Obama gets ahead of prompter
By ALEXANDER BURNS
President Obamas 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 Presidents Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks before realizing hed 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.
