2008 was a good year for Barack Obama. He won the election and became the first black president, after all. And even though it’s now 2011, it seems 2008 is still at the forefront of Obama’s mind. See, while on his state visit in London today, Obama signed the guest book at the famed Westminster Abbey, but he didn’t date it May 24, 2011 — instead he put “24 May 2008”
File this under: “If Bush Had Done This…”
When will someone in the media start telling the truth — Obama at best is an ultra lightweight in the brains department.
-Bruce (GayPatriot)
UPDATE (from Dan): Bruce, I caught that too and wondered if Obama were reliving his glory days of 2008, when he could campaign as the outsider militating for change, always running against George W. Bush, never defending his own record. The president, I believe, is living in the past. (Here, while both taking note of the error, Bruce and I offer very different interpretations. Had I posted first on this, I would have used a different title, something involving “Glory Days.”)
Obama forgot his teleprompter. He later said he made the mistake due to jet lag. This is something one cannot spin; it’s just so bad.
actually it is quite clever. . .leaves everyone thinking about Obama in 2008.
After reading Dan’s update, basking in the Glory Days isa great reminder for those who voted for O.
He’s just using 2011, adjusted for inflation.
Nah, I’d go with “sad”. The man *wishes* it were 2008. Living in the past. Knows (on some level) that he is in over his head.
Is it really clever? How is it clever to make everyone think he’s a dumbass?
If it were really clever, he wouldn’t have tried to use a limp-dick excuse of ‘jet-lag.’
Jet lag?! Yeah, it’s like what?…a 4 hour flight to Ireland on what is essentially a Ritz-Carlton in the sky that caters to the First Family’s every whim and desire–who wouldn’t be EXHAUSTED by such a draining journey?
What a fu*king loser.
Westminster Abbey official confirmed it was Odumbo that dated the page incorrectly.
His jet lag was from visiting all 57 states…
Obviously it works on dim-witted culties.
Why does Obama have 2008 on his mind? He must be really looking to win the future by mining the past of his 2008 fluke election. Poor baby. He better be wearing his Depends.
What’s more interesting is how his signature incorporates both giving us the finger and mooning us.
FTR… I called it “living in the past” here, before Dan did in his Update 😉
The Buffonery continues…
Come on, cultists. Dear Reader needs your slobbering defense.
One thing you don’t do is turn your back to Her Majesty. Obama seems the type who would do that multiple times without a thought. I’d be curious to know if he ever did so.
Odumbo? Why do you even pretend that this site exists for any kind of real discourse?
You don’t your back on Her Majesty? Glad our founding fathers didn’t let that kind of rhetoric get in their way.
Get back to us when does this kind of thing on a regular basis, or does something like, oh, I don’t know, tries to give the queen a neck rub.
The culties seem to get a little agitated when the shortcomings of their mahogany godling are pointed out.
Anyone know if Kevin condemned President Clinton for getting more than his neck ‘rubbed’ by an intern?
Or does that questional touching not bother him because she’s not royalty?
Andrew Brown in The Telegraph writes:
And yet, The Won fumbles the toast. Well, when you have to go native without the TelePrompTer and the stupid band starts playing God Bless America and the dumb queen stands there like she is respecting the national anthem or something, what is Obambi to do? Why, press on, of course. After all, he has brought himself to Buckingham Palace so the queen can see him.
On the other hand, the conductor of the band paid no attention whatsoever to The Won other than to listen attentively for those three little words: “To the Queen.” Clearly, the conductor must be exiled or, preferably, shot.
Thank heavens Kevin can issue The Won a pass on the toast and another pass on the 2008 brain malfunction. That is one of the special privileges of being on the control side of political correctness.
“Get back to us when does this kind of thing on a regular basis”
I think twice in 2 days makes it a regular thing.
Just to rub it in, I bet Sarah Palin knows what year it is.
VtheK —-> LOL!!!
Kevin, get back to us when you have a post that’s not some f*cked up stream of disjointed, rambling words.
He does. You’ve simply chosen to pretend otherwise.
And I’m wondering it the robot Obama is falling apart.
Obama’s frequent ‘idiot’ type of misstatements may be cute, but it’s His policy flubs that endanger us. This week, his statement about returning Israel to its 1967 borders was probably the biggest. Even Dana Milbank, a Washington Post liberal, gets it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/into-netanyahus-arms/2011/05/24/AFH6CjAH_story.html?wprss=
The other day, when I was watching the vid of President O’Bama in Ireland…. Something was nagging me. My BA is in Telecommunication w/ a specialty in Radio / TV / Film production… And I swear the audio on that video – the cheers – are added… The video is padded. The audio is sweetened.
Maybe today, if I find the time, I’ll try and find some on-line, non-media sanctioned video to see if I’m right.
Will blog the results.
(Sorry, it was technically last week; I was thinking ‘this last several days’.)
That was a no-consequence fumble. Our last president fumbled his way daily through eight long years, and damaged or ended many thousands of lives in the process.
Richard R, one word for ya: Libya.
To continue the Obama-Israel train of thought… on Powerline’s advice, last night I watched the video of Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. It was worth it: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2011/05/029094.php
Nope. Not sweetened. I was wrong.
#17: “mahogany godling”
Genius, V the K. Pure genius.
A poster at Doug Powers, The Powers That Be Blog, said that President Obama may have been drunk when he wrote the 2008 gaffe & not realized he was drunk until after the fact. It’s called Alcoholic Anxiety:
http://dougpowers.com/2011/05/24/obama-year/
The brews from Ireland may not have worn off by the time he got to England given Team Obama had to rush off to avoid being grounded in Ireland due to Iceland’s volcanic eruption.
#30: “Richard R, one word for ya: Libya.”
ILC, maybe you already saw this but speaking of Libya, The Guardian published a story yesterday showing the breakdown of each participating country’s share of military personnel dedicated to the “operation” there. Despite Obama’s attempts to downplay the US’s role, there’s no doubt that as always, our contribution (& sacrifice) is substantially greater than any other nation’s.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/may/22/nato-libya-data-journalism-operations-country#
But but… the War Powers act! Think of the War Powers act Sean!
Robert at least acknowledges that his idol made a mistake. Kevin and rusty can’t even bring themselves to admit their mahogany godling is fallible.
Still on the Obama-Israel train of thought, his fellow Democrats now can’t repudiate his irresponsible comments fast enough: http://hotair.com/archives/2011/05/25/oh-my-senate-dems-to-rebuke-obama-over-israel-border-comments/
Are you starting to understand how Obama makes all these other blunders in the oval office?
He gets the date wrong by three years because of jet lag? Huh? What else has he gotten wrong because of flying too much?
When he is on teleprompter he’s a boob. When off the teleprompter he’s a colossal boob.
I feel for the people of the mid west who are being devastated by natural wonders, and our dear President is attending monarchs and pols. Nice.
thanks V. . .tis mighty Christian of you
was thinking about that old ‘to err is human, to forgive – divine’
but hey. . .have fun

