Love it!

They literally havenothing else to latch onto.  Let them have it.  It’s comparable to the passengers of the Titanic left with waterwings…with a slow leak.

They utterly ignore the fact that every single other politician in a leadership position uses them, not to mention every serious Republikid candidate.  I mean I could see if he was eloquent with the teleprompter and then became a stumbling bumbling idiot when it came to answering questions in a press conference.  But he comprehensively answers multi-layered questions and follow-ups like the press secretary everyone wish they had.  The tone deafness continues on, the confusion with me is, do they realize that they are only piling-up their tone deafness points and just soldier on knowing they’ve got nothing of substance against him or are they really afflicted with an unprecedented level of oblivious stupidity?

They don’t invent or create anything of use, so what else is their in your life outside of wack-ass memes and taxcut turrets?

do they realize that they are only piling-up their tone deafness points and just soldier on knowing they’ve got nothing of substance against him or are they really afflicted with an unprecedented level of oblivious stupidity?

I’m gonna go with choice b.

And, Kevin, continuing your point up there, if any of them have to address a gathering or give a speech of any kind it has to be hand written on yellow lined paper.

I hear the thump thump of kitties under the bus wheels.

“back up, you missed one!”

As usual SteveM nails it ...

DEEP THOUGHT

People say the Vienna Philharmonic is such a great orchestra, but how good can the musicians be if every time they perform they have to use sheet music as a crutch?

And, Kevin, continuing your point up there, if any of them have to address a gathering or give a speech of any kind it has to be hand written on yellow lined paper.

Umm, uhh, why is that, umm funny? I don’t go anywhere without my pad of yellow lined paper. Sheesh, does this make me a member of the Bachmann Turns Her Overdrive fan club?

how about they just do the bus part first?

Yes and they should get rid of them there new fangled microphone thingys and stick with a bullhorn like regular folks, that’s the ticket. 

Actually I was watching Morning Joe the day after the presser and Joe Scarborough (believe it or not) said something to the effect of he is smart to be using the teleprompter for the presser preamble and he wishes that GWB had used it more during the last eight years.

They have it all wrong.  The teleprompters are a ruse so we don’t really discover there is a mind control device implant

I personally think the president should take time away from working to make the best decisions on policies that affect the fate of the entire world to memorize prepared remarks.  sounds like a pretty good allocation of time.

Humboldt LOL and I’ve been know to withdraw cash from banks during business hours from actual human beings on more than one occasion.  But if we’re going back to the dark ages before teleprompters . . .

They literally have nothing else to latch onto.  Let them have it.

Nailed it. The next four to eight years will be the the 2008 election on a non-stop loop.

Wheeeee!

And enough of this uh, uh, let me think before I speak stuff. When he goes off the teleprompter, he thinks, right there in front of us. It’s obscene.

You folks are missing the fun happen on the latest Wonkette post. Troll or not, good times are being had by all.

This is classic Karl Rove.  Attack your enemy on his strengths.  They know that Obama is smart, articulate, and a powerful and persuasive public speaker.  Therefore, they attack him as being nothing of the sort and dependent on teleprompters to communicate.

When someone brings up teleprompter, just inform them that you recognize the Rovian strategy of attempting to turn Obama’s strength into a weakness and you’re not buying it, and ask them if they have any substantive criticism of the actual address.

I’m a whore.  A dirty whore.
