Walter Mondale to Obama: How about you lay off those “idiot boards,” champ?

Apparently it’s affecting his emotional connection with the people. And if anyone’s qualified to opine on connecting with Americans, it’s the guy who lost 49 states to Reagan after serving as Jimmy Carter’s VP.

I love a TOTUS joke as much as the next guy, but … I don’t think he’s joking here.

“He uses these idiot boards to read speeches in television, and I think he loses the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters,” Mondale said in an interview set to air this evening on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, according to a transcript from the network.

“Idiot board” is a term used in television and movie production to refer to boards held up for performers to read off.

Fritz, it's precisely to prevent him from connecting emotionally with the American voters. If that happened, they'd be dumping him all the more quickly.

Mondale: ... the guy who lost 49 states to Reagan after serving as Jimmy Carter’s VP.

...And then he lost a Senate race recently in the one state he won in '80. He is the only politician I know who has lost an election in every state.

How must it feel for Obama, to be thoroughly pwned by Walter Mondale? Must feel like being beat up by Pee Wee Herman. Getting a wedgie from Jimmy Carter...

I always liked Mondale on a personal level...this is one more reason why.

Obozo has simply elevated the same “logic” he applies to the illegals debate to his maladministration, to wit:

They are just doing the work Obozo won’t do!

YUP, all he had to do was be a ‘Bill Cosby’ president.
He had a golden opportunity to implore Black dads to stay with their families and teach his community some personal responsibility.

But once a community rabble rouser always a community rabble rouser. He’d rather have his people get in our face than save some face.

As it is the black-white; rich-poor divide has never been wider.

Actually, if you count Mondales failed try for Wellstones seat he was rejected by all 50 states.

You would think he might have the grace to just slink away into obscurity.

Obungo doesn’t need a teleprompter when out campaigning like he has been doing recently. His act means speaking with more of a black southern accent with preacher cadences. This is what dumbass Americans fell for in 2008. It seems so fake and contrived now. Obungo is in his element trying to stir up the Democrat dullards to troop over to the polls this November

0bungo is incoherent when it comes to governing. Then he is in dire need of the teleprompter. The first affirmative action president ain’t too bright
