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.

We seriously need a cartoon with soros, marx and lennin furiously typing on multiple computers feeding into the teleprompter...

A world that can’t speak unless the teleprompter tells them what to say. Is it man, spirit, or machine controlling the teleprompter?

Instead of a presidential “Commander in Chief”, American now has a “Teleprompter in Chief”.

Yep, had to happen sooner rather than later. IF this were NOT so twisted and mindless it would be hilarious. BUT these people are way out on a limb.

Wonder what the Irish GOT in return for letting Bama’s handlers write his speech??????

LOL! Sort of an "allow me to introduce myself... to myself" moment. What a guy. I can't wait for Zero's triumphant return to Berlin so he can deliver his stirring words, "Ich bin ein Teleprompter!"

And yes, that picture is another damned fine example of Hussein-O's patented Portraits of Humility™. Mussolini has done been kicked off the pedestal and replaced.

It appears to be direct control of our world leaders for behind the curtain.
