Fitty-eight states and the year is 2008

First Obama couldn't remember how many states are in the United States "fifty-seven with one to go" and now he doesn't seem to know what year it is.

Yesterday, he signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey as follows:

It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.

Imagine if this were George bush doing this and how quickly it would have made the Nightly News as the lead story.

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.

It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.

It was really nice until he got the date wrong by three years. Granted, 2008 was a great year for him, and we might try to live it for as long as possible, too, if we were him. Also, though, he may have had a stroke.

Update: For those who find the European-style date suspicious, the Telegraph reports that a "Westminster Abbey spokeswoman confirmed it was the president who had written the wrong date."
