“They have to load the teleprompter.”

Probably more true than you realize.
OR, if that damned foursome would have let him play through he’d be on time!

Ed Klein (Blood Feud) is on Varney talking about the Clintons if anybody wants something fun to watch while waiting.

[Dagnabitt]

I would like to introduce my life partner, my husband, Mitch Obama.

Mitch emerges, for the first time without wig and makeup. Stunned silence, then rapturous cheering and applause from media.

[fatnotlazy]

Oh and he also has to practice his serious presidential frowny face. That could take a while

Hillary had dinner with FauxCahontas 2 weeks ago in Wash DC attempting to keep her out of the primaries.

Interesting

[mark3681]

He’ll be on any second now. It’s the bottom of the hour commercial break on Rush’s show.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Re Hil and Faux: The issue for Lizzy is strategic—head to head in the primaries, or wait to be drafted. She may be fresh in the liberal public eye, but she’s not all that young, either, and might want to try her luck now. She might not be satisfied with being Secretary of State, har-har.

Val’s cellphone battery died, so she can’t get through to tell him what to say.

[PA-RIVER]

Muslims run on different time tables.

TWEET- Joel Currier, STL Post-Dispatch

Noon press conference in front of Ferguson firehouse, not sure why.

[SoFloFreeper]

22 minutes late....so FAR.....

[tcrlaf]

Nixon presser pushed back until 2pm CST per KMOV

Obama presser at “Some time after 3 PM EST” per CNN

[TomGuy]

CNN doesn’t even have a count-down clock running any more. Right now, they are in a commercial break.

[mark3681]

“Noon press conference in front of Ferguson firehouse, not sure why.”

To tell the locals what Zero had to say an hour earlier.

[jttpwalsh]

President Obama will deliver a statement on the situations in Iraq and Ferguson, Mo. from Edgartown, Mass. on Thursday at 12:15 p.m. ET.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
On July 18, 1969, Mary Jo Kopechne attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island, off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard... reunion of the Robert F. Kennedy campaign workers. Kopechne reportedly left the party at 11:15 p.m. with Robert’s brother Ted, after he ... offered to drive her to catch the last ferry back to Edgartown, where she was staying... Kennedy drove the 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 off a... bridge, which was .... not on the route to Edgartown. The Oldsmobile landed in Poucha Pond and overturned in the water; Kennedy extricated himself from the vehicle and survived, but Kopechne did not.

Now Blitzer says “momentarily”...

Not sure what the h-— is going on now

[nascarnation]

Will be interesting. I think she is just as likely to defeat Hillary in 2016 primaries as Baraq was in 2008. The activist folks who vote and caucus in high percentages can’t be very excited about the Clintons.

[COBOL2Java]

Maybe he’ll finally come out as a Muzzie and recite the Shahada.

Or he could dress like Bowzer and recite the Sha Na Na...

[bunster]

Ferguson press conference. perhaps — some discussion from O and Ferguson people on martial law?????

[nascarnation]

Does Obama show up less than a half hour late, ever?
