Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen reads word for word a speech that Obama had just read from a teleprompter, while the president apparently thanked himself for the invitation.
WASHINGTON -- Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address at a St. Patrick's Day celebration at the White House when he realized something sounded way too familiar. Turns out, he was repeating the speech President Barack Obama had just given.
Cowen was set to speak twice at the White House on Tuesday night because there were two different parties going on at the executive mansion. No matter -- he would give the same speech to the two different audiences.
But Cowen was 20 seconds into his second address when it dawned on him that he was giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
Cowen stopped and looked back at the president to say, "That's your speech."

Obama laughed and returned to the podium to offer what might have been Cowen’s remarks. In doing so, President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over.
First...Gordon Brown.
Now...this.
Sheesh! What an embarrassment!
These guys aren’t ready for prime time!
Ping me if you get the video. lol
BTW, in Obama’s speech Tuesday morning, he lost his place.
+1 TelePrompTer. lol
Wasn’t Bush the tongue twisting bumbler, and Obama the eloquent statesmen? Come on, well, maybe after 4 yrs he’ll have all that on the job training down pat. Hope nobody nukes us in the meanwhile.
All right, ping your list and use the rubber hose to find out which one of them hacked Obama's TelePrompTer!
our government is a bad comedy...
didn’t a Marx brother make a movie about this?
leave to Obama to offer subterfuge via teleprompter. What an idiot he and his ilks are.
LOL - what a sorry clown.
ROTFLOLOL!
You got it! ;o)
huh? I don’t get it. This guy is not presidential material in the least or even in the most.
LOL.
Well, if anything as horrific like that does happen, let us hope our fearless leader's staff has someone competent manning the teleprompter. Delivery of a speech for the ages, meant to bring us all together as a nation... I have to wonder whether it would be good or bad if he bollixed up in a situation like that.
“In doing so, President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over.”
What an ass clown. This will be a four year freak show.
Putin is probably thinking, “Damn! ‘Bout time our Manchurian got in! I just hope we have enough muscle left to take advantage of them.”
