Obama's safety net: the TelePrompter By CAROL E. LEE | 3/5/09 3:22 PM The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he speaks.
President Barack Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his TelePrompter.
The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he speaks.
Resting on top of a tall, narrow pole, they flank his podium during speeches in the White House’s stately parlors. They stood next to him on the floor of a manufacturing plant in Indiana as he pitched his economic stimulus plan. They traveled to the Department of Transportation this week and were in the Capitol Rotunda last month when he paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln in six-minute prepared remarks.
Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small.
After the teleprompter malfunctioned a few times last summer and Obama delivered some less-than-soaring speeches, reports surfaced that he was training to wean himself off of the device while on vacation in Hawaii. But no such luck.
Nazareth: a month of intense scrutiny of her taxes, and has drawn criticism for her role in creating what some considered to be lax oversight of the banking industry. Another one bites the dust.
Gupta: common sense
Obama: what else is new?
Charles Rangel: has reservations about the tax hike proposal?? Obama IS in trouble.
A drunken man walks into a biker bar, sits down and orders a drink. Looking around, he sees three men sitting at a corner table.
He gets up, staggers to the table, leans over, looks the biggest, meanest, biker in the face and says:
'I went by your grandma's house today and I saw her in the hallway buck naked. Man, she is one fine looking woman!'
The biker looks at him and doesn't say a word. His buddies are confused, because he is one bad biker and would fight at the drop of a hat.
The drunk leans on the table again and says: 'I got it on with your grandma and she is good, the best I ever had!'
The biker's buddies are starting to get really mad but the biker still says nothing.
The drunk leans on the table one more time and says, 'I'll tell you something else, boy, your grandma liked it!'
At this point the biker stands up, takes the drunk by the shoulders looks him square in the eyes and says.................... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Obama lies? I'm shocked!
So he's not the great orator they claim he is. He just reads well. That, and being a neighborhood organizer qualifies him for the WH? What a country!

And on the lighter side...
Totally off topic...
