President Teleprompter Thanks Himself

The nice thing about reading all your thoughts off a teleprompter is that you don't have to come up with those thoughts on your own. But there is a downside:

Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address in Washington when he realised it all sounded a bit too familiar.
It was. He was repeating the speech President Barack Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
Mr Cowen stopped, turned to the president and said: "That's your speech."
A laughing Mr Obama returned to the podium to take over but it seems the script had finally been switched and the US president ended up thanking himself for inviting everyone to the party.

Imagine the fun we could have if we wrested control of Obama's teleprompter away from George Soros.

I love how the article says "Obama is an accomplished orator but is ....."

Even when he's an idiot, they still have to say something nice about him..."accomplished orator..." shouldn't that be "accomplished reader of speeches"???

As Hot Air points out today, we sure did dodge a bullet by not electing Sarah Palin, didn't we? I mean, imagine how incompetent she would have been. I bet in her first two months in office she would have quadrupled the deficit, appointed corrupt and incompetent cronies to her cabinet, crashed the stock market, insulted our allies with her ineptitude, thrown lavish parties while Americans worried about the economy, picked a fight with a talk show host (and lost), and required a Teleprompter just to get through a simple nominating speech.

Man, we sure are lucky we didn't elect anyone THAT stupid.

Ron Burgundy would be proud of our President.

HA! What a moron. I can't wait until the video surfaces the net. Yeah Right. Maaaan! It would be a total hoot if I could be the one to mess with the telprompter. The things I would make him say.......

This guy is an idiot bush league punk. He's an embarrassment to any thinking American - granted, there are fewer and fewer of those anymore. I would love to have seen him try to function in the private sector with that sanctimonious attitude of his.

Don't blame Our Dear Leader. The teleprompter is clearly left over from the Bush Administration and has somehow been tampered with by Karl Rove as part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.

Or, it's Skynet having a little fun with The Immaculator.

Either way, we're doomed.

Teleprompter Operators Catch Heat for Playing Nintendo

President Obama lashed out at his team of teleprompter operators yesterday when he discovered that his speeches for the last three weeks had been interrupted by a bevy of 8-bit Nintendo games.

And the comments over at the cartoon Gregory linked to are about half and half support/non. "Well, at least he doesn't make up words like Dubya" is the gist.

Here would be the speech on the teleprompter if I had control of it.

Dear idiots,

You are too stupid to think for yourself so I have deemed it necessary to do away with elections. After all, you where so stupid and retarded that you elected me as your president. Thank you suckers.

End of speech.

How much you bet Obama the teleprompter reading moron would read it?

"yes its unbelievable more than half the country voted for this nitwit"
Technically speaking, that's not true. More than half of the people who voted in the 2008 elections voted for this nitwit. Don't forget that many Americans didn't vote at all.
As for hijacking the teleprompter, that would be awesome, we could definitely have some fun with that. I once saw a pretty funny photoshopped picture which depicted just that (The hijacked teleprompter was saying "Um, uh, well, um, uh, you see, um, uh...", like Obama does every time he doesn't have a teleprompter, and Obama initially follows the words appearing until he says, "Hey! That's not funny!").

Always love the nit-wit leftmedia's description of Obambi as "a great orator" -- no, you idiots, Cicero was a great orator, Reagan was a great (and intelligent and substantive) speech-maker, par excellence, and there are a very few others out there, but this Marxist non-entity cannot put three words together, sans teleprompter, without at least one "uh" or "ah" or "well . . .," and even has a few "you knows" thrown in for good measure.

Posted by: jc14 at March 18, 2009 5:49 PM

Yep, Obama is pretty much dumbing down the Presidency. Wouldn't think it could have got much worse after Carter.

I will be posting up something regarding another subject of the Teleprompter in Chief later on. It'll be great.

Obama is the result of affirmative action policies.

Now is a good time to watch "Bruce Almighty". When you get to the scene (the funniest scene in the movie) after Bruce has been endowed with the power of God and starts typing in the air to mess up Evan Baxter ("I like a do da cha-cha like a sissy girl"), pretend that Bruce is George W. Bush and Evan Baxter is Barack Obama at a press conference. Adds a whole new hilarious dimension.
