Japanese national TV (FNN News Network) ran an embarrassing segment on President Obama and his little "teleprompter" failure embarrassment at the White House.

The PAGE LINK is HERE. Go there, then just click the orange box with the arrow, right below the photo of the Teleprompter-in-Chief (TOTUS), and it will stream once loaded. Report about 1 minute long, in Japanese. As with most Japanese national TV videos on the web, this link might be up for a day or so. Catch it while you can.

The on screen text says "The President's "secret weapon....?" and also comments that he is one of those to most rely on this method to talk, more so than any other American President. It says that he relies on this "teleprompter" even for the shortest of addresses.

All in all, I would say it is lightly embarrassing and funny, and seems to have the net effect of cutting this man's image down maybe a few more notches in Japan for the Japanese people, who heretofore have been worshipping him at his feet more-or-less like unthinking lambs--egged on by uncritical American and Japanese MSM.

Good on the Japanese media.

Funny we can see the Japanese version but can’t see on MSM in US.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Funny how a few recent No-dong, modified Scuds, Taepodong-2 (aimed at or over Japan), and underground nuke blasts by North Korea--essentially unpunished--can rapidly cause a nation and its media to start a drumroll against the very person largely responsible for creating this new chaos in their Northeast Asia neighborhood.

The Japanese to me are a little more realistic, circumspect, unbeholden to censorship and less doctrinaire than the US--led by its entrenched MSM--to follow actually this Pied Piper over a cliff. I for one am glad they are coming out of their Obama Funk after six long months of it.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You essentially have a controlled media over there in the USA when it comes to this Obama. Even Japanese observers are now just starting to openly comment on how oddly and unnaturally it is skewered on his behalf in the USA, to cover for his mistakes and carry his water on his projects and schemes.

bump

Amen. But then, six months of fawning worship is about as long as any “idoru” gets in Japan anyhow, and Obama is more of an airhead than most of them.

Another thing to remember about idoru is, once the glitter is gone, it never comes back.

I expect their distaste for “The One” to start showing up actively on the comedy shows and when it does, its going to be vulgar as only the Japanese can be.

The American media seem to want to be the propaganda arm of the fascist government of the USA. Department of Eduction brain washing at its finest.

[Never on my watch]

That is the second teleprompter to commit TOTUScide. Biden’s telepromter off’ed itself at a commencement, I think.

The guilt must be too much for them.

Don’t you mean, Pingu Desu?

[rabidralph]

Those wacky Japapanese! Where are the giggling girls and sliding into a pool of tomato sauce?

I don't wish for ANYONE to get a fully loaded Scud missile in Japan, but if it had to fall anywhere....... just sayin....

In a year or two they are going to realize how foolish they were and they will in fact feel very very foolish.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You must be running a different MHZ system them mine. ;-)

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes, they may even resort to Al Jolson black-face.

It ain't going to be purdy.

There will be pissed of Demand-Apology Delegations to Tokyo led by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. I can see it now.

0'no's, bad stuff....

...breaking a teleprompter

Seven years of bad luck...

A mainline news program in Turkey ran a side by side of Obama speaking with its reporter in black face. I found it loathsome, and I hold the left responsible for turning our country into such a joke that foreigners turn to such low ball humor to amuse themselves.

That is encouraging, but won't mean much. The average Obama voter couldn't find Japan on a map, or anywhere else on a map for that matter. No way are they ever going to be aware enough to realize that the rest of the world is coming to the conclusion that Obama is an idiotic buffoon.
