The Great Teleprompter of the United States


I've been out of town since Thursday morning without access to the internet or TV, so where should I start with all the obam-inable things he's done in the past 4 days?

Hmmm, he's appeared on Jay Leno, making jokes and having fun while the economy is in the toilet. Apparently he even compared his bowling skills to those of an athlete in the Special Olympics. What would happen if George Bush or Sarah Palin cracked a joke about mentally retarded people?

He appeared on 60 minutes last night and was laughing and smiling while talking about the economy.

The Congressional Budget Office just released the news that under Obama's budget for 2010, by 2019 the U.S. national debt will be about 82 percent of GDP.

OK, this is just too depressing - let's look at something funny from King of the Teleprompter. At a St. Patrick's Day celebration at the White House, Ireland's prime minister got up to give a speech. He was a couple of lines into when he realized it had malfunctioned and put the speech Obama had just given on the teleprompter rather than his speech. He stopped and turned to the president and said "that's your speech". Obama laughed, went back to the podium, and the teleprompter had switched back to the prime minister's speech while he was walking up. So Obama did what he always does, read from the teleprompter, and thanked himself for being invited to the White House!!!! Click here and here to read.
