Metaphor of the day: Barack Obama doesn't even know what year it is (Jetlag?)

Or, he’s hooked on a feelin’ that only 2008 can bring:

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.

Barack Obama

24 May 2008

One of these days, he is going to wake up in the White House, realize that he’s President of the United States, and totally freak out.

Update: Jetlag is to blame? Perhaps Obama has experienced another Teutonic shift.
