Obama gets ahead of prompter (TOTUS gets an attitude again)
Politico ^ | 4/27/09 | ALEXANDER BURNS

President Obama’s speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning hit a brief snag when Obama got ahead of his script.

Laying his plan for a President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks – before realizing he’d already introduced them, earlier in his speech.

“In addition to John – sorry, the – I just noticed I jumped the gun here,” Obama said, pausing for several seconds as he looked at the prompter. “Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys.”

The audience, which gave the president a warm reception, responded with a quiet laugh.

And this guy has "a gift"?.

Maybe he should learn to speak from note cards.

That “L” on his forehead is more obvious than the “666”.

I'm waiting for a "Boom goes the dynamite" moment.

For those who don't know, there is a very unfortunate (and young) TV sportscaster captured on Youtube who freezes up totally -- but who does manage to weakly use the catchphrase "boom goes the dynamite" at one point. I think Obama might get to that point one of these days.

LOL. GREAT line. If Bob Hope were here, he would steal it, though probably without the b-word ;)

LOL. Thanks.
I’m just thinking how scorned TOTUS must’ve felt that night, and the “b” word came to mind.
