Obama-"gaffe" at Westminster Abbey
But the president seemed to have made a gaffe during the occasion - signing Westminster Abbey's distinguished visitors' book with the wrong year.
Mr Obama dated his entry in the book May 24 2008, rather than the current year.
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.

1. That's life
Innocent mistakes are what being human is all about.
WTF??? I can see writing the wrong year in early January by writing the year just past, but to miss it by 3 years?

What if Bush did that? (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1164961)
If I were Obama, I'd want it to be 2008, too.

3. BFD.....he's human.
I'm sure this will lead the news on Fox tonight, but to the sane amongst us, it's nothing.
BFD? If it were Bush, there would be a dozen threads about this at the DUmp.

Being off by three years on the current date is a sign of soooooooper jeanus.
I still maintain that Obama has an IQ between 85-95.

Senile? No, he's always been nuts. Then there is the long-term effect of all that coke back in his youth, of course.

May 24 2008
I too daydream of the days before he was elected.

If people knew then what they know now, I don't think he'd have ever won his primary.

If Palin had done this...

Where it Bush the dump would be resplendent with graphics similar to this:

and stories about how he was drinking again.

hussein is the poster boy for that old ad, "This is your brain on drugs!"

So he can't even write without a teleprompter?

I've done this before. I'm defending him I just know I've done the same thing...

Too many Guiness stouts?

"DAMN ME-SHALL! ....three years....That's the longest high we've ever been on."

No doubt the teleprompter is smarter, but just as transparent.

Those were the good old days. In 2008, we still had 57 states.

Senile/Stupid

I can see writing 10 in 11 but he missed the whole correct decade.

9. Wait--over 2 years now into the presidency
and he's only made a handful of mistakes? I would call him a winner compared to the last administrator.
A handful of mistakes? A freaking handful?
I would be :rotf: if it weren't so serious how he's ****ed up this country.

We are never going to see the school records of Heussein, never.

The difference between you and 0 is that you've probably never claimed to be the one that we've been waiting for. And I'm pretty sure you're not worshipped as lord and savior by unwashed masses.
Of course in 0's defense, Bush probably caused it.

His most famous blunder occurred when he mistakenly altered student William Figueroa's correct spelling of "potato" to "potatoe" at an elementary school spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey, on June 15, 1992.[15][16] Although he was relying on cards provided by the school, which included the misspelling, Quayle was widely lambasted for his apparent inability to spell the word "potato". According to his memoirs, Quayle was uncomfortable with the version he gave, but did so because he decided to trust the school's incorrect written materials.

Another case of the liberal media editting out the parts that might show anything favorable about a conservative.
Why didn't they show Obama's 57 states mistake over and over and over and over and over?........ :-)

Who hasn't mistaken it for three years ago? I'd bitchslap you, but you're at 666 bitchslaps and I kind of don't want to be the one to change that number.

Maybe robot Obama had a glitch.

Why couldn't he get confused about the date being Jan 22, 2012 and just sail off into the sunset with Me chell my bell.

Well if high unemployment, high gas prices, high food prices, and selling Israel out is winning, then he is a winner, in the Charlie Sheen sense.

Like it would be that hard to have the same declaration made against Choo-Choo.
I think of it as a 2-for-1 and then we instal Boehner until the election.
I've already got the Diebold vote totals tallied.
