  • why did they start playing the music when he was clearly in the middle of his toast? It's not really his fault. It would have been extremely awkward for him to stop mid-sentence as well

  • Ahh shit... would hate to be him.

  • Who cares, he is Obama! He can talk when he wants. I am in no way an anti-royalist at all but I love Barack.

  • "To the Queen...  O_O"

  • Could see the queen thinking: "That was a wank speech mate".

  • Perhaps ..Queen has seen too many US presidents and cant hear the toast again and again so made them start the anthem early. Just google "queen and US presidents poster" to see how many US presidents she has met

  • @MarxRenaldo I think they thought that he was done when he said "to her majesty the Queen". lol

  • Don't worry Barack, no one saw a thing.

  • In his defense, the music cut him off first :p

  • @MsLiew1901 Not in America, or at least I've never seen it. In fact, if I didn't know this was a "total mishap" I would have thought they were playing the anthem in the background as like... a speech enhancer. Never heard of that stopping it crap. I get its a custom, but he obviously didn't know. Embarassing, but not that big a deal unless you make it one. The Queen didn't seem to bothered when she made sure to acknowledge his comments after the anthem.

  • What would the Founding Fathers say!!!. George Bush was another puppet president who was knighted by the Queen. Looks like Obama is just another puppet