Just saw ole dopey trying to toast the Queen of England. I’m kind of embarassed. Can’t they make, like a teleprompter, that hangs around Obamas neck? That way he won’t be on his own anymore. Geeez.
Gene, if you look carefully, Obama is obviously reading a speech from something written down as constantly looks down at the speech on the paper; he was meant to say something in brief, but Obama couldn’t even speak off the cuff. Yet he still muddled his words & lost track of time. Obama was waiting for an applause line, but the band took it as he was finished so they began playing. Obama was out of his element since it required his own wits.
SS
I appreciated how the 85 year old monarch didn’t embarass our dopey liberal President. She could have just taken him by the hand and shuued him off, or demanded he sit down and shut up.
Gene, the queen left Obama dangling in the wind; she was cold to him thanks to egotistical gaffe.
Kevin – you may need to get a CAT Scan for the rambling, disjointed post…the sooner the better.

Isn’t it entertaining about how Obama worshipers demand of others that which they themselves never practice, which their idol Obama never does, and which they never under any circumstances would apply in their dealings with any other Republicans?
Obama Party members are all like Charles Rangel — screaming about how taxes need to be raised while dodging taxes themselves. Any calls for “civility” or “forgiveness” should be taken in the context of the Obama Party calling for Sarah Palin’s imprisonment and torture — as utter hypocrisy and bullshit.
Why should Obama change the year he writes, when he hasnt changed his behavior??? He’s never stopped campaigning. Which is why he doesnt know how to go to a foreign country and represent Americans, but can only ever talk about himself. Me, me, me, I, I, I.
Cus campaigning is ALL the utterly unqualified, inexperienced, incompetent tool knows.

One can’t expect anything better of them, sadly.
