View Full Version : Obama botches toast to the queen

First Obama thinks it is 2008 now this. He is a bigger embarrassment then usual to the US on this trip
Again, if this was Sarah Palin, or ANY Republican, this would be the lead story with the liberal media
The president and the orchestra at Buckingham Palace this evening were a bit out of synch.
When the president toasted the Queen the orchestra misunderstood a pause and what seemed to be a cue from the president for “God Save the Queen” to begin playing.
“Ladies and gentlemen please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast,” the president said, putting down his note cards and grabbing his glass. “To her majesty the Queen.”
The president paused, the guests stood, and the orchestra prepared to play.
But the president wasn’t done speaking.
“The vitality –“ the president said before the orchestra began.
Then the familiar tune – you might know it better as “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” – started up.
The president kept going: “ -- of the special relationship between our peoples and for the words of Shakespeare to this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,” the president said as the awkward moment played out.
The Queen looked ahead as the UK anthem played.
“To the Queen,” the president finally said.
He lifted his glass to her, she smiled a bit uncomfortably.
But because the song was playing, no one drank from his or her glass, including the president, who put his glass down on the table.
Then once the song was over, everyone raised a glass.
It almost felt like one of those moments at the Academy Awards when the speech from the recipient for Best Original Screenplay goes on too long and the orchestra tries to hustle him or her off the stage.

No matter who's "fault" it was, he should have stopped talking during God Save the Queen.
His protocol department should be fired. Either they're doing a shitty job or he thinks he's above everyone else, pick one.

What I heard on the radio today was the band was to begin playing at the end of the toast when he raises his glass and says something like "To the Queen". The problem was that he started off with that line and the band started prematurely.
I don't know if that's true or not but it sounds like a plausible explanation.

you perhaps should save your mindreading for someone else. I did watch the tapes and, imho, the queen should fire the bandleader for starting to play while the president of the united states was still speaking. I understand that you disagree... you clearly feel that anyone should be able to interrupt Obama whenever they want.... he isn't YOUR president, anyway, is he? He's probably not even a real american and he's probably a muslim so why should anyone offer him any respect. I understand completely.

Did you happen to notice that NO ONE picked up their glass EXCEPT bambam?????????????????????????????? In fact if you look closely Camilla seems to look behind him to the Queen to see if she is going to even stand.

my statement had to do with the bandleader. I don't think he was a racist... I think he simply started the band playing too soon. Bandleaders who do that to world leaders need to get a new gig.
you clearly don't think there is anything wrong with interrupting the president, and I think that has more to do with your opinion of this president than the situation itself.

Obama began the toast by saying, “To the Queen,” which was the protocol cue to the orchestra to play, “God Save the Queen.” Instead of then waiting for them to finish playing the song, Obama just kept right on talking over “God Save the Queen,” and even got to the point of raising his glass for the toast – But no one moved, because they were waiting for the song to conclude in honor of the Queen! Obama then realized what he had done, put his glass down to wait for the end of the song, and then concluded the toast.
I actually feel sorry for him.

Members of the Royal Family neither participate in nor respond to the Loyal Toast, and the honour may be followed by a playing of "God Save the Queen"
You forgot this part:
the Loyal Toast is most commonly composed solely of the words "ladies and gentlemen, the Queen,"

I didn't forget it at all. the link clearly states that other words may follow and, upon COMPLETION of the toast, the band plays.
sorry.

It clearly states:
may be elaborated with mention of the monarch's position as head of a particular state
I didn't read anything in the article that suggested anything beyond that...if I missed it, please point it out.

if one wants to get "technical" about it, the toast to the queen is supposed to be the FIRST toast given, and, therefore, the queen herself screwed up by toasting POTUS first. I doubt anyone would make a big deal about that, however.... unlike Obama, she wasn't a muslim negro from kenya :lol:

So when faced with defeat on the merits of the argument you resort to accusations of racism...go figure.

No, if you want to get technical about it, President Botch did what he does best
He botched the toast
And you being proven worng do what most Obama drones do - you attack the person who is correct about Pres Bothc's screwup as a racist

merits?
the fact remains... the queen toasted when she should not have... the band started playing when it should not have... obama kept talking for a bit, then let the band play... as he should have...
but, with all the really important shit in the world, you Obama haters want to talk about a toast.
you SHOULD be worried about the fact that Obama's approval rating is still high and that he beats every potential contender in head to head polling... you SHOULD be worried about the fact that your "front runner" is a mormon who passed Obamacare in Massachusetts... you SHOULD be worried about middle east peace and the fallout from the arab spring and any number of REAL issues... but hey, let's keep talking about a toast. good plan. :lol:

Now you are changing the subject
You have been beaten and humilated
Most people are worried about the damage Obama has done to the country - some like you - could not care less because they are more worried about their political party more then their country

ROFL...you were soundly beaten on the merits of the argument, using facts from your own source, and now, after accusations of racism didn't really help your cause, you'd prefer to change the subject.

my own source clearly states that the music is played at the conclusion of the toast. my source clearly states that the toast is not mandated to be only a few words. my own source clearly states that the queen was out of order by toasting POTUS first.
but again... is this really something that needs to be discussed on into the midmorning? :lol:

MM can't help it, it's hard to think clearly with his head stuffed so far up bambam's ass.
It's funny that MM can't even admit that bambam screwed up. It isn't even a huge screw up IMHO, but to people like MM, bambam can do no wrong. I find that hilarious.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Trigg again.

MM not only drinks the Obama Kool Aide he bathes in it and would drink Pres Botch's bath water if given the chance
