This is how President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.

So, President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today with a very nice inscription: “It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.” He then dated it: 24 May 2008.
It’s an amusing gaffe. We’ve all made it–although seldom missing by three years. Does it mean anything of significance? I doubt it.

YOU FOOLS! Clearly it’s a code for his Muslim Socialist Atheist Communist Kenyan … um, lessee, I know there’s one more…Alien? Elitist? Arugula Likers?…anyway, it’s a code for his allies to rise up, start the concentration camps, force everyone to eat broccoli and change their lightbulbs, and make everyone have gay abortions! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!
James was right.
Even unqualified poseurs have amusing gaffes now and then. This slip up in no way reflects on his lack of knowledge like it did when he referred to speaking “Austrian”.
Of course, if this was Sarah Palin, James, Doug and Steven would be running up and down the internet, buck naked with their hair on fire, proclaiming she was too stupid to know what year it was.
Doug,
You, James and Steven are the ones who, with every condescension-dripping article and comment infer that Obama is either more intelligent or qualified for presidency than Palin – all evidence to the contrary. You uncritically absorb the mischaracterizations and attitude of your sources at Media Matters, Think Progress and Kos then use your special talent of writing headlines not remotely connected to facts while in the guise of a libertarian in order to mislead readers.
The question is, what have you ever written about Palin that an intellectually honest reader would say was fair?
Doug, what policies has Palin espoused which you find so faulty. Surely her advocation of America utilizing its own energy by increasing exploration and drilling or government not spending money it does not have constitute policy you disagree with, or are you and Obamite? Obama lends money, remember we are borrowing over a trillion dollars a year, Brazil so they can drill for oil. Obama has the EPA curtail oil exploration and drilling through regulation designed to prevent the use of resources we have here. How come you talk down about a person who would correct these policies yet never a negative word about the actions of this amature administration.
Of course, if this was Sarah Palin, James, Doug and Steven would be running up and down the internet, buck naked with their hair on fire, proclaiming she was too stupid to know what year it was.
You mean like wingnuts are doing right now?
Anyway, looks like this thread is becoming a grievance fest for Palin dead-enders. Carry on.
JWest: “Doug, you’ve said things from SNL about Palin!”
Doug: “”
JW: “Um, look! A Pony!”
I suppose JW was referring to the “I can see Russia from my house!” line. And, granted, Palin never ever said that at all. She DID say that “They’re our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.” – which is both true and useless. I don’t remember Bush claiming that same qualification about Mexico.
You, James and Steven are the ones who, with every condescension-dripping article and comment infer that Obama is either more intelligent or qualified for presidency than Palin – all evidence to the contrary.
And yet, the only people who cite such “evidence” are Palin fanboys…curious, that…as mantis wrote, this thread, like so many others around here, rapidly turned into a Palin whinefest…poor poor Sarah…she’s just so misunderestimated…
trying to get rationality out of Mataconis where Palin is concerned is a waste of time-he is PDS inflicted (3 articles and a tweet in one week attacking her). Stoner makes a good point-if Mataconis ever recovers he might try to actually address a policy issue she presents e.g. energy and explain where she is wrong or “stupid” (although I feel confident she knows what year it is and doesn’t have to ask someone).
Are you guys still complaining that people confused the actual Palin quote “you can see Russia from parts of Alaska” with Tina Fey’s exaggeration “you can see Russia from my house”?
Remember that Sarah was using this line to prove she was a foreign policy expert, which actually made it about 10x more stupid than the fake quote.
Well, can you blame Obama for wanting to live in 2008. It was a good year. There were accolades and campaigning. Then it turns out that you should be careful what you run for because some jobs you have to show up for. The presidency isn’t a union job. You actually are expected to put in a days work in the Oval office.
