President Obama uses two teleprompters while speaking to students at a school in Falls Church, Virginia.

I KNEW someone was going to post a picture!!

Here’s hoping the bathroom teleprompter script is accidentally substituted for the State of the Union speech. LOL

He was talking to the media after he had an informal talk with the kids.

This version would've been more appropriate, given the audience.

Kids the dig the "Steampunk" look.

Go to the White House website, and indeed you will see the teleprompters...at least until they take down the video. There are indeed 6th grade students in the room as seen in the second photo on the WH website. Even if he’s taking only to adults in the first clip, it is a PR disaster of a scene.

note: they taped the play mat so 'his glorious-ness' wouldn't trip over it. brilliant

The Obama campaign declined to discuss Obama's time at Columbia and his friendships in general. It won't, for example, release his transcript or name his friends. It did, however, list five locations where Obama lived during his four years here: three on Manhattan's Upper West Side and two in Brooklyn — one in Park Slope, the other in Brooklyn Heights. His memoir mentions two others on Manhattan's Upper East Side. In about 1982, Siddiqi and Obama got an apartment at a sixth-floor walkup on East 94th Street. Siddiqi managed to get the apartment thanks to subterfuge. "We didn't have a chance in hell of getting this apartment unless we fabricated the lease application," Siddiqi said.

And no one has asked yet if he is smarter than a 6th grader :) :) :)

Maybe we got it wrong - maybe it’s the TELEPROMPTERS that are using HIM! Hahahahaahahaha!

"And the jackass used the “presidential” podium? Can’t he just sit down and read a book to them like W was doing on 9/11? "

or even just TALK to them????

[csense]

Obama doesn't know how to talk to people. He only knows how to grace them with his appearance. Ultimately, there is only one person to whom he speaks: himself. He is his own best audience...

[jackibutterfly]

OMG!! Did any of you listen to that “speech”???? Holy cow! It sounded like he was talking to Congress. Talked about initiatives and funding and “our kids”, etc. This was NOT a speech for kids! This guy is off the planet - he’s sooooo out of touch! Plus, he didn’t even look at the kids once. Unvelievable!!!

I was serious. Are those teleprompters? I thought they would be bigger and brighter. The two I see look thin and transparent from this angle. I guess those are high tec. telepromters. I just didn’t recognize them. Thanks for nudging me to take a second look.

Gee - some people don't even need a script.....

I downloaded it. As proof.
