the White House is looking to install a small video or computer screen into the podium used by the president for press conferences and events in the White House. "It would make it easier for the comms guys to pass along information without being obvious about it," says the adviser.
The screen would indicate whom to call on, seat placement for journalists, pass along notes or points to hit, and so forth, says the adviser.
Using a screen is nothing new for Obama; almost nothing he said in supposedly unscripted townhall events during the presidential campaign was unscripted, down to many of the questions and the answers to those questions. Teleprompter screens at the events scrolled not only his opening remarks, but also statistics and information he could use to answer questions.
Obama had a teleprompter set up for his remarks last week, before taking questions, but the White House couldn't use the teleprompter for anything but the remarks, because the journalists were so close to the screens. Further complicating matters, teleprompter copy can't be easily updated in real time, in a setting like a White House press conference.

Remember when they accused GB of wearing a wireless device at a debate to have someone feed him info? It caused a bump in his suit.
Attention, zombies ahead! LOL That should do it.
LOL! He’s got to be fed his lines even to answer questions from the press. What a loser!!
Maybe the information sent to his teleprompter will come from his “old Chicago friends” who communicate with him via Blackberry. Remember the leftist paranoia about whether President Bush was wired in his debate with John Kerry? I guess that was...different, somehow.
So ....ummmm ...... who is really President?
"Romanabot"
What about someone to change his diapers, and wipe the drool from his chin?
Who is typing in messages for Barry? This stuff is getting scary....more proof Barry is a puppet
Didn’t the Rat media accuse Bush of wearing a hidden device to feed him answers during the 2004 debates?
How is this different?
Someones should send this to Drudge or Rush or Hannity or Savage or O’Reilly...
Not ready for prime time. This is the kind of joker leading us down with his house of cards.
Had Bush done the same the lamestream media would have been ranting about his being incompetent and needing a “cheat sheet”...

Bambi: ah...ah...thats all for today, nice seeing you all
He won't need a cheat screen then because he's of the same mindset as they are.
I think that movie is a bit amusing at spots. But I can't help but think, really, how smart can a group of people be if they don't realize the need to make babies to carry forward.
