It’s obvious that if a report like this surfaced during Bush’s reign the left would be in a tizzy about the ignorance and stupidity of President Bush. Now that we’re talking about Obama, it’s just quirky:

President Barack Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his TelePrompter.

The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he speaks.

Resting on top of a tall, narrow pole, they flank his podium during speeches in the White House’s stately parlors. They stood next to him on the floor of a manufacturing plant in Indiana as he pitched his economic stimulus plan. They traveled to the Department of Transportation this week and were in the Capitol Rotunda last month when he paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln in six-minute prepared remarks.

Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual – not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events large and small.

After the teleprompter malfunctioned a few times last summer and Obama delivered some less-than-soaring speeches, reports surfaced that he was training to wean himself off of the device while on vacation in Hawaii. But no luck.

He’s an empty shell. The foolish in this Republic have elected someone who cannot think on his own, who does the bidding of only those who got him into the White House and is obviously n over his head.

But he’s the messiah, so we should all just overlook that.

As for his oratory skills, he is better then average…but in no way, shape, or form should he be considered famous for the skill. He is not in the same league as the great ones….one of those being Ronald Reagan who could actually think on his feet without the teleprompter.

The obvious is sinking in slowly. Obamaloons are heading for the bunkers.

Obama’s simple problem is he is not an American. He was born in Hawaii and given up for adoption when 2. His new Muslim parents, the Soretos took him to Indonesia, which made him an Indonesian citizen. So Barry Soreto’s formative childhood years were spent in a Muslim country, ruled by a Military Junta. So how exactly do you get American culture and values from that?

That’s the reason he sounds funny to most American’s without his little buddy. Which is why he needs the TelePrompter with a script loaded to read, written by an America writer. Obama the ACTOR, and good at acting, just not so hot at talking or thinking as an American. Today’s session with his little buddy and healthcare was hilarious. His head looked like the swivel restraint came loose.

And — The teleprompter script writers know that P/E ration means price to earnings, Barry Soreto thinks it means profits and earning or whatever he makes up.

Our PRAVDA media did not vet this poor fellow, and hence his little buddy is needed, everywhere. And what about that presser with the PM of England, well how would that look if his little buddy had to tag along — LOL.

It is scary that he cannot think on his feet like this. It worries me on who is putting what is on the teleprompter. This is truly the Manchurian Candidate. He is just a puppet being controlled from someone else. But who?

Foreign born George Soros would be my guest.

How is that the White House can attack Rush Limbaugh, a private citizen and native American, yet the Dems links to Soros are off limits?

This is so pathetic. I’m sure every president frequently used a teleprompter since the option became available, but c’mon! Obama continues to prove what a mental midget he is.

And I never thought Obama was a great orator. But then again, during his speeches, I was always keeping my ears open for substance – no doubt a foreign concept to him.

Over the years many have entered the White House as puppets of those who wish to control all the wealth and resources of the world, none succeeded but did help move the ball closer to the goal.

Circumstances were not right, and a crisis could not be “created” that was dire enough to persuade enough Americans to give up their freedoms to combat the crisis.

Obama is the Communist “Godfather” gone global. Franks, Dodd, Schumer and Durbin “created” the crisis with Fannie/Freddie by blocking every attempt to rein them in from 1998-2006 (it’s in the public records, look it up), Fannie/Freddie crashed in Sept. 2007, taking a few banks and AIG down in the process. The economy had started to adjust and was beginning to show some signs of improvement in Aug. 2008. On Sept 10 2008 McCain pulled 2,2 points ahead of Obama.(RCP national avg Sept.10 2008, McCain 47.4, Obama 45.2) On Sept 11, 2008 there was a 2 hour electronic run on the banks to the tune of 550 Billion, Rep Kanjorski (D) said if the banks had not been closed 5.5 trillion would have been withdrawn and the US economy would have collapsed, and within 24 hrs. the world economy. Thus a “crisis” was created that ensured a win for Obama.

Who but Obama’s Puppet masters George Soros and the 100+ members of the Democracy Alliance have enough money in money market funds to execute such a run on the banks, and tell George Bush and the World, “Go along with our plan for Global Communist Domination, or we will collapse the world’s economy and create Global chaos.

