President Obama Apparently Thinks (Or Maybe Hopes?) It’s Still 2008
President Obama has a lot on his mind and maybe that’s his excuse for the mistake he made during his visit to the Westminster Abbey. During his extensive London tour of visiting Buckingham Palace with the Queen of England and meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron, Obama strangely signed the guestbook at the Westminster Abbey with the wrong date.
Anyone could get the day of the month wrong, but to get the year wrong? And by three years? Maybe Obama is just yearning for more cheerful times, maybe he was so captivated by the tour provided by The Very Reverend Dr John Hall, Dean of Westminster Abbey, or maybe someone may have slammed a Guinness or two more than they could handle? The text of what Obama wrote in the guestbook:
It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.
Barack Obama
