Which would explain why Obama became so angry and flustered when the CNN guy went off-script!!

It was so prepared it sure sounded like he knew the questions in advance.

That's because in addition to 0bama having the TOTUS, the reporter that were called on also the TOTPOTPOTUS -- the Telepromter Of The Press Of The President Of The United States.

Obama gave it away that the reporters where preselected when he called on Ann Compton and said “you look surprised Ann?”

And Compton responded “I am.”

There is something wrong with him. They can say he’s smart and a great speaker all they want, I sure as hell don’t see it. I think he has mental issues.

2005 Bush Press Conference when the reporters were allowed to raise their hands!

To be fair, President Bush did use a list of reporters at some of his press conferences as well. It's not exactly the same thing (I don't believe he told them in advance that he was going to call on them), but it does mean that the reporters raising their hands had nothing to do with who got to ask questions.

he is a great speaker with the teleprompter and I'll tell you why. The words are right in front of him so he doesn't have to think about anything except one thing: how great and wonderful he thinks he is. So he uses his big ego to sound like a great and powerful speaker. It's not so easy for a more humble person to speak like that and that is why he has such a big advantage.

The press are nothing but a bunch of loser Telestinians with a car-swarm mentality.

Yes, President Bush used his list to only identify reporter.

When Hilliary went on some shows, she demanded to know what they were going to ask her in advance.

I also think she had her lackeys present questions she wanted to answer.

HEADLINE:

Big Screen No More

Big Screen found duct taped, unplugged, but still smoking after being executed with a deliberate high voltage power surge by enraged Twin Teleprompters. The motive appears to
have been insane jealousy.

Teleprompter #1 blurbed that they simply could not take their master’s rejection.

Teleprompter #2 just flashed repeated visuals of crocodile tears.

They were taken into custody by Federal Marshalls but immediately pardoned by the president who said he just could not exist without them.
