Three minutes, two teleprompters
Washington Examiner ^ | Monday August 29, 2011 | Hayley Peterson

Posted on 08/29/2011 10:14:37 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

President Obama required two heavy-duty teleprompters on Monday during a three-minute speech in which he nominated Alan Krueger to serve as chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers.

"I am very pleased to appoint Alan and I look forward to working with him," Obama said, staring at the large, flat-screen monitor to his right, then shifting his eyes to the teleprompter on his right. "I have nothing but confidence in Alan as he takes on this important role as one of the leaders of my economic team."

Teleprompters are the puppet strings of Obama. Somewhere in that room there is someone with a keyboard. I want a picture of that guy. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain Dorthy. The Great and Mighty wizard of 0z is speaking!

The media, of course, will return like migratory birds to the ‘Obama is a great communicator’ line during all of 2012 despite all evidence to the contrary including the glaze-eyed union automatons herded onto bleachers to act as a human backdrop for one of his ludicrous sleeves-rolled-up appearances.

If you do a Google on this guy [Krueger] you will see he is another "spend our way to prosperity" academic with ZERO experience, or understanding, of the real world.

Bingo!! Guy has been a professor since receiving his PhD. Has never worked outside the academic field. It's going to be just the same old stuff from Team Obama. It's positively scary how little private sector experience exists in this Administration. Starts at the top and goes all the way through the Cabinet, czars, etc. These people are dangerously clueless about the private sector. The economy is NEVER going to get better with this team in charge.

[...would LOVE for some conservative gen-x’er (yes, they do exist) to hack into the controls of the Teleprompter of the United States and substitute words to the effect “I resign from the office of the president of the US]

""I am very pleased to appoint Alan and I look forward to working with him," Obama said, staring at the large, flat-screen monitor to his right, then shifting his eyes to the teleprompter on his right. "And my tiny little nipples went to France."

OMG the person responsible would go down in history as one of the greatest patriots ever.

Wearing a dunce cap, Don Bahl attends the Tea Party Express tour kick-off in Napa, Calif. on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2011. Bahl said he voted for President Barack Obama in the last election but didn't get the change he wanted.

It would be great indeed but unfortunately it is a closed system I am sure.

"rumors should be started that O’Bummer has Alzheimer’s disease."

My daughter-in-law won't speak to me now because I posted on Facebook the video of Obama on July 15th saying he was turning 50 in a week. That would make his birthday July 22nd not August 4th like the phoney birth certificate says. My coment was one would have to have Alzheimer's or not be who they say they are if they don't know their birthday (as per the BC).

She took offense and hasn't spoken to me since.
