Obama is weaning himself off of TOTUS

[TScott]

Obama. I don't get why people are up in arms over poking fun at Obama about this. It's not like Clinton didn't get hammered for being overly... excited or Bush for the way he spoke ("nuk-u-lar").

Who's up in arms?

Not me. I always thought this was precious...

Reagan having teleprompter trouble - YouTube

 

[Rion]

Bleeding. He was so upset he was posting about in another thread. Touma seemed angry as well.

 

[TScott]

Yeah, I didnt see those bless and do not curse thingys before, but Touma didn't seem so angry. Exasperation isn't always anger...

Did Reagan ever use it in a sixth-grade class?

The thing about Reagan was that when he used the teleprompter, you didn't feel like you were watching him watch a tennis match.

Not to mention I was sucking my thumb for a good two hours, thank you very much.

Why do you hate tennis players Mach?

Meh. I didn't mean to offend you. You just seemed kind of hacked off over.

OBAMA’S TELEPROMPTER STOLEN!

[Barry was livid with TOTUS] and had to cancel his speech in front of a class of kindergarten students. ”I had my speech all planned out, I was going to tell the kids to eat some vegetables, or donuts, or something, but I don’t remember, and I wanted them to think about something important like the NBA, but I forgot what I was going to say. I feel terrible that I had to cancel. They deserve to hear me.”

Here is the typical setup [Pres__ent] Obama uses when he speaks to kindergarten classes:

Unlike the...

Yes, in all 57 states

I don't have my cut and paste image but: I PLAY THE RACE CARD! Match over.

 

[rivertree]

Very funny, Rion, one can only hope it is true. Did you notice that in Virginia, he was back to using his southern accent?

 

[Maynard Keenan]

Absolute non-issue; typical Republican tactic of identifying an enemy's strength and attacking it as if it is a weakness.

Race card doesn't do that.

I should know, I made the cards myself.

I rarely listen to him any more. I read the transcripts, they're faster and have less "uhs."

My thoughts:

A) Only four years (including 2008 election) to get this far! Soon, he'll be a real-boy with no strings or a wooden body! *glances at Soros* Well, a real body at least...
B) If his previous gaffes were WITH the teleprompter, I imagine he'll soon out-Biden Biden without one.

Does the Right ever get tired of this cannard? Do you guys really think that George W Bush, the most incomprehenisbly maladroit public speaker in U.S. presidential history never used a teleprompter????

The fact that you guys:
1. Bring this up ad nauseam as if Obama was the first to use a Teleprompter

2. Find it so funny

Indicates that:

A. You have no concept of history
B. You are being massively, MASSIVELy hypocritical.

Need I remind you of the Right's HISTORY?

Recognize this guy?

(See the teleprompter? The guy, if you are confused is REAGAN)

How 'bout this guy?

(That's George H.W. Bush...he was a REPUBLICAN president! See the teleprompter screen there?)

And finally, let me present you with the ONE REPUBLICAN who apparently ESCHEWS teleprompters....SARAH PALIN:

Why use a teleprompter when you have a pen and your palm?

Give. Us. A. Break.

We already brought up Palin (I had a joke but deleted it just to be safe) and someone pointed out the difference between Reagan (using) and Obama (addicted).

And I pointed out at the REAL difference was R vs. D.
