Obama doesn't even know what year it is -- signs it as 2008



This is not a free speech issue but since nobody else seems to be mentioning it, I thought I should. It would be on the front page of every newspaper coast to coast if a prominent Republican had shown this degree of disconnection from reality. Dan Quayle just had to add an extra "e" on to the spelling of "potato" for it never to have been forgotten by the media
"Everyone wishes they could turn back the clock sometimes, and it turns out Barack Obama is no different. He got the date wrong by three years when he signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey today on his official visit to the UK - despite apparently asking the dean what day it was.

Following a tradition set by former presidents Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, he laid a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, before going into the nave to sign a heartfelt message in the Distinguished Visitors' Book."

Now if this had been McCain the media sharks would be on a feeding frenzie like they did with Dan Quayle mispelling POTATO and CHENEYS hunting accedent

Perhaps his mind is stuck on '08, because, as history will show, that's when he was able to con tens-of-millions of brain-dead American voters, something he's hoping to do again in 2012.

You may not be able to fool all the people all the time, but the Marxist-in-Chief proved, with the help of the MSM, that you can certainly fool most of the people all the time. And, he's still doing it.

An unnecessary comma to boot! Although, I would be plenty tired if I was president. Never mind going to the other side of the globe, too.

Oh, come on. Give the guy a break. It's how all Kenyan-born youths are taught to write.

I wonder if the Westminster Abbey authorities will put some correction to it to avoid confusion, or just add "[sic]".

It looks like the '8' has been written over something else that look a bit like a '7' - ??