What will be the next “Created Crisis” that will permit Obama to declare a National Emergency which will put his Communist Puppet master Crime bosses in position to rape the worlds resources and people for their personal gain and power.

Does it ease you guys’ pain to tell yourselves over and over that Obama is dumb? Well, sorry to spoil your yuks, but I should remind you that Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. And he’s demonstrated his ability to think on his feet over and over: The debates with McCain, the debates with Hillary, the interview with O’Reilly, his first Presidential press conference, just off the top of my head.

But keep laughing if it makes you feel better. I guess you can’t stand the fact that Obama is so much more eloquent and better liked than Bush was. If only your guy had used a teleprompter!

If President Bush was a black Democrat lacking in judgement and moral fiber, he’d probably have rated pretty high in the MSNBC/CNN/NY Times type of polls, too. Actually, I always thought he performed better in speaking situations where he WASN’T reading a speech or teleprompter. It was from the heart, and you knew it was real.

Is there a ‘teleprompters-anonymous’ group out there somewhere? I’d suggest a 12-step program to Mr. O to get weaned off that baby.

It was always obvious to me why Obama can’t speak without a teleprompter and it has nothing to do with NOT being smart. Think “Goebbels” and pay close attention to the play on words. This is BRILLIANT propaganda, and it has been from day one. Obama can’t afford a “slip up” which is very easy to do when one speaks from lies and not from the heart. Trust me that every word out of his teleprompter mouth is calculated and “audience tested.”

Proof of that is his continued high approval ratings despite the fact many Americans have lost 25% of their retirement monies just since he took office. While America is being “quietly disassembled”, the majority “waits in hope and trust of the messiah”, with only a spared handful even questioning the “czar power grab.” Otherwise known as the “kool-aid”, this is how political propaganda /brainwashing works. I keep telling you guys Obama is the “plucked and groomed closer” to a long orchestrated and awaited American “counter” revolution (and don’t ignore the behind the scenes Lady McBeth). Of course George Soros is the head puppet master, with a lot of help from his billionaire friends.

If anyone doubts we are living in “interesting times”, this is off the charts American History “in the happening.” Forget Esperanto, the patois of the times is “Obama Code!”

@pdill: Iagree that if one is speaking from the heart, there’s usually no need for a script. Obama stumbles with his words when no teleprompter is present because if he actually told us what he is really thinking the American people would dump him in a heartbeat.

We’ve never seen before a President who cannot handle even the daily communication tasks of being president without a teleprompter. I’d remind a giant slor that Bush went to Harvard too and he never used a teleprompter for day to day announcements.

Obama is just on a par with actors or newscasters who can read their lines with some conviction but when placed in a situation where they have to actually think and respond to people and events, they go belly up. How long before the Magic Negro Emperor is perceived by the public as having no clothes? (Excepting the libtard women reporters who fantasize about such things in print)

@ a giant slor: how do any of us know how well The One did in school? Can you produce his academic records? Can you produce just one of his legal papers from his school years? Hell, you can’t even produce a birth certificate, much less his academic credentials. Instead, we’re simply told “he’s so smart.” By what measure? On a $100 bet, I’ll put my academic record up against his any day. I can produce my records. Now where are his?

I think the guy’s far dumber than W, which is saying a lot.

@a giant slor:

Obama strikes me as a snake oil salesman who will tell you what you want to hear if he thinks you will buy his product. Is he dumb? I rather doubt it; in fact, Ii think he’s cursed with the kind of intelligence you see in many politicians: his narcissism and socialist agenda prevent him from thinking critically outside of his own convictions and rehearsed rhetoric. He seems simply unable to comprehend any predicament outside of his own upbringing. That’s why he fails to understand the middle-class. He doesn’t even have any middle-class taxpayers in his Middle Class Task Force! Indeed, that’s why he needs such a task force to explain the middle-class predicament and to make policy recommendations in areas that affect the middle class.

The economy was not bad in 2000 or 2004, then, the housing bubble was moving along fine. The housing bubble did not burst untill 2006. The credit crisis began in 2007. The massive down leg was 2008. A good blacksmith strikes when the iron is hot.
