President Obama thanks President Obama in teleprompter screw-up

“The president embarrassed America and showed the world just how stupid he really is last night.”

That’s how the media would have reported last night’s White House screw-up if President Bush were still in office. But we doubt that President Obama will receive the same harsh treatment.

Here’s what happened:

Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was giving a speech when he realized he was repeating the same words President Obama had just read from the same teleprompter. Cowen stopped, turned to the president and said, “That’s your speech.”

Obama laughed. Oh, how he laughed. It was the laugh of a man who was thinking, “Damn, I’m glad that wasn’t me.”

If anyone has a link to a video of the actual screwup, please let me know so I can change out the video in the article.

There must be some techies who don’t like Obama. That could be disastrous for a teleprompter addicted president.

Rush Limbaugh is now referring to BHO as The Teleprompter. Everything BHO says is described as “BHO’s teleprompter told him to say...” if Bush was doing this we’d never hear the end of it. The MSM can’t keep mindlessly covering up for this guy because he doesn’t have Bill Clinton suave and glib verbosity. BHO is a teleprompter. The ultimate manchurian candidate.

What a joke! The guy can’t do anything without that stupid teleprompter!!
He’s a reader in chief. Good grief, we may as well all just read the message ourselves!!

Do we have a count going on teleprompter screw ups by this administration? We cant blame it all on O-Blam-O. He isnt the one running the teleprompter.

You would figure they would heavily vett someone for that position, with its potential to make him look like an ASS where ever he goes!(?)!

It is becoming more clear that Obama does not have any original thoughts!

Actually, maybe he could just hook the teleprompter up to a computer for voice generation. That way he could spend more time at the gym.

At some point during his 4 years in office, Obama will have a "Ron Burgundy moment" when somebody hacks into his teleprompter program.

So, how can there be no video captured of this yet? It’s been many hours. Did the Obama Police squash it?

Anyone find one send me the link right away please.

I am reminded of Spongebob Squarepants character Plankton’s computer wife, Karen, which is basically just a teleprompter that rolls around on wheels. I wonder if Michelle knows Obama has a little cute on the side, one with augmented RAM.

We need to develope a mini interference device which sends an overriding signal to Zero’s teleprompter.

In the middle of a speach, let him start quoting Marx verbatim. Then immediately counter with some of Reagans best lines.

Inject some Freedioms (beeber stuned, etc..) just for some laughs.

Or maybe even an old Steve Martin line “I was born a....”
