Faux pas?

1. The former Alaska governor and Tea Party leader fights hard to stay in the news. Her latest “faux pas”, her call to the White House to ask the president about Egypt. It is laughable.

I do not know if she has advisors to help her achieve her goals. Known for not being an expert in foreign affairs, she still has something to say about a country she certainly does not know.

When I think back and realize how close she was to becoming the vice president of the United States, it gives me chills. Sometimes it is good to be quiet rather than speak on subjects that you do not understand. As the Baoule of Ivory Coast say, “He who talks incessantly, talks nonsense. ”

- Palin needs to learn when to be quiet: He who talks incessantly, talks nonsense, February 9, 2011.

2. I could not believe my eyes when I saw Obama standing alone with his glass raised in a toast to the Queen during the Playing of God Save the Queen. It is the same as here in the USA when the national anthem is played you STOP what you are doing until the anthem ends, I kept saying OMG stop talking finally he put his glass down when he realized no-one was moving to lift their glass. When the music stopped the Queen was gracious enough to reach for her glass first and try to cover Obama’s latest protocol gaffe. When is this president going to realize he is making a fool of himself and the United States when he makes these protocol blunders. I have been waiting to see how the media handles these faux pas... and there is practical nothing about it.
