ouch…
I thought he handled that quite well. The orchestra was rude.
Good ole community organizer turned President. All that governing experience is clearly paying off lmao
He’s finished. You don’t treat your overlords like that.
OK, I have tried to avoid seeing this distraction, but….
I can forgive a slight blunder on coordination between the orchestra and the speech writers, but
I cannot forgive the obvious insult of proposing a toast to someone, then not even giving the appearance of drinking the toast.
These people are only here for our entertainment anyway.
It wasn’t like he tried to pour it down the crack of her butt and drink it. Who was wearing the horse head in the dress on his right?
The air craft carrier anchored nearby and steel birds in the air over London, probably didn’t help, either.
What does a “ceremony” mean if you don’t follow the protocol?
Silly Hoomans.
In days of yore, the English Monarch would have had the head of their impudent visitor lopped off for such a serious infraction. This, however, is a kinder, gentler Queen, and she has greatly restricted the practice, especially with her joy over the recent marriage of her dear grandson.
She was also mindful that upon Obama’s beheading, the replacement would be that dreadful Joe Biden fellow.
I can appreciate a president when these are the only faults people can dig up.
GOD. Just make him go the fuck AWAY.
Sourcing Glen Beck is like sourcing the Onion.
# 13 simple yet eloquent and to the point. I’m still trying to figure out how he got here.
Obama’s “Smart Diplomacy” is losing our allies and just pissing off our enemies even more.
#14 The Frank Drebin, Police Squad comparison is perfect for this buffoon.
Anybody care to state what Obama has done “wrong?”==other than keep so many troops overseas that is.
I read Beck’s list and either it is total nitpicking or I flat disagree with them.
all this Obama bashing without SPECIFICS is nonsense. Its like saying: “I think the Sun is doing a very bad job of being the Sun.” But you don’t know why do you? Too hot, too cold, too round.
Stupid Hoomans. Fond of giving voice to their “opinions” even when groundless and unexamined. At least Alfie has reasons—REASONS why he is insane. The rest of you got nuttin’ and that is sadder by degrees.
@jbenson2 – I don’t think that one is upsetting anyone here. The BBC announcer working hard to keep a straight face.
At least this one makes us laugh. His predecessor did a lot more to loose your allies.
Alfie–WHAT did Obama do? How did Obama “betray” the Brits.
Stop walking in goose step: exactly what did Obama do, or even the State Department/White House Office “in his name”?
Have you got anything or just conclusionary words of no information at all?
Betrayal sounds pretty bad–must be something there huh?
We’ll wait. And “No” I’m not going to look it up for you and guess at what you might be misinterpreting.
#22 Obama handing the nuclear weapon serial codes over to the Russians for the weapons on board British subs certainly upset a few folks on both sides of the Atlantic.
Many of the USA dumbocrats are starting to realize that the Presidency is not meant for on-the-job training.
JB–ok, that “sounds like” a major betrayal. But as in all things political and “anti-Obama” it has the ring of shrimp on treadmills.
My first google shows the issue is “nonsense.”
http://telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8304654/WikiLeaks-cables-US-agrees-to-tell-Russia-Britains-nuclear-secrets.html
These are USA provided missles and the USA and Russia already trade this information between themselves in PUBLIC documents. The info came from WikiLeaks which only has access to “Secret” documents–the lowest level of secrecy.
Yes, more asshats trying to make mountains out of tabloid fodder for the politically insane.
Would you like MediCare Cuts with that?
#23, Thanks for letting us know that there are actually representatives of a conservative American “think tank” openly promoting a hostile view abroad of our current administration. You may claim that they are only “reminding” the people in England of the facts, but we’ve seen how the facts can always be spun to promote a particular agenda. In the case of the Heritage Foundation, their agenda is clearly hostile to our current administration, but it’s still surprising to see them so openly promoting their positions abroad.
I noticed that the Vice President of the Heritage Foundation is David Addington, who was formerly Dick Cheney’s chief of staff (succeeding Scooter Libby) and who helped craft and promote some of the most controversial and secret policies of the Bush/Cheney administration. I’d say that if anyone is qualified to help undermine our administration to promote a conservative agenda, Addington’s credentials and history certainly make him familiar with all the levers.

#12 This guy has enough political blunders and speeches in which he flatly contradicts himself on YouTube to to sink a container ship. The only thing I can think off to commend him for is he seems to be a good husband and parent and he does know how to make politics pay off in cold hard cash.
#11 Your point is well taken. The thought of Joe Biden as president is too dreadful to contemplate.
Alfie–of course its “facts dependent” but it sounds like there was no betrayal here at all rather there was a disagreement. totally different thing. Seems to me, if the Brits don’t want Russia to know how many Nukes they have, they can and should make their own?
Ha, ha. Poor Pukes. So much hate, so little imagination.
#25 I’m planning on retiring next year in part because my memory is not what is used to be. It appears yours is worse. You might want to check that out and good luck.
32–do-ill==specific links? and what is your metrix of comparison when it comes to Presidents making political blunders. I can think of one:
Promising to push for single payer and caving in too early to PUKES who push for poor people to die as soon as possible to keep the waiting lines short for the Rich.
Is that what you mean? No argument then.
I actually feel sorry for him, he seems to have a history screw-ups with the British.
You would have thought that those years in the University of Chicago adjunct faculty lounge would have prepared Obama for this.
#42–PedoBreath==I CHALLENGE you to find a single post in which I have EVER used the term Repuke or Repukes.
Stupid Pukes can’t even get it right when they are right.
Ha, ha.
I don’t know, maybe the fact that he restricts our drilling for oil while paying Brazil to drill. Maybe even outspending FDR with shit to show for it.

This is a major step up for a guy who doesn’t care for the British, colonialism and all that.
