Obama the Puppet? Obama's Crutch: the TelePrompter

Politico: Obama Doesn't Go Anywhere Without His Teleprompter...

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...

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...

Just how much of a crutch the teleprompter has become for Obama was on sharp display during his latest commerce secretary announcement. The president spoke from a teleprompter in the ornate Indian Treaty Room for a few minutes. Then Gov. Gary Locke stepped to the podium and pulled out a piece of paper for reference.

The president’s teleprompter also elicited some uncomfortable laughter after he announced Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as his choice for Health and Human Services secretary. “Kathy,” Obama said, turning the podium over to Sebelius, who waited at the microphone for an awkward few seconds while the teleprompters were lowered to the floor and the television cameras rolled.

Obama has relied on a teleprompter through even the shortest announcements and when repeating the same lines on his economic stimulus plan that he's been saying for months — whereas past presidents have mostly worked off of notes on the podium except during major speeches, such as the State of the Union.

Here's what I think. Obama is a puppet. Someone pulled the strings to get him from zero to hero in four years, and someone is pulling the strings now. The man doesn't have an original thought in his head, instead he relies on FDR, Carter, Emanuel, Farrakhan, Wright, etc. If he didn't have his teleprompter he would have no idea what they wanted him to say... er, what he was supposed to say.

Not so hot without your teleprompter

The other end of the teleprompter is connected to
Mr. Imanuel’s keyboard.

No question that Obama is a puppet. He has been bought and paid for by Soros and other wealthy socialist hypocrites. He is doing their bidding by destroying America.

Considering Obama’s desire to have US soldiers
identify and embrace “ moderate “ Taliban
in Afghanistan-

Shouldn’t his crutch now be called his
Tali-Prompter ?

I can’t wait for the day someone with a video camera catches the teleprompter displaying the answer to a question someone asks him.
