Late night comedians have had a difficult problem. Presidents are usually the source of most late night joke, but comedians are having a hard time finding any material to make jokes about President Obama. This isnt anything new, it was also true during the campaign.
Possibly they just need some help. Could you imagine if Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush had used a teleprompter to answer questions during a press conference? The late night joke writers wouldnt have let it go until the President gave in to the merciless ridicule as he was painted as an idiot who couldnt tie his shoes without being fed instructions on how to do it.
While people who watched Obamas first national press conference noticed his use of a teleprompter to give his initial presentation as well as in answering questions, the media and late night joke writers completely ignored it. The American Spectator notes that in many events:
down to many of the questions and the answers to those questions [t]eleprompter screens at the events scrolled not only his opening remarks, but also statistics and information he could use to answer questions.
Apparently, Obama is looking to install a computer screen into the White House podiums so that, according to one Obama advisor, It would make it easier for the comms guys to pass along information without being obvious about it. [Emphasis added.] Obamas aides would put together answers to a large number of possible questions so as soon as a reporter asks a particular question the computer screen could flash talking points to remind Obama how hes supposed to respond to that question.
Finally this week a news story in Politico broke . . . .

it is to laugh.
Because he can’t.
This guy can’t pass wind without using a Teleprompter.
Watch for a version small enough to be put in spectacle frames, and watch for this hack to suddenly need glasses immediately after.
Reagan WAS painted as an idiot because he used 3x5 cards when talking to Congressmen about his tax cut bill. The cards helped him remember what pork each Congressman would want included in the bill.
"And in the words of that great American, Abraham Lincoln: 'Zombies Ahead.'"
Maybe he’s stoned...
Because he is a mindful dependent??
That was easy.
It's the Holy Teleprompter of Saint Axelrod. +20 to charisma, lowers the INT and WILL of those in range, and allows Obama's Spell of Ensorcelment an +60 chance of hitting. . .
Mr. Obama was asked whether he agreed with Mr. Holder [nation of cowards]. He hesitated for five seconds before responding.
Im not somebody who believes that constantly talking about race somehow solves racial tensions, Mr. Obama said. I think what solves racial tensions is fixing the economy, putting people to work, making sure that people have health care, ensuring that every kid is learning out there. I think if we do that, then well probably have more fruitful conversations.

In five seconds all he could come up with was a canned talking point of the day. The man, God help us, is just not very bright.
Because he has the attention span of a squirrel on cocaine !

The left wing liberal elite that makes up Hollyweird detested Reagan and Hated with a capital H, Bush.
They worked tirelessly to get Obama elected and all but appointed him as the Second Coming.
So who thinks that they are going to do anything to harm their boy now?
I doubt that he has been yet but should he be?
Hack into Obama’s teleprompter, and insert the Thulsa Doom script from Conan the Barbarian:
“When I am gone, it will be as if you had never been”
“Who will not face emptiness”
“What would your world be, without me?”
The mass population has to start making it a joke!
Because he’s afraid that in giving a speech in one of these 57 or 58 states that make up the United States that he’ll get so nervous and mess up that he’ll need a breathalyzer. I mean an inhalator.
(Because, truth be known, he is not an intelligent man. Affirmative action has given him a false sense of high self esteem).
A free world.
Then the only thing that can destroy it is the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
