Yahoo.com shows Obama reading from a teleprompter...I'm stunned!
Yahoo.com ^ | 080911 | Artemis Webb

During the 2008 election cycle Yahoo! was a huge supporter of the Obama candidacy. Since he took office little has changed. The mantra has been:

Obama = wonderful, wise, brilliant
Conservatives = racist, stupid, greedy

One thing that was a constant was that Obama was never shown reading from a teleprompter. If Yahoo! showed that, it might interfere with the image that words of wisdom simply flowed extemporaneously from his lips like water from a mountain spring.

Well I'm not under the delusion that Yahoo! is suddenly becoming anything other than a leftist site, but still our take our little victories where I can find them...

I’d pay big bucks for just a minute or two control of that teleprompter. I’d have him resigning and he’d read it, too.

Libtards are pathetic in their self demeaning competition of praise, flattery, and adulation for Hussein and their servility to statism.

I had to LOL yesterday when my wife went to watch One Life To Live that she had recorded and fast forwarded through Obamah speech to watch what was left of her soap opera.

Obamah's head went left, right, left right so many times and in fast motion, it was hilarious.

When he came to the rose garden to comment on the debt deal, I changed channels from Fox to C-Span and by golly there were two huge prompters. This wasn’t shown on the other nets but the C-Span cameras panned the crowd from the side to the back and there they were.

You are supposed to post a link that leads directly to the article not the home page.

I’m glad you got the screen cap, because the picture isn’t on Yahoo now. Someone stepped in and pulled the plug.

Great teleprompter hijack in the 1982 movie “The Seduction.”

Starts at about 7:30:

"You are supposed to post a link that leads directly to the article not the home page."

The point of this thread was Yahoo! had a photo of Obama prominently using a teleprompter. That was the singular point. Had I linked to the article the link itself would be pointless.

If I was writing a vanity about the appearance of the FRONT PAGE of the New York Times I wouldn't post a link to page 7.

I'll tell you what though. If you want to find the article and post a link you can knock yourself out.

So you posted a vanity with a link that doesn’t show the picture. Congrats.

No I posted the picture in the article.

Look, here’s the situation, you’re making an ass out of yourself and rather than ducking your head and moving along you’ve decided to put on a brave face and argue for the sake of arguing. I know it’s not going to work to ask you to quit showing yourself to be an idiot so I guess you’ll just have to deal with this thread existing as is for the rest of your life.
