It seems like many of the people at the White House have such arrogance that they do not consider the image they are conveying with this sort of thing. Its very embarrassing when they constantly give the impression that our President is just a glorified teleprompter reader.

"Would you like a president?
You didn't say I could have a real one. "

LOL! Beautiful.

The One looks like he's watching a tennis match there. The kids should ask if they can have a "cheat sheet" too next time they have to do a presentation.

If this is the "best and brightest" the Democrats have...
Be afraid... Be very afraid.

But on the bright side, it proves he can read...

tbh..whats your problem with teleprompters?

im sure you would learn all your speeches

he have to make alot of speeches so who cares if he use a hand written lil paper or a prompter?

The issue is he uses teleprompters for just about everything. And without them he falters badly. Its like he is reading a script and without it, he forgets what he really thinks. He always is spoken of as this amazing communicator and speech giver, but its all fake. Someone else writes the speech and he performs it. Go watch that video above when his teleprompter went out mid speech and he turns into Bush instantly

I swear the Obama bashing never ends. If the worst he can do is read from teleprompter to a bunch of kids, then I'm fine with him. At least he wasn't sitting there listening to them read while NYC burned!!!

Obama is a well spoken, poised and confident individual... you really can't say much about his presence & competence, so you joke about the teleprompter.


Bush had a teleprompter and still made an ass of himself.

Obama gaffe: "I think I've been to about.. eh, 57 states"


Bush Gaffe: "I believe human beings and fish can coexist peacefully"

Bush Gaffe: "In my state of.. erm.. my state of the union, or state.. my speech to the.... nation.. or whatever you want to call it, my speech to the nation."

Get the drift?

The great communicator, Harvard Scholar and constitutional expert should be able to give an off the cuff speech to Sixth Graders and at the very least he should be able to handle himself when his prompters take a dump on him.

Obama's words are carefully provided to him by his team of speech writers. Which is common, however, his knowledge should be sufficient enough to perform without the prompters.
