Here is an astonishing mistake by President Obama – he today signed the Westminster Abbey guest-book using the wrong year.

This is much more embarrassing than ex-President Clinton getting his Balkan Ms in a twist earlier this week.

Thank goodness these fine leaders are not G W Bush, otherwise we’d all be thinking they were clueless dimbos.

Perhaps President Obama’s mind was far away from the signing ceremony, trying to work out where the eleventh studied insult to the UK might be found? For me No 8 was just beyond belief – an example of the jejune lack of class and basic good manners in Obama’s core team.
