So much for the "great speaker" lie....

You keep telling yourself that, big shooter.

I have a feeling all his shots are premature.

Oh, I get it...because obama is the first person in the history of ever to use a teleprompter.

/and socialism I guess.

I like how the GOP has completely forgotten the time he addressed a GOP party meeting on open topics and beat them so badly the GOP refused to allow any video of it out and refused to even mention what was talked about there.

LordZorch: So much for the "great speaker" lie....

Yeah, just like that lie about Ronald Reagan being "The Great Communicator". Reagan always used dual teleprompters for his speeches, because, obviously, he didn't know how to give a speech.

5 = # of posts that it takes to say Obama is awesome because he talked to the idiot republicans without a teleprompter.

/completely ignores that he is a moron that doesn't understand the difference between corps and corpse when reading the totus.

Not only is he stupid enough to read another guy's speech (I'd like to thank President Obama), but when he does get off TOTUS, he really buggers it up.

He buggers it up one time in three years over hundreds of speeches and he's a blithering idiot? That's an interesting theory. Completely retarded, but interesting.

Dude's given a ton of interviews on a variety of topics with live questioners, and spanked an entire room of House Republicans. (new window) Anyone who doesn't see and understand his communicational competency isn't going to win an election against him.

I do think this last part is wishful thinking--CSPAN has rebroadcasted that before. But the White House obviously thought it got the best of the exchange because they planned to post the Q&A on their own site. (new window)

This is funny (new window).

I gave it 1/4 of the way through. Still not funny.

Go get laid or something. Damn.

I don't find that unfunny things become funny after sex. Funnier things can be funnier, but sex won't make 2 1/2 Men funny.

Keep telling yourself that he is a great speaker.

Listen to him stutter (ah's, um's) when he talks. 1 year in Toastmasters would have fixed that.

psst: Ahs and ums aren't a sign that you are thinking of an intellectual answer.

The only person more stupid than Obama is Biden. How stupid does Biden have to be to make Obama look better?

GraphicAddiction: This is funny (new window).

I guess since teleprompters are just electronic scrolling notecards, it doesn't seem funny to me. So your prepared notecards or speech notes "save your ass" or start talking to you? Uh, ok...how is anthropomorphic projection of technology funny? Is it funny if your phone talks to you? Or your scale? Or your margarita blender? What is supposed to be funny about it?

Reagan envy.

EnviroDude: psst: Ahs and ums aren't a sign that you are thinking of an intellectual answer.

You must have completely pulled that out of your ass because that isn't true at all. Decades of research, especially since the advent of computers that digitize speech. Verbal signals like "ah" and "uh" and "um" are perfectly natural and convey a great deal (new window) of cognitive information and context, dumbass.

Somacandra: digitize speech [have shown that] Verbal signals..

I mean.

Where is this research that indicates verbal pauses are a sign of stupidity? I'd like to see it.

asking a troll to provide proof of his baseless statements? Where you Sisyphus in a previous life?

I've never understood this line of attack. Is the use of a teleprompter somehow unprecedented?

I put it down to right wing fark-wittery, or being easily led by righty blogs, or just random dumbass commenting or trolling. All worthy additions to my permanent ignore filter on fark. Nice to see it got many of the leading idiots already though. Quit quoting them, people, that doesn't always get ignored. Do what I do, see a dumbass like these teleprompter people, and permanently ignore them. Let their blitherings go uncommented. Its really worse than trying to debate them.

lol, i love that some still actually believe that Obama used teleprompters to speak to children, even after that got debunked (new window).

Some of my favorite times hearing him speak were without the prompter and without his notes... I wish he would go off the page a bit more, he seems to be much more genuine when he does and less of a political tool.
