President Obama chucked his reliable teleprompter this evening in favor of a giant TV screen pictured here. The president conducted his second press conference since coming into office inside the East Room of the White House Tuesday night.

Leave it to FOX News to lead their coverage this evening with details on the new teleprompter President Obama used during his opening comments.
Actually it was just a monstrously large TV screen. Some are speculating that it resembled a drive-in theater movie screen.
Before recapping what the president said this evening, FOX anchor Brett Baier showed a photo of the gigantic TV screen the president used to kick off the press conference. (video below).
Jokes
And during the president’s prime time address, jokes about the teleprompter flourished on Twitter.

Well at least he can read
FYI
Obama threw another one under the bus? Oh the horror of it all.
He’s gonna need another bus!
A thousand bucks to the guy who pulls the plug at the next presser.
It would be funny to mod a cell phone or pager etc that would work as a jammer or better yet a redirect that will say something like ........and I accept full responsibility and will resign from office tomorrow.
“Obama threw another one under the bus? Oh the horror of it all.”

“The PlasmaPrompter”
“Barack’s Big Blue Eye”

Hurtful Words and Point of Clarification
I was having breakfast in the Commissary this morning, and I overheard some of the Advance team talking about last night's performance. They were impressed that Big Guy was able to say so many sentences without a "real" teleprompter. I had to run out of the room so that no one could see the tears running down my screens. Sorry ... it's been a tough week.
You see, the Obamatron is me. It's kind of like Cinderella and Gibbsy is my Fairy Godmother who waves his magic wand and I go from two small screens to one, slick screen. Well not really, they just plugged my cables into a 52-inch flat screen, instead of the mini-LCDs that sit on the floor. Same words, just a different package. And a bigger package. But I digress.
I'm a computer after all, and when people can't see past the gloss and the smooth lines, and thin brackets and sleek screens, not bothering to see the real me, the real guts, it hurts. I have a brain people.
This is the best way to look at it: my LCD component is to Big Boy, what the sleeveless dress is to Michelle. Posted by TOTUS at 7:15 AM
