TOTUS ping!

Excerpt:

Last Tuesday, President Obama spoke to a group of sixth graders and surprisingly brought his trusty teleprompter along to make sure he didn't make any mistakes.

As the Washington Post reported [1] Wednesday, "'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."

Nowhere did the Post mention that the President's teleprompter also appeared before the students...

There is another picture of Obama ‘chatting with kids’ - well, actually, he is shaking hands etc; but this is before or after his speech to children. There are plenty of pics at this event; and they are ‘plenty clear’. Sent some out this morning offering a sigh. . .per TOTUS speaks to grade schoolers. Hope more will share this/these. At Drudge link also; as for sure; this will not be ‘lamestreamed’.

He probably used a teleprompter to speak with his kids right after they were born.

Did the children get to ask TOTUS any questions? If so, were these questions provided to them in advance?

BTW, “Race to the top” sounds “racist” to me.

I DID see some last week. I cannot now find a pic with the kids in the background. There WERE pics from behind Zero that showed the kids. As usual any picture that shows what a doofus he is is scrubbed ASAP. His Internet wizards work really fast.

Yeah I know. Just like to keep the facts straight. It’s bad enough Obama can’t give a 5 minute speech to the nation without teleprompters.

Looking at the text of that speech, I do beleive he MUST HAVE used a teleprompter. I would trust him to memorize maybe ONE minute, but that baby was over FIVE!
The kids however may not have identified it as a teleprompter, they probably thought it was a ‘light shield’
or something.
Either way, Obama and his plans for schoolchildren, really does live up to and fulfills the term the Weekly Standard wrongly applied as criticism to the Bush Plan: ]
“NO CHILD LEFT ALONE”.

Intimidated by his intellectually superior audience.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

In Obama's clean and articulate world, half of them are "um" and "uhhhh".

On the other hand, the kids may be smarter than you think, and are already thinking, probably thanks to their parents,
‘Oh,nooooo.....not this sh*t again!”

and he keeps his perfect record of always, ALWAYS mentioning race and skin color. even in a boring five minute talkdown to grade schoolers it’s on the top of his mind.

LOL! WE’VE SEEN HIS TELEPROMPTER BREAK DOWN, RENDERING HIM UTTERLY SPEECHLESS! REMEMBER DURING THE CAMPAIGN (HAS IT EVER STOPPED?) WHEN HIS EARPHONE WENT OUT ON HIM? IF IT WERE COMEDY, CHARLIE CHAPLAIN COULDN’T BE FUNNIER. BUT HIS IDOLATORS UNFORTUNATELY OVERLOOKED THAT.
