Let’s see what Emily Post has to say about toasting with little paper cocktail napkins stuck to the glass … especially at state dinners:

U.S. President Barack Obama and India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh make a toast during a State Dinner on the South Lawn of the White House, November 24, 2009.
Did we have the good plastic sporks on the table, too? I hope they didn’t forget the Chex Mix and the Cheez Whiz. (via SondraK)

Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at [email protected] with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I’ll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I’ll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.
