“May 24, 2008:” Did Obama drink too much Guinness beer?
Twitter is lighting up over President Obama’s bizarre guest-book autograph — seen in a photo taken by Getty Images/AFP — which he dated “May 24, 2008.”
Too much of that Guinness beer, I guess.
Or a teleprompter glitch?
Or maybe he was going for one of those ASCII-style emoticons?
Leave your best theory.

Commenter Rogue Cheddar: “Actually the 2008 looks like nooB to me.”

More from the Daily Telegraph:
But the president seemed to have made a gaffe during the occasion – signing Westminster Abbey’s distinguished visitors’ book with the wrong year.
Mr Obama dated his entry in the book May 24 2008, rather than the current year.
Apparently Mr Obama was heard to ask the dean what the day’s date was – but managed to get the year wrong.
A Westminster Abbey spokeswoman confirmed it was the president who had written the wrong date.

Ooh, ooh, I’ve got a caption for that: “This beer tastes as bitter as Michelle-my-belle. Did I just say that out loud!?”
Kentroyals5 # 78 I think I will pass on the club. As you will notice, I corrected the spelling in #75. Just wasn’t fast enough…. I also have no problem with spelling errors, but it was a bad time to type one while lambasting the “ONE”. lol
Barry has such a massive web of lies and deception in his mind, no wonder he doesn’t know what year it is.
Any bets on what day Barry totally cracks in public?
Warm beers are served in British Pubs. They are served in pint (20 fliud ozs) sized glass tankards. It is customary a drink after work every day. Andy Capps cartoons shows them everyday life of British middle class acts.
The photo in the Pub is priceless—Moochelle–you ate my damn Tamale!!!!
Has he had a stroke? Maybe someone should ask him who the president is.
+1
I said I’d behave.
it’s me biatch!
this makes me feel more confident that TehLoser signed and DATED the entry:
no way–not me!
Obama: “Westminster Abbey? Wow! I love all those Beatles albums they recorded here.”

Do you mean like total nervous breakdown and has to be escorted from the stage or..? Another sign his partying is getting the best of him; the piled up chores.
Hasn’t -begun- to address the Economy other than a few boodle bandages and givement jobs. Border violence out of control. Gas heading to $5, no budget BUT: ( still thinks he has everything “under control” )
Classic round the bend alkie thinking.
I couldn’t find the Obama pub photo online in my newspaper (I get the newspaper delivered) but here it is on the Washington Post website. The looks are both their faces are priceless.

Any of the above.
I think he may be feeling the walls closing in a bit.
I posted this on the open thread…

He had to ask the frakkin’ DATE?!
Is it too much to ask that we expect our President to know what damn day it is?
Maybe he thought England was on the other side of the dateline. Next to Guam.
Barry: Yessiree, I’ve always been a big Beatles fan, those 5 guys are great!
“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.”
Well, that’s just par for the course, in’t it, lolz.
Words of Shakespeare…blessed plot?? Roight, then… oi.
“I remember seeing them on stage in Jakarta.”
OK, I’m not a Cain supporter, but this from a poster at The Blaze was funny:
Herman Cain 2012… at least he knows what year it is! ™
Screwed up toasting the Queen in her palace? What an oaf. #112 Notice that the queen is quick to “instruct him” by reaching quickly for her glass, he copied her. She = gracious. He = OAF!
My theory is that everyone mis-speaks sometimes. Lord knows I do.
perhaps thinking ahead to 24 July 2008 at the Brandenburg Gate???
you can take him back now…really
We all do, but we don’t do it on CNN.
The only reason I don’t is because I’m not on CNN.
Yea, we’d hang out afterwards. George was into yoga, Ringo was always going on about big government messing things up. Me and John were into ah…ehh say, what’s today’s date?
May 24, 2008. Mmnnff. Wow, that was the strangest dream. I dreamed that a guy by the name of Barry Soetoro had won the presidency in the 2008 general election. All kinds of bad things happened. Whew, what relief that it was just a nightmare and nothing more.
What!?? It is actually 2011 and that guy really is the president? We are doomed!!
Someone, quick, tell him it is January 22, 2013 and he is no longer president.

Good thing because I make my share and then some of typos and spelling errors.
Barry wants us all to think that it’s 2008, so he can still blame everything on Booooosh.
And so far,what a trip it’s been!
For those keeping score : The Presidential Limo bottomed out in Ireland, Barky dated his signature at Westminster Abbey May ,24 2008, and he botched the toast to the Queen at the State dinner.

Actually, that is a trick question.
Who is the putative president would be a better question.

Heh. Now that’s good!
Unless Guam has tipped over. Then you divide by three.
Probably what his Blackberry was for.
Someone forgot to charge it for him.
He even has his pinky slightly extended. It must have been brutal for him to try keep it on the glass.
What makes you think he has accepted any so far?
I mean, other than when he went commando.
So mommy told you to whip something else finally?
…at least the black ones.
Redpill???
Part of his reelection strategy – if it’s only 2008, then he can blame the last two-and-a-half years on Bush!
And why is an American president writing the date like a European? Did he forget which country he’s from too?
In the immortal words of Chrissie Matthews, O is “profoundly” genius.
It is hard to keep pretending you are the most competent person in the world, when the exact opposite is true. Things like this (signing a guestbook where others can see what you’ve written) make it all too apparent. I guess he should have just left a smiley-face instead of something that required remembering it, but even then, it might have turned out to have “angry eyebrows” and horns coming out of each side of its head. There probably isn’t ANY limit to the confusion that occurs inside of poor Barry’s skull.
Chris Matthews wants to know how you know Obowmao wasn’t wearing any underwear.
Forget the year (like Barry did) – why sign the date in that order? My only guess is that Barry was trying to show how sophisticated (European) he can be.
Hahahahahaha!
Dude, I have no idea what that is. It’s probably me. I could never see those hidden “magic eye” pictures either.
it’s a face palm
Stacey, I don’t know either and I usually can figure those out.
thanks spacey, I see it now.
Too much Guiness would have put him into competition with Ted Kennedy…but BO is SAFE…The Beast would have bottomed out and stuck before plunging into the water at Chapaquiddac….and he had Mochell with him…and she FLOATS.
I LOL’d big time at the Picard facepalm.
Nice one FITR!

IMAGINE if Joe Biden had been with him!!! Would have been three stooges, Manlymo, Joe, and Bo.
Well, he has been in campaign mode throughout his presidency, and 2008 was a great year for him.
Are we sure this wasn’t “heavily edited?” /sarc
His mind is trapped in a time when he could feign likability and intellect
Looks like the year was originally written as 2002 or 2007 and he changed it to 2008. Just practicing his birth certificate alteration and forgery work.
Obama is such a liar, and so clueless about his heredity, he could say he is a direct descendant of Spiderman, and the CMA (Communist Media of America) would not only run with the lie, they’d come up with more relatives to prove his story.
I haven’t gone through all of the comments yet but this might be the thread winner.
Will someone who actually watches Jon Stewart or Colbert please link to it or let me know when they make fun of Obama for this.
I know that they will, of course, because they are comedians!!!!
Yes sir, I do look forward to seeing it, and laughing along with those non-partisan jokesters!
I can’t bash Obama for having a beer. Frankly, if he’d drink a little more it would improve his policies.
