  I won't dwell on the political content but the 3 things I found amusing about his visit were
  
  
  1, The band accidentally started playing the national anthem over the end of President Obama's speech on Tuesday night.
  The slip-up occurred when orchestra of the 1st Battalion Scots Guard piped up with God Save The Queen from the ballroom balcony prematurely, assuming Mr Obama had finished speaking when he picked up his glass to toast the Queen.
  In fact, he was only beginning his rousing concluding remarks, in which he quoted Shakespeare.
  
  Clearly bemused, Mr Obama soldiered on as the band played.Sources said the band were normally given copies of both the Queen's speech and that of her guest of honour so they knew when to start playing.But the Americans had refused to hand over a copy of theirs so the band was forced to guess when to strike up
  
  2. During yesterdays address to both Houses, Ken Clarke, the Hush Puppy King. dozed off yet again . Ladbroke's had offered even money on him snoozing again during a major political event this year after he fell asleep during George Osborne's Budget Speech.
  
  3. A female lacky told the waiting Lords and Commoners that before the President spoke Mr Bercow would be making a 'short' speech. Much merriment followed.
