Seems though the show was hijacked.
Any other places this happen?
This seems to happen frequently at stations owned by Clear Channel. They are highly automated, and sometimes the automation goes haywire. If they own a cluster of stations in your area sometimes the feeds of two or more of them get transmitted simultaneously over one another. The price of no longer having to pay human beings to run the board.
Obama: Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Please, be seated.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans, last month I went to Andrews Air Force Base and welcomed home some of our last troops to serve in Iraq. Together, we offered a final, proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens fought, and several thousand gave their lives.
We gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the United States safer and more respected around the world.
(APPLAUSE)
For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq.
(APPLAUSE)
For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country.
(APPLAUSE)
Most of Al Qaida’s top lieutenants have been defeated. The Taliban’s momentum has been broken. And some troops in Afghanistan have begun to come home.
These achievements are a testament to the courage, selflessness, and teamwork of America’s armed forces. At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, they exceed all expectations. They’re not consumed with personal ambition. They don’t obsess over their differences. They focus on the mission at hand. They work together.
Imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their example.
(APPLAUSE)
Think about the America within our reach: a country that leads the world in educating its people; an America that attracts a new generation of high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs; a future where we’re in control of our own energy; and our security and prosperity aren’t so tied to unstable parts of the world. An economy built to last, where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded.
We can do this. I know we can, because we’ve done it before. At the end of World War II, when another generation of heroes returned home from combat, they built the strongest economy and middle class the world has ever known.
(APPLAUSE)
My grandfather, a veteran of Patton’s Army, got the chance to go to college on the G.I. Bill. My grandmother, who worked on a bomber assembly line, was part of a workforce that turned out the best products on Earth...
Hearing Obama speak literally makes me sick to my stomach. Him laughing it up with the press, I actually feel like vomiting.
Even ignoring the teleprompter issue, that man has to be one of the most boring speakers ever. Somehow he pulls off dull, nagging and whining at the same time - something like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but without the comedy and far, far longer. Why do the Dems think he is one of the greatest public speakers ever?
Next time you eat a big meal, and feel the gaseous turbulence brewing, grab a recorder; point the mic down there, and let it rip. Slow it down, speed it up, mix it around, until you get an Obama speech. Keep it, because all of Obama’s speeches are the same.
Obama was giving a press conference at the same time. The station was probably mistakenly running two things at once on-air. Happens all the time, unfortunately.

Reminds me of a weird trick I’ve seen on FOX News here in Pennsylvania. Some group will buy a local ad slot running during a FOX News show, but they’ll just stick their logo on a copy of an ad for a show on CNN or MSNBC. Honestly don’t know if this is CNN or MSNBC themselves trying to sneak an ad onto FOX or if the local group is just trying to give FOX the finger.
On the local out of Sacramento, His home Station, there was one of those Test alert things that went off at a very strange time.
Had a men’s college basketball game going on my local station today.
“There is nothing wrong with your radio. Do not attempt to adjust the dial. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper.
“We will control the frequency; we will control the content. We can roll the vocals, make them flutter. We can change the bass to a soft hum or sharpen treble to crystal clarity. For the next half-hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your radio.
“You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the insane mind to — The Obama Lib-bits.”
If you have the iphone, get the app WunderRadio and you will have access to all the radio stations you want in case the local one gets hijacked.
FR is anationa and international forum; provincial cryptic posts are irritating.
