Teleprompter Shot of the Day (this is NOT photoshopped!)

The Corner ^ | 26 January 2010 | Rich Lowry

[SE Mom]

Here's Obama dropping in for a chat with his middle-class task force. And people made fun of Reagan because of his notecards!

[SE Mom]

This is getting a tad unsettling...although hilarious.

He CANNOT think on his feet..

[SE Mom]

[mazda77]

Isn’t it now obvious this dolt can’t think at all?

[SE Mom]

Speaking informally...with TOTUS in tow..

[Allegra]

Yes, and I've noticed on the rare occasion that I can stomach watching him how his head constantly swivels back and forth.

O-Bobblehead.

[wilco200]

That’s great. Wonder if he brought TOTUS to the big Birthday dinner with MO?

Party of three. One child’s menu.

[subterfuge]

The guy on The Daily Show showed photo of BO with teleprompters speaking to SIXTH GRADERS last night! He claimed it was NOT photoshopped. Now that is sad!

[al_c]

Doesn’t he even stop to think about his line of sight when using those things? When he’s looking at the words, to his audience it appears he’s staring over their heads. What a maroon.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

[brytlea]

Is he completely unaware that this makes him look like a stooge for someone else? Seriously, anyone with a lick of sense might think he needed them because he is not saying his own words...

[jennyjenny]

LOL, there for a minute I thought your post said "middle-school class. Hahahahaha....oh wait.....

[Mr. K]

What I want to know is who is typing in the answers when he is speaking to a live audience

[sissyjane]

What a loser. Loserman!!!!

[al_c]

He needs to just go ahead and get one of these ....

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LMAO!!!!!!

[albie]

The chump in charge needs teleprompters to say good morning to his kids.

[thefactor]

This is beginning to get silly...and scary.

Rahm might as well have his hand up Obama's butt and be making his mouth move. It's the same thing. They really do not want him to say anything on his own.

And from this shot, whenever he's reading off the prompter, he'd be looking way over the heads of anyone in the audience. Not exactly personal.

[SE Mom]

I mean REALLY...this is a little CHAT for Pete’s sake...not the State of The Union.

WTH- seriously- does he talk to his girls without TOTUS?

[Frantzie]

Drudge should put this one up. This looks like the Third Reich in business suits.

[bigbob]

I used to think it was just a good joke, but I agree. It’s beginning to look like an actual dependency. He must be deathly afraid he’s screw up if he doesn’t have TOTUS, as he knows these photos get out and what (some) people say about them.

[massgopguy]

The one on Holly Robishaud’s Herald Blog is better. He’s in a 6th grade class. Is Barack Obama smarter than a 6th grader? Guess not.

[AvgGuyIA]

More proof that Obama is an empty suit. No one briefed him on what to think about the “middle class” so he has to read it. That guy second from the left is looking out with a WTF look on his face.

[SE Mom]

Oh man....THAT is brilliant- and stolen:)

[bray]

He’s just saving jobs for the Teleprompter setter uppers.

Pray for America’s Troops

[McGruff]

Is this a Weekend at Bernie’s situation?

[Candor7]

Ask yourself why? Take a look at the scars:

[DJ MacWoW]

Good point. Remember during the debates when DUmmies accused Bush of having an earpiece.....and he didn’t. The left is utterly silent on the teleprompters and who’s typing info.

[stocksthatgoup]

Members of the Middle Class Task Force include: Vice President Biden, Chair; the Secretaries of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Treasury, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and Agriculture; as well as the Directors of the National Economic Council, the Office of Management and Budget, the Domestic Policy Council, and the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors

[rightwingintelligentsia]

He must be deathly afraid he’s screw up

I'm thinking it's more like his handlers are deathly afraid he'll screw up and blurt out their agenda, like he did with Joe the Plumber.

[onyx]

He’s an empty vessel and one that can’t memorize scripts, which puts him below the intelligence of wannabe hollywood actors.

[Doogle]

"he'd be better off with a blanket, maybe one of Chewies old sweaters"

[SE Mom]

I remember that photo- and we looked around and found some others too- there is SOMETHING (more than the obvious) not RIGHT with him...

[Wee-Weed Up]

Not just 1 teleprompter, but 2 teleprompters.

[R. Scott]

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Which scars? The one on the other guy’s neck or the funny lines on 0s head?

[GraceCoolidge]

This one is pretty bad, but I don’t think anything will top the one of him on the campaign trail when he took the teleprompter with him to the rodeo. Does anyone else remember that?

[WOBBLY BOB]

"VW needs a bailout? how much did their union contribute?"

[Candor7]

The guys neck of course, since that seems to be your style.

[Freee-dame]

Is he completely unaware that this makes him look like a stooge for someone else? Seriously, anyone with a lick of sense might think he needed them because he is not saying his own words...

bingo

[chuck_the_tv_out]

catpicthread?

[R. Scott]

“Middle class” - wearing pin stripe suits?

[ColdOne]

This is out of control now..... We have 3 more years of this.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Uh. Did we have some argument? I don’t remember it.

[coconut47]

Geesh and they made fun of Bush. Bush was a genius compared to this moron.

[FReepaholic]

He's not real. This is a complete animatronic kit they had the guys at Disney make for them.

They can just fold it up and take it anywhere they want.

[COUNTrecount]

TOTUS and his tool box.

[updatedscreenname]

more like the movie Dave (1993)

The real 0 is in the basement after having a stroke.
Maybe he decided to take the blue pill:)

Why else would he need the teleprompters;)
Why else would he go to Copenhagen and loose the 0limpics?
Why else would he give some many speeches and tv appearances?

We’ll never actually know the truth

[Dumpster Baby]

It's his containment field.

[presently no screen name]

because he is not saying his own words...

Exactly! He NEEDS to be kept on track. If his worshipers KNEW or heard what was really in his heart - what conservatives have been saying all along - it would be all over for BHO.

[Doogle]

I think his handlers know he will revert to street lingo if he loses track....and THEY CAN NOT have that.......
