It just illustrates the fact that Obama can't speak extemporaneously. He's an automaton, lost without his teleprompter. All you get is uh's and um's from the so-called smartest President ever. In fact, he's so dependent on TOTUS, that he'll actually thank himself at certain events, and mispronounce words without even noticing. He's an empty suit.

"Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small"

Nobody disagrees that politicians use teleprompters. And nobody disagrees that George Bush used a teleprompter. Again, from my source in this thread. "Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small"

Apparently the brilliant, well-schooled, and articulate President can't pronounce Orion correctly. YouTube Once again, his teleprompter has let him down.

Why does it matter? How about the same kind of warnings coming from France, Germany, China, and Russia?

It's just a desperate attempt at attention. Sorry King Hugo, but Obama has many things on his plate, you'll have to get your attention from somebody else. Try your buddies Putin, Castro, or Ahmadinejad for support.

EU presidency: US economic plans 'a way to hell' STRASBOURG, France (AP) -- A top European Union politician on Wednesday slammed U.S. plans to spend its way out of recession as "a way to hell." Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, whose country currently holds the EU presidency, told the European Parliament that President Barack Obama's massive stimulus package and banking bailout "will undermine the stability of the global financial market." AP Obviously not good when Europe is warning you of over-spending.

*Telepromtper update* Obama Upgrade: Teleprompters Swapped for Giant TV Monitor for News Conference Link It looks as though all of the teleprompter criticizim finally got to them, or at least enough to make them feel self-conscience about it. They decided to go with a large television monitor instead of the usual Obama teleprompter. Something tells me that TOTUS is going to be quite upset.

The Zogby poll isn't an online poll. But let's say we use the RCP avg in your link, at 59% instead of Zogby's 50%. So what? He's still dropping like a rock. So it isn't 50% now, but it will be in a month. Remember, the first few months of his Presidency will be the high water mark in terms of approval rating. It's all downhill from here. I'm suprised you don't know that.

This is a great new ad from the National Republican Senatorial Committee. YouTube I think now's the time to start hammering away. Obama's popularity has already begun to drop fast, and a constant barrage could sink him even further. And in the process, preventing some of his more radical leftwing policy proposals. Poll of change: Obama’s job approval slipping to ‘50-50’ The honeymoon is over, a national poll will signal today as President Obama’s job approval stumbles to about 50 percent over the lack of improvement with the crippled economy. The sobering numbers come as the president backpedals from two prime-time gaffes - one comparing his bowling score to a Special Olympian and another awkwardly laughing about the economy, which prompted Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” to ask “are you punch-drunk?” Pollster John Zogby said his poll out today will show Americans split on the president’s performance. He said the score factors out to “about 50-50.” Some polls show Obama coasting with a 65 percent job approval, but not in Zogby’s tally. “The numbers are going down,” Zogby told the Herald.

Unfortunately, long-term isn't 4 or 5 years from now, which also unfortunately, is the time-frame people are worried about. Graph of American Money Supply This chart accurately depicts a brazenly sudden and incomprehensible increase of 75% in the number of dollars floating about the U.S. economy. What took the Federal Reserve 23 years to accomplish until 2008 was literally replicated overnight. For every $100 that was in circulation, another $75 was added. And know it well: the consequences will be lasting Link

They still need to get rid of mark-to-market.

Well, we all got a great example of what happens when Obama's teleprompter isn't around. He ends up trying to be funny, and having to apologize to the Special Olympics because of it. Think of Obama's teleprompter as an American Express card. He shouldn't leave home without it! Also, I gave out the wrong blog address in a previous post. I'd like to correct my mistake. http://baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com/

Well, I have to give praise when praise is due. The Obama Administration, at least temporarily, has ceased its destruction of the economy, and has actually decided to address the primary economic problem, the financial sector. And it seems, so far, the market likes the plan. I'm glad they've finally decided, some 2 months into office, that they'd actually address the most pressing issue, instead of the litany of less significant or unrelated ones. Now if they'd just give up on the ridiculous cap-and-trade, and card-check programs, we might actually see an economic recovery. Keep your fingers crossed that Obama & Geithner finally see the light! And hopefully Obama looks at the market reaction, and concludes that when you stop attacking business, good things can happen.

I also vote case of beer.

Yeah, because nobody in a tough situation, or a tough childhood ever amounts to . So, if one's unfortunately born into a less than ideal situation, your solution is death? So adult alcoholics receive government money for treatment, but babies deserve nothing but their life terminated? Wow.

Remember when they were so concerned over W's $300- $400 billion dollar deficits? Obama budget projected at $9.3 trillion in next 10 years WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama's budget proposals, if carried out, would produce a staggering $9.3 trillion in total deficits over the next decade, much more than the White House has predicted, the Congressional Budget Office said on Friday.

Good point. They kind of remind me of Democrats in America, who when asked, refuse to admit that they're liberal. They like to go with "progressive" instead.

Exactly. We can't forget that it's Galloway's conduct that's ultimately in question, not the JDL, or any other crutch of bigots and racists.

You had stated that anyone on our soil benefits from the charter. I believe the appropriate response, as stated by Argus, was that he isn't on our soil. Seems pretty logical, what part of it are you having trouble following? Or perhaps, they're both right, and you're wrong.

Nice try. But it's not about his "thinking", it's about his doing. Like supporting terrorist organizations.

Is the year-long break they're referring to, related to just Afghanistan, or is it a year-long break in general? Because if it's a year-long break in general, then that's pretty pathetic. That being said, anyone who would post a clip from Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld, and claim that "Fox is belittling Canada" is pretty disingenuous. His show is not different than Realtime with Bill Maher, except there's no audience, and it airs at 2am.

If he's gonna support terrorist organizations, then he's got to live with the consequences. And why would he want to come to this disgusting western imperialistic country anyways? I'm sure he'd have a much better time in one of the many free and progressive countries in the middle east, like say Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran or Syria.

Our Prime Minister can be described many ways, even many negative ways, but goof isn't one of them. Well, you doubt wrong. Maria Shriver: Obama Special Olympics 'joke' hurts SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Maria Shriver says President Barack Obama's joke comparing his poor bowling score to that of a Special Olympics athlete was hurtful, although she is sure he didn't mean it that way. California's first lady issued a statement Friday, a day after the president made the gaffe on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Obama later called Maria's brother, Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver, to apologize. The siblings' mother, Eunice Kennedy-Shriver, founded the Special Olympics and has championed the rights of the mentally disabled. Maria Shriver says the reaction to Obama's joke shows there is still more work to do. She says laughing at such comments "hurts millions of people throughout the world." Shriver, a Democrat, supported Obama's presidential campaign. AP But I agree with some of the previous posters, that this is being blown way out of proportion. The delicious irony of it all, is the politically correct environment that liberalism has greatly contributed to, has claimed one of its own as a victim. You reap what you sow Barry.

Obama apologizes for remark After comparing his bowling to the Special Olympics on "The Tonight Show" Thursday, President Obama called Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver to apologize before the program even aired. “He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, in a way that was very moving,” Shriver said on ABC's “Good Morning America.” “It’s important to see that words hurt, and words do matter. And these words that in some respect can be seen as humiliating or a put-down of people with special needs do cause pain, and they do result in stereotypes." The president had been making an attempt at self-deprecating humor in his appearance on Jay Leno's show by saying that a recent 129 he scored in the White House bowling alley had been "like Special Olympics, or something." Politico Hey Barry, don't quit your day job! You're not a comedian you're a President, and so far you're just barely a better President than comedian.
