If you have to make an important speech at the White House, try and make sure you're not reading the same one the President Neil Kinnock gave a few minutes before you

FTFBiden.

Good day?

Wait, I did that last post wrong. It was supposed to be an Anchorman reference, but I referenced Paul Harvey instead.

Aw, screw it. Whatever.

I thought it was funny that the president thanked himself for inviting everyone.

oops...

Looks like St Patty's Day started good and early at the White House

"Obama's Teleprompter", good alt name.

Amateur hour!

In before teleprompter BS.

Nevermind.

Did morans even watch the debates?

From the article, "Mr Obama is becoming known as the 'teleprompter president' for his excessive use of the prompting screens..."

Ha-ha!

Obama would forget his own name if it wasn't on the teleprompter for him. Obama makes George Bush look like a MENSA all-star.

Too busy fapping to Palin, most likely.

Let them have their teleprompter jokes. It's the only thing they have, it seems.

More recently I've heard that it's Obama's fault that the AIG guys got bonuses.

The "debates" weren't really debates. Just questions that had pre-prepared answers which had been drilled into the participates' heads. No back and forth, no free thought allowed.

President Teleprompter strikes again!

I tried to submit this with a teleprompter joke.

gimpel: From the article, "Mr Obama is becoming known as the 'teleprompter president' for his excessive use of the prompting screens..." Ha-ha!

Came in here to say No, no he isn't.

I don't see Obama using a teleprompter any more than any other president has in recent years. This limp meme is just residue from Karl Rove's "criticize their strengths, not their weaknesses" strategy: "Oh, so Obama's a gifted orator, capable of speaking in connected sentences and using words properly, eh? Well, we'll just see about that, Teleprompter Man!"

No one's buying this one, either, Neocons. Toss it on the pile with Secret Muslim, Not Born in America, Communist, Socialist and all the other brilliant ideas cooked up by the Rush-Hannity Braintrust.

Certainly. How a president gives his speeches means nothing, what he does to the country does.

Of course there are, the problem is that when you are throwing so much garbage that isn't true along with a few turds that are true they get lost in the mess. When 9 out of 10 things are such BS, you just stop listening.

The boy who cried wolf at it's finest.

Ah, leave him alone. He's just like Lincoln:

You forgot Terrorist Sympathiser, America hater, Elitist and Gun grabber. Not a bad score though.

But the Irish PM got his DVDs right?

Obama would forget his own name if it wasn't on the teleprompter for him. Obama makes George...wait a minute...that's not my troll attempt.

Lt. Cheese Weasel: But the Irish PM got his DVDs right?

Actually he got a pen holder carved from some old ship. Re-gift FTW!

Is there really so little of substance about which to criticize Obama that the fail-tacular right-wing has to resort to this BS?

We come here to threads like these to balance out the epic clusterfark threads like AIG/TARP and the false Democrat outrage over bonuses they agreed to pay over a year ago. Levity is good for the soul.

I think the more salient point is that he bungled his first real foreign relations meeting so badly that the UK press, which had idolized him during the election, has now turned completely against him.

Again, ha-ha.

On a whim, I searched for ObamaPrompter, and got this:


/link is toasty warm.

Obama supporters seem to have no sense of humor. This was funny, just like when Bush tried to leave through a locked door. Not every comment about Obama is blasphmey, so stop acting like it.

Every time I see a Fark Independent make a crack about Obama and the telepromter I see Rush being once again cut down to size.

Cat Food Sandwiches:

Yeah Obama was so bad during the debates, McCain nearly had to suspend his campaign after the first debate so he wouldn't have do another. Troll on with your bad self.

Its like Obama playing chess and and Rushbots are playing chutes and ladders.

I'm not defending or criticizing anyone's performance. I'm just saying they weren't really "debates".

Cat Food Sandwiches: I'm not defending or criticizing anyone's performance. I'm just saying they weren't really "debates".

So the whole "Zero! Zero?" exchange was scripted? Sure seemed to surprise McCain.

This teleprompter thing is pretty stupid, the UK and Russia gaffes will blow over quickly if they haven't already, and the Ireland PM thing is just a finny little thing. Obama still hasn't tried to give a foreign leader a neckrub like W, or barfed on one like Poppy.

That said, soy_bomb's stupid photo gave me an idea that I find vastly amusing. Liberal or not, I'm still a giant nerd.

Yeah. Anybody have that video that puts debate statements next to each other. Surprise! McCain's and Obama's statements were the same each time. Sometimes word for word.

There's no tolerance for free thought. Every statement is taken as gospel and policy that the candidate will follow unerringly. Every misstep and mistake is fodder for hours of negative coverage and ammunition for opponents.

So no, you won't get the kind of back and forth you'd find in your pub on a Wednesday night.

Is there really so little of substance about which to criticize Obama that the fail-tacular right-wing has to resort to this BS?

And the response from Obama's supporters is "nucular".

Use of a teleprompter makes it look like someone behind the scenes is controlling every word he utters. It looked especially bad at the press conference; the questions were submitted ahead of time, he had the list of bloggers reporters to call on, and he still didn't know the answers?

Bored Horde: Web_Slinger: Obama would forget his own name if it wasn't on the teleprompter for him. Obama makes George Bush look like a MENSA all-star.

It's a regional pronunciation of the word. I pronounce it the same way. When you attempt to mock people for not talking the exact same way you do, you come off as naive. Probably should stop doing that.
