Perhaps this is the hazard of appearing with other country's leaders. They don't allow you to get away with whatever you want. They have their own lackeys.
Still, the look on The One's face is priceless. It's like he's five and the box that arrived with the morning mail had nothing in it for him, downturned mouth and all.
Rush's take on the incident is hilarious; this transcript has the conversation of the various MSM adulators who cluck that the Queen should have saved Obama.
Maybe it was that iPod that did it for her.
Rush, who is sure the MSM would have been more sympathetic to Bush:
Libs blame botched toast on everyone but Obama.The first thing you look at is the Queen, and you note the Queen fully aware of the gaffe that's taking place here. I mean you do not offer the Queen your glass until the music's over. You don't pick up your glass and offer your Queen your glass to toast until the music's over. He had no teleprompter 'cause you can't put one in there so he's got no cards and they're on the table, and they're way back so he has to lean over to read every other word of the toast.
Meanwhile The One found an award he DIDN'T want and managed to offend the Brits with a peremptory refusal to attend the award ceremony. From The Telegraph:
he US President rejected the invitation from the world-leading group of scientists and instead chose to visit a south London state school.
Sources close to the state visit said members of the Royal Society were “deeply offended” by the snub and had accused Mr Obama of being obsessed with his “street cred”.Michelle enjoyed
Mr Not-So-Secret Service talked into his lapels and looked straight ahead when I asked him a question; his answers were perfunctory to say the least.
But on the subject of Michelle Obama, he was positively exuberant.
“She has this glamour that I haven’t seen before. She isn’t just a First Lady. She is Hollywood.”
Hollywood? Mmmm. Yeah. That's probably true.
Meanwhile, The One was having difficulty without his teleprompter. Telegraph:
Perhaps Mr Obama was smothered also by his audience, which remained stubbornly unresponsive. For most of the time the President had nothing to bounce off: no applause and certainly no shouts of praise or blame as might be heard in an American church or at an American political rally.
So have a good time over there, Obamas, playing ping pong, sipping $1700 wine and rubbing shoulders with royalty while the country suffers through natural disasters. We wouldn't want to put you out, because, dang it, every time you plan a vacation, the MSM sympathizes that something bad happens in the United States that just ruins, RUINS your vacations.
No, in fact, we hope you feel right at home over there.
Right at home.
Back at the ranch, Obama operatives are busy accusing people who disagree with The One of being racists.
WASHINGTON — House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking African-American in Congress, on Wednesday blamed most of President Barack Obama's political problems on racism
And the taxpayers are now paying someone to "terminate" bloggers who disagree with The One
Yowza. Just think what the Republicans will be able to do when they get back in office.
It sort of has the feel of "My Fair Lady" where Liza Dolittle doesn't have the rudiments of culture, etiquette, manners or protocol.
