Is it customary in the US to make a toast to the Queen, then set your glass back down? :???: :?

Protocol, apparently, requires the toastmaster to wait until after “God Save the Queen” plays and then begin the toast. But the almighty O waits for no sovereign, so he launched straight into his shpiel. To which I say, good for him. What else was the American revolution about, if not the right of the president to half-ass some formulaic niceties about the British monarch? He should have punctuated it with a weary “whatever” and downed the glass in one gulp.

This is how President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.

The child’s citizenship was determined by the citizenship, allegiance, and duty of loyalty of the adult father. The adult father, biological and/or legal, was in this case Barack Hussein Obama I, who was a British citizen. Consequently, the child of Barack Hussein Obama I and Stanley Ann Dunham (Obama) was natural born with British citizenship no matter where in the world the child was born.
