As Record US Tornadoes Destroy More Lives, POTUS Plays Ping Pong in UK, Sips Expensive Wine, Messes Up Toast to Queen, & Writes Wrong Year in Westminster Abbey Guest Book (video)

Chug, chug, chug, chug... Barack Obama downing a pint of stout in Ireland yesterday
What a tragic week it’s been as record tornadoes rip up and destroy thousands of Americans’ lives across the Midwest.
Our POTUS is living it up in the United Kingdom this week, possibly relieved he’s not in tornado-devastated Missouri about now, where an estimated 1,500 people are missing and the death toll has risen in Joplin.
Or relieved he’s not in Oklahoma.
Or in Kentucky.
Yesterday, Pres. Obama (Code Name “Smart Alec”) was drinking a pint of Guinness stout while joking in an Irish pub. Today, he’s having a blast playing ping pong and joking in England. And, I must add, signing the Westminster Abbey guest book with 2008 as the year… which makes one wonder how many additional stouts he had when no one was looking and the cameras had stopped rolling.
POTUS doesn’t seem to be in the least bit worried about all us folks back home (despite the spin and faked photos from his PR team). Not while he’s sipping $1,000-a-bottle wine at Buckingham Palace and clowning around with Prime Minister David Cameron.
From MRC TV, As Tornadoes Devastate Joplin, Obama Plays Ping Pong with British PM David Cameron:
As tornadoes rip across parts of the US, President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron joked and high-fived while playing ping pong against a couple of students at a London school Tuesday.
Contrast that with this…
Good Morning America: Joplin, Missouri Tornado Video: Storm Chasers Capture Storm’s Fury (05.23.11)
From The Guardian:
Tornado-Damaged Missouri Braces for Second Storm, Obama Arrives in London, read Tuesday’s headline on pbs.org, summing up the general attitude of the American media to the presidential tour of Britain: yes, he’s there, but so what? At most, it’s a secondary story, certainly compared to the tornadoes in the midwest and the reverberations still felt from the president’s statements about the Middle East last week.
Below is the signed entry Pres. Obama made in the Westminster Abbey guest book, a historical document… he wrote the WRONG YEAR, for crikey’s sake.
What if Bush had written the wrong year, or Sarah Palin (remember her palm crib notes and the freakin’ hey-day the liberal media goons had with that), or any other non-Democrat? The mainstream media would be shrieking and mocking, Joy Behar and Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow and all the other Soros sheeple would be ranting, calling them stupid for writing the wrong date — not being ghostly, hypocritically silent, listening to the crickets chirp, as they are now.
As they are now… choosing to ignore that Captain Clueless Barack Obama royally screwed up the date in a British royal guest book.
One brave publication has come forward — New York Magazine’s Daily Intel isn’t being quiet about Obama’s stupid blunder:
It was really nice until he got the date wrong by three years. Granted, 2008 was a great year for him, and we might try to live it for as long as possible, too, if we were him. Also, though, he may have had a stroke.
Click the image to enlarge it — it’s even funnier when it’s bigger. (Jesse Lee, are you taking notes?).
And POTUS made another blunder, an awkward mess of toasting the Queen, which was described as “kinda weird” by ABC’s Jake Tapper — Tapper compared Obama’s awkward toast to it being similar to the Academy Awards presentation 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.” Here’s the video of him speaking through the anthem “God Save the Queen” — you won’t ever see this on MSNBC:
Pres. Obama’s Weird Toast to Queen at Buckingham Palace | March 24, 2011
Quip from Doug Powers @ Michelle Malkin, When Toasts to the Queen Go Bad:
I’m starting to wish President Obama hadn’t been excluded from the invitation list for William and Kate’s wedding now — who knows what fun we missed out on.
Only last week, Obama was throwing Israel and millions of Jews under the metaphorical bus. To quote Gene Simmons of Kiss on Obama’s audacious speech on Israel-Palestinian relations and borders, Simmons accurately stated that the president “has no f**king idea what the world is like.”
And apparently, no idea what year it is.
Or how to properly toast the Queen.
Or much about the escalating devastation and rising death toll from record-breaking, catastrophic tornadoes in his own country.
And, in conclusion, November 6, 2012 is now one day closer.
