Queen humiliates US President

August · 05-25-11, 03:01 PM

Sorry Brits. Not all of us are bumpkins like our illustrious president.

So if I understand this right, the problem was when he continued to talk while God save the Queen was playing

Was any one alive there?
Besides Obama.

Sure was!

Odd thing is...why was the anthem started when Obama was not finished with his toast? Looks to me like the band screwed up protocal!

Yeah, the band prolly thought the pause in Obama's speech was the actual end of the speech.

Or maybe Obama added something to the end, that wasn't in the original speech.

Dunno.

They borrowed the band from the Oscars telecast.

Obligatory:

I watched this live (sad bugga that I am) and that is the only reason I can think of.

I did notice she said something like "That's or your very kind" at the end of his speech though.

Guess we'll just have to wait until someone releases their memoirs before we find out.

I could be wrong but as far as I know the British press haven't picked up on it

What poor sucker has pressed "Play" too early?

Castout · 05-25-11, 04:28 PM

The fault is to whoever decided to play the music while US president was still in the middle of his toast speech.

What he did was an insult to a US president and hence to all Americans.

Oberon · 05-25-11, 04:35 PM

Right, that's it, give it back now.

tater · 05-25-11, 04:36 PM

Funny, cause he usually kowtows to royalty.

Regardless of who made the mistake, I hardly think that anyone was humiliated.
