Obama spoke to 6th Graders in Falls Church, Virginia on Tuesday January 19, 2010.

Watch the White House video. Obama moves his head back and forth, back and forth yet the arse never looks at the students sitting on the floor!

That I need to check out! Thanks.

Ut oh ... a quick look and it seems as if it doesn’t work well with vista.

[Cvengr]

The floor monitors must be for canned laughter and applause.

I used it on vista for months! I think you'll be OK. (I'm on win7 x64 now)

While reading my local news websites (who allow user comments) I have resorted to posting absurd "obama's fault" style rebuttal on every single negative article about anything

It's quite hilarious reading the reactions I am getting. They still haven't figured out I'm messing with their liberal heads.

Good tactic. Let's hope the practice spreads. Plenty of Tea Party supporters could really make an impact on local websites across the country.

Link to video of the appearance in the Falls Church school

He is speaking to a few reporters, and still does not stop in between head swings.

Recently I watched GWB’s Address to Congress after Sept 11, 2001. He used teleprompters but he mostly looked straight ahead - to his audience in the chamber, and the television audience.

The difference: W knew what he was going to say. O is reading what someone wrote for him while he was playing basketball or golf.

In this video, he had to read and swing “I’d like to thank Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, for coming with me today...”

Thank you ...I’ll look at it when I have more time. ;)

Perhaps he was in two different rooms in the school that day.

Perhaps he was in two different rooms in the school that day.

He probably was. His staff probably recognized the challenge to improvise between such impromptu critical thinking environments and assisted him with their technological support.

The sad part is that the students could probably do the speech without a teleprompter.

[Cvengr]

Yes. Recognizing his audience had begun training in social studies, the Obama staff recognized his audience might see right through him if he improvized. Hence the prewritten speech and teleprompter delivery to keep him on his agenda and not theirs. The TOTUS.

[Evil Slayer]

This is the way it should be done.

Whatta marooooon!

I love this one, Pauly.

He can’t even memorize a three minute speech?

Drugs are a terrible thing. A President’s mind is a terrible thing to waste!
