dress appropriately for events? She looked like a buffoon with her short skirt flying all over the place.

You’re in a group of people which includes Philip. You’re the one who commits the embarrassing faux pas. Wow.

It would have seemed more natural if BHO had raised a toast with a bottle in a brown paper bag…and less embarrassing too.
May 25th, 2011 at 10:18 am
Royal screw up.

His toast was toast.

Okay, how ’bout now? Have they revised that study on which country has the most obnoxious tourists now?

Toast on a Stick.

Toast with dill weed.
May 25th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
Burnt toast. (I’ll betcha the guy can’t even make toast.)
Sh!t on a shingle. (Hey! FYI, that’s what sailors call “chipped beef on toast.”)

(Raises bottle of Valu-Rite Vodka) To November 6, 2012!!

Was it just me or did he not take a drink? Who makes a toast and doesn’t drink?
May 25th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
It could have been worse, consider this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etRQS0viRBE

The guy went to finishing school where they teach you the proper etiquette of stabbing the nearest Jew as you make a toast, so give him a break. Later they were kind enough to lay that big ferris wheel on it’s side so Michelle could sit on it, or, in their language, said that’s not a scratching post, you cow, but since you broke it, have seat. Nice enough blokes, them Limeys.

I’m pretty sure he thought they were actually playing “America the beautiful” in honor of him, rather than playing the British national anthem.
May 26th, 2011 at 9:00 am
I’m sure he thought that the music was to make his “heartfelt” toast more dramatic. Notice how he reads it from a card? His teleprompter was not invited I guess.

Except that’s not anyone’s national anthem, that is “My Country Tis of Thee.” Great patriotic tune, but not a national anthem.

You do realize that someone might think you’re serious, right?
It is, by tradition, the national anthem of the U.K., and official national anthem of
Canada, Australia,New Zealand, as well as the tune used as national anthem for other countries.It is the royal anthem of Canada and Australia.

I did realize that about U.K. but didn’t realize that about New Zealand. But the joke behind my comment was (and yes, I do realize explaining jokes means they aren’t funny…hence my nick-name of Lord of Lame):
“I’m the president of the United States, the only dictator, I mean person, that matters. Your little country, and your little anthem mean nothing when I’m speaking. You should all listen to what I say, not some second-rate musicians.”

RedeemedBoyd:
I really do wonder if he knew that was their national anthem (de facto, but so was The Star Spangled for the U.S. for many years before 1931).
Of course, he doesn’t know how to act for it, either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwog6E08CFU

Ah yes the famous crotch salute.
