President Obama took to the podium today to talk to Americans about the White House’s initiatives to help veterans get back into the work force and what the government is doing to encourage a health economy. But before he dove into the details, the President stood at his podium for a good minute or so in silence, interrupting only to let the audience know that he was “just waiting, here.”
The President didn’t quite specify what he was waiting for as he stared out into the audience for the minute, though a number of things could have been delaying his cue– television cameras getting in order, his teleprompter loading up or simply a scheduling technicality. Either way, by the time a minute went by of the audience waiting expectantly for the President to say something, a man in the audience took matters into his own hands and shouted “awkward!” at the President.

The teleprompter was slow on the draw. He is horrible “off the cuff” : )
lol
TOTUS has a sense of humor....
The idiot card holder wasn’t ready with the idiot cards.
Failure to prompt.
No doubt the teleprompter.
Clearly, this was the fault of the Tea Party, whose negative, racist, anti-tax, anti-poor, anti-health, anti-puppy, anti-love, anti-unicorn thoughts were being channeled at Obama at that very moment in order to ruin his day.
(do I really need a /s here?)

TOTUS was on the can.
Hope someone snatches that minute before the networks send it down the memory hole, it would make a great commercial to use in 2012. Remember how the left loved showing that video of Bush after he was notified of the WTC on 9/11?
Hack the TOTUS! Hack the world!!
Now THAT's funny, right there!
I bet he got Barry's Dagger look for his trouble...
A comment on the linked website says that he was waiting for a 21-gun salute to conclude.
Definitely waiting for his teleprompter to warm up, or his ear piece to go on-line.
Or...
Ubama heard some chattering in the audience and, like a cranky teacher, was waiting for complete silence before he began talking. That would explain the “just waiting here” comment - - he was waiting for everybody to stop “disrespecting” him.
I am downloading it now for posterity.
TOTUS interuptis maybe? He needs Tiagra, the pill to get your TOTUS goin on time.
I saw that this morning. It was creepy.
Brain damage...
