If Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, or George W. Bush had so flubbed royal protocol
that the Queen of England politely ignored them, every major network would
have played the clip on continuous loop and the late night comedians would
belittle the rustic rubes for days.

Did you know Barack Obama did this very thing during his state dinner with
Queen Elizabeth II, sovereign of Great Britain - that The One screwed up his
toast to QE2? Thought not.

Obama weakly read a toast from notes sitting on his table. (Perhaps his
TelePrompter could not clear customs?) As he wound up, he raised his glass -
as the band began to play the royal anthem, "God Save the Queen." (Older
Americans and homeschoolers will know the tune as "My Country 'Tis of
Thee.") No one is to toast during that time but instead to stand in respect.

does not do this for our national anthem, so he raised his glass - as the
entire hall stood with their hands at their sides, waiting for the song to
end. Then the Queen politely toasted back.
