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.

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?



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.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

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

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.

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?........ :-)
