OMG, is that picture of him in the cowboy hat for real?

It’s even funnier than Dukaka in the tank.

So now they’re using a teleprompter at every stump speech, even during his supposedly extemporaneous remarks.

Is there such a thing as an extemporaneous remark while using a teleprompter...isn’t that some sort of an oxymoron?

To be perfectly honest, there’s an even funnier photo in that vein of President Calvin Coolidge in the 1920’s (In Amity Shlaes’ recent book on the Great Depression “The Forgotten Man”). I don’t know exactly what sort of event the taciturn Vermonter was attending but his enthusiastic hosts had dressed him up in this ridiculous Tom Mix style cowboy get-up with blazing, white oversized chaps sporting his name, hip, hip, hooraying and the whole nine yards. Somehow he pulled it off and wrung out a smile but you had to giggle.

He’s got “good” news for him, with the news about Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch. The stock market is dropping, so now he’ll say it’s the return of the Great Depression, and scare voters to death about that. He’ll start comparing McCain to President Hoover, never mind about George W. Bush.

Since we're not sure if he is running against Sarah Palin or John McCain, maybe the debate format ought to be:

  1. McCain vs. Obama
  2. Palin vs. Biden
  3. Palin vs. Obama

I'll guarantee you that debate #3 would draw the biggest television audience.

"it sure is completely necessary to keep saying his middle name all the time! Its almost like we’re trying to put an image in people’s heads! But nah, that would be insidious and untruthful! and EVERYONE knows that conservatives always tell the truth!"

Hmmm...NO WAY is it obvious that you are a DUmmie troll...not a CHANCE, because all people know that DUmmies are always level-headed and rational...

I think a big problem with the liberals / radicals such as Obama is that they can’t talk comfortably about their true beliefs and still get elected. Conservatives tend to be proud of conservative values, and willing to talk about them, and try to persuade people to their point of view. But the liberals need to hide their true beliefs.

Consider that Rick Warren seminar. Obama said thinking about when life begins is above his pay grade. He doesn’t give a **%*% when life begins, because he is pro-abortion. He doesn’t want to discuss any aspects of abortion. He wants abortion on demand and that’s the end of the discussion as far as he’s concerned. But he can’t just say he’s pro-abortion, and the mother’s “choice” trumps all other concerns. And he can’t say that when life begins is irrelevant, but in his mind it is irrelevant.

And that’s part of the reason he leans on the tele prompter. In the written speeches, they carefully choose and parse their words. In an interview setting, he can get lost with exactly how he wants to say something without disclosing his real radical views.

He won’t need a teleprompter because he will have the debate questions before the debate.

You may have hit it on the head there. It’s not that Obama can’t speak eloquently off-the-cuff. It’s just that he knows that if he does speak frankly, he’ll horrify his audience. Therefore, each. Little. Word. Has to be carefully vetted before he lets it out. And that’s why he’s so awkward without a script.

The hunting photo in that snippet reminds me of a funny story from J.French Kerry's 2004 campaign. His handlers told him that he needed a photo shoot in SW Pennsylvania or SE Ohio to assure all the pheasant hunters he was OK with the 2nd Amendment.

So he goes on a pheasant hunt, it is not clear who shoots the pheasants (probably the guide or one of his handlers), but when it comes time to pick up the pheasants for the photo-op, JFK picks them up by the necks and gets blood all over his camos.

They gently advise him to hold them by the feet, but his schedule is running late and there's no time to change the camos for the photo-op. So they go ahead with the shoot and doctor the photos. A few days later, the photo is on campaign lit which is in everybody's mailbox in SW PA and southern Ohio.

The real story has already made the rounds through hunting circles. So the only thing the men who got the mailing are talking about is finding where the photo was doctored. The doctors did a great job, but you can still find it if you know where to look.

Might accidentally belittle those "clinging to their guns and religion."

Surely Biden is now carrying a teleprompter, too. Talk about dangerous.

I think our candidates need to make sure the mikes at the debates are wired, and come carrying devices that jam Bluetooth, wi-fi and cellphone frequencies. I wouldn’t put it past the demonRATs to try to cheat by giving Obama and Biden little earpieces to feed them answers.

Time for some OBama is so Dumb jokes.

Obama can’t order take out from McDonalds without a teleprompter.

Obama can’t play solitare without a teleprompter.

Obama uses a teleprompter in the Bedroom.
