Obama's Crutch; Why Is He So Afraid of Speaking Without a Teleprompter?

Late night comedians have had a difficult problem. Presidents are usually the source of most late night joke, but comedians are having a hard time finding any material to make jokes about President Obama. This isn’t anything new, it was also true during the campaign.

Possibly they just need some help. Could you imagine if Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush had used a teleprompter to answer questions during a press conference? The late night joke writers wouldn’t have let it go until the President gave in to the merciless ridicule as he was painted as an idiot who couldn’t tie his shoes without being fed instructions on how to do it.

While people who watched Obama’s first national press conference noticed his use of a teleprompter to give his initial presentation as well as in answering questions, the media and late night joke writers completely ignored it. The American Spectator notes that in many events:

Apparently, Obama is looking to install a computer screen into the White House podiums so that, according to one Obama advisor, “It would make it easier for the comms guys to pass along information without being obvious about it.” [Emphasis added.] Obama’s aides would put together answers to a large number of possible questions so as soon as a reporter asks a particular question the computer screen could flash talking points to remind Obama how he’s supposed to respond to that question.

JFK was a weak president who caved into the commies. I have no idea why people adore the guy

I have no idea why people would adore him NOW. What I was saying is that I understood why people thought he was wonderful when he was elected to office. He seemed to me to put on a much better front than either Clinton or Obama. He had the aura of wealth and the war hero story and the touch football, swimming, sailing stuff and the beautiful, gorgeous wife and the smile and all that going on and he didn’t stumble and stutter at the podium, he was pretty good at giving a speech.

That was one of the closest races in history and many still say that Nixon won but it was stolen in Cooke county, Illinois, it seems Chicago was always crooked. In the same election match today Kennedy would probably win with seventy five percent of the vote, that is how much the voters have changed since then. Kennedy’s platform would be considered far right extremism now but Nixon’s would be just as far right or more so and the only thing that would matter would be who looked best on camera.

Well that certainly explains why Stevie Wonder performed Superstitious at White House.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, followed by... "very superstitious, the writing's on the wall" (at 3:36).

What is the mark of the beast, anyway?

Is it a teleprompter?

It is a teleprompter = הוא טלפרומפטר

= 666

Oy, more for the "You can't make this stuff up" file.
