Obama declared that ‘it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy, but not before enthusiastically declaring that ‘it is wonderful to be back in Delaware.’ ‘Before I begin, obviously the world is watching reports of a downed...

Yes, the troops in Afghanistan have been inspired or at least lectured, by a vainglorious president, a man of little note and record, President Obama. In a speech hailed by Obama's most outspoken sycophant and pimp, Chris Mathews, as being reminiscent of Henry V's address to his troops on the eve of a critical battle, in which they faced almost certain annihilation at Agincourt, France. [VIDEO AT SITE] Chris Mathews, "I imagine being a soldier over there -- this is what you want to hear." It was right out of Henry V actually, a touch of Barry, in this case,...

Apparently it’s affecting his emotional connection with the people. And if anyone’s qualified to opine on connecting with Americans, it’s the guy who lost 49 states to Reagan after serving as Jimmy Carter’s VP. I love a TOTUS joke as much as the next guy, but … I don’t think he’s joking here. “He uses these idiot boards to read speeches in television, and I think he loses the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters,” Mondale said in an interview set to air this evening on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, according to a transcript from...

Two private investigators working independently are asking why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state. In addition, the records indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama's earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin & Robbins ice cream shop in Oahu, Hawaii. WND has copies of affidavits filed separately in a presidential eligibility lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia by Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels and Colorado private...

Just when the teleprompter gets out of the news. Maybe President Obama's teleprompter wanted more coverage. After all, last month it was getting a ton of media attention. Especially when the teleprompter was retired temporarily in favor of a giant IMAX-type screen at the president's last press conference. Today, the teleprompter broke the moratorium and got back in the news cycle. --snip-- Oops So far, so good. But then the jealous teleprompter demanded equal time. When the president was announcing the members of his science and technology council, the teleprompter froze up. Not having note cards, what else could the...

The following symbol can be used nationwide by drivers... whenever they see someone with an Obama bumper sticker. As you pass the other vehicle, make the following motion to the driver to express your support. The circle stands for Obama, our president. The back and forth motion reflects the inevitable progress -- like the tide itself -- of his Marxist agenda. Messiah In TrainingSeveral Democrat political consultants say that Barack Obama spent part of his vacation in Hawaii working on weaning himself off his heavy dependence on teleprompters. Apparently, even at events that are considered "town hall" events, Obama's remarks...

TOTUS, I’m beginning to detect a serious stream of Obama-speak spewing from the White House and b. Hussein’s cabinet members. We’ve put great trust in your ability to lead, as not only the president’s linguist but also his intelligence. You have great responsibility to ensure the words he speaks actually say something. Tenet #3 governing your actions, therefore, is decreed as follows:

President Obama chucked his reliable teleprompter this evening in favor of a giant TV screen pictured here. The president conducted his second press conference since coming into office inside the East Room of the White House Tuesday night. (PAUL J RICHARDS/AFP/NEWSCOM)Leave it to FOX News to lead their coverage this evening with details on the new teleprompter President Obama used during his opening comments. Actually it was just a monstrously large TV screen. Some are speculating that it resembled a drive-in theater movie screen. Before recapping what the president said this evening, FOX anchor Brett Baier showed a photo of...

There's a special relationship that exists between Barack Obama and his teleprompter.

The first appearance by a sitting president on "The Tonight Show" may well end up being the last. President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled. Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he's gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley. He bowled a 129, the president said. "That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically. It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president said. When asked about the remark,...
