That’s because the 6th graders are smarter than he is!

Why on earth would any grown man need a teleprompter to talk to a class of 6th graders?

If this were Bush, we would never hear the end of it.

“So, let me be very clear: fingerpainting is not uncool. It is, I should say, not only “dope”, but “hip”, “sweet”, “tight”, and “off the chain”.”

This is false. The teleprompter set up was used in Obama’s address to announce some education plan. He met with the students in a completely different room. FR looks silly continually posting and reposting this.

Exit question: how many of the children sitting in that room wondered why they have to memorize speeches they give to the class, but the most powerful man in the world got to not only use notes, but a teleprompter?

Good point. If it was President Bush it would be a really huge story rife with mockery and taunting words.

Our lame brain president brought the teleprompter to address the press not to address students. Students were there as props for a cynical photo opportunity.
This was a five minute speech it seems

So our boy genius philosopher king Obama needs a teleprompter for a five minute speech? Is he that impaired? No wonder foreign leaders are laughing behind his back and don’t respect him

Another “teaching” moment brought to us by the President. As a conservative educator, I would have used the President's example by pointing out how important it is to be able to read, stressing how important it is to actually be able to comprehend what one has read. There, there, now.

Anecdotal evidence can sometimes be a great help in teaching when reinforced with visual aids.

Sorry. There ARE pictures with the teleprompter showing the students in the classroom.

“The Post wrote, “’We’re going to raise the bar for all our students and take bigger steps towards closing the achievement gap that denies so many students, especially black and latino students, a fair shot at their dreams,’ Obama told a group of sixth-graders at Graham Road Elementary.”

Holy cow! Telling a group of kids this? That’s a divisive statement that will cause all sorts of havoc.

Can these dems ever learn not to use race as a whipping boy to divide and conquer?

I can just see the kids looking at “not us!” and blaming them for being denied as “so many students, especially black and Latino students, a fair shot.”

I truly dispise this man.

Spinner on Fox&Friends this morning said the reason for the teleprompters was that this was a major education address.

[If so, why wouldn’t he have done it in the auditorium with ALL the kiddies at that school? Just wondering... Maybe he thought a few hundred elementary kiddies would make too much noise and drown him out. Maybe he was still shell-shocked from that little b.r.t. who interrupted him during his speech in Massachusetts last weekend.]

News flash: The leftie blogs and commentators who will use this to poke fun at right wingers will do so regardless. It’s not like they need us to give them a reason!

The photo is out there, some who see it are going to conclude that he needed the TOTUS just to talk to 6th graders.

Perception becomes reality.
