His grammar is sometimes off tense.

He also does that thing I really hate--"I want to thank those who supported Michelle and I." He's just another undereducated pseudo-patrician who believes that the subject form of the personal pronoun is called for every time there is a plural.

They will be giving the questions they want asked to the reporters soon.

Some coworkers mentioned that. They believe every question had a teleprompter answer. I of course did not watch and subject myself to such agony.

Pathetic... and Predictable.

What can you say about an empty suit that hasn’t already been said?

The best refute but still quite lamest is :"Oh! the (R)s overheated the economy!"

Well pardon my french but screw 'em, the only growth they can sustain is Acorn voter registrations and Blago-style corruption.

You don’t seriously think Bush (or Clinton, or Bush, or Reagan) went in with no idea who he wanted to call on, do you? Do you really think their advisers never told them to call on certain people? If so, you’re seriously naive.

None of the previous Presidents, where NO where near scripted as Mr. TOTUS's puppet, especially the Republican Presidents. You might recall the outward hostility the White House press corps showed to President Bush; there was no cooperation between the two - none what so ever.

I'm sure Presidents of the past had an idea what they wanted to be asked by the press corp, but if they did not get the questions they wanted, they spoke of the subject(s) to them nonetheless.

With Obama, these guys are just too happy to lick his rear and cooperate with his scripted message and to a degree unheard of. And if you don't think so - you're seriously niave.

"I think he has mental issues.

If by "mental issues" you mean that he has an extreme case of narcissistic personality disorder - two autobiographies before the age of 45. He has abandonment issues, not just with his mother, but also with his father. Also, he clearly is predisposed to addictive tendencies as seen by his compulsive smoking habit and his cocaine "experimentation" as a young man - not to mention his fitness regimen which I think can be fairly described as obsessive.

What else is interesting, and perhaps others can comment here, is he doesn't seem to have any friends and he certainly doesn't have any long term friendships. Not one person from either his childhood or his high school experiences has maintained any kind of relationship with him. I find this very curious.

And lastly, I think he suffers from bi-polar disorder. I think we're most use to seeing is melancholy mood, which is misinterpreted by the media as his "calm demeanor". But, sometimes we're treated to his manic state as witnessed by the "60 Minutes" interview where Steve Kroft asked him if he was "punch drunk".

If that's what you meant by "mental issues", then I agree completely.

Amazing! Thanks!!!

I’ve heard some of my comments and observations on Rush. I guess FR is show prep for the politicos. We should all be flattered.

someone should throw their shoe at the teleprompter...see how he fares after the screen is busted.

He’d probably collapse to the floor, assume the fetal position, and suck his thumb while rocking back and forth.

Ridiculing Obama for using teleprompters is juvenile. In the grand scheme of things, it means nothing at all.

Funny that you have a whole thread to ridicule, which you only directed your posts to me.

Take your complaint to Rush Limbaugh and see what he thinks.

< ...he doesn’t seem to have any friends... >

:::::

I pointed this out to people during the campaign as a very telling sign of inadequacies in his personality - that he sees people as items to be used - but I usually got a blank stare from folks whe were persuaded by the Dncmedia that he was the answer to America’s problems.

He had groupies, including Hollywood and Oprah, but not childhood or school friends!

I noticed one time he said something like . “Yes, Tim?” like he was taking a question, then had to ask where “Where’s Tim?”.

The guy is as brittle as thin ice. I predict he’s going to crack but good. The sooner the better. The fun of seeing him in a strait jacket hauled out of hte White House by ambulence guys!
