"Don't blame me."

I have been trying to solve Obama's telepromter dependancy. Diagnosis - the man has limited short term memory. So, in the spirit of being helpful to a fellow human being with a disability,(I have this same affliction and can understand how frustrating it is to overcome), I have spent 5 minutes on research. I Googled memory courses and can now (in all sincerity) recommend the ...... ......... Memory Course (don't want to get sued by some over zealous lawyer if this is a bust). This will exercise the President's brain - improve brain fitness levels and if he continues the simple training techniques (a graduate of Harvard should be able to follow instructions), he will be able to remember a speech in no time. If not, demand his money back, no questions asked.

I feel like I'm watching the Manchurian Candidate on TV every day.

Seems to me all he needs is one good University-level course on public speaking, like the one I took over 30 years ago (back when such courses were actually considered a good idea).  Lots of practise, loads of useful tips for strengthening your memory and helping you get over stagefright, brain farts and vapour-lock, etc.

Of course, the other problem is that The Big Owe needs to limit his public speaking appearances.  He ain't campaigning anymore — this is about governance now, not wowing the simpletons who voted for him.  With his speaking schedule, he doesn't have any time to pre-read his own prepared remarks, and I can guarantee he isn't writing the vast majority of his speeches anymore.

Or if he is, someone else is doing the governing behind the scenes.  Rahm Emanuel, perhaps?

No wonder his friends are Hollywood celebs. All make believe from scripts.

BTW:
Annette Benning was in Iran the other day: Negotiating for the White House!

Brad Pitt was with Nancy Pelosi yesterday in the White House: Working on some environment plan.

Like I predicted before the innoguration, the Obamas would be more preoccupied with image and celeb status than the pressing issues:
So far the white house has been almost a non stop party with events almost every night. They had Stevie Wonder performing, Earth wind and fire too...

In comparison it make me prouder every day that we got PMSH as a leader.

Like the humor of the 'streamlining the technology'. He could be 'of the special Olympics president'.

It is claimed that he's planning on having two-way communications, via an ear-bud, during press conferences, so as to allow his handlers to feed him instant boilerplate appropriate to the question.

Not to mention the degree to which the questions and the questioners are filtered in advance.

Goebbels would understand.

Silly me, all through the campaign I thought those were bulletproof shields, because of some wild threat.

Speaking of threat, prior to the elections in the States I had a convo with a nice older U.S. couple, Democrats both, who were going to vote for Obama but were convinced that he would be assassinated.

My take?  No way.  At the rate he's going, more like political suicide.  Makes me more convinced than ever that, after mid-terms next year, he'll be a lame duck, and ultimately a one-termer.

If the Republicans wanna take advantage of that, they'd better find themselves a credible leader tout de suite...

Did he have his teleprompter in Ottawa? Funny..our MSM wouldn't mention that....

Obviously he is being fed his lines.
All he has to do is be 'present'.

"Did he have his teleprompter in Ottawa? Funny..our MSM wouldn't mention that...."

It was painfully obvious he did'nt have it. PM Harper talking to the press compared to O was like Winston Churchill along side Snoop Dog.

He should just pre-record every speech then stand there looking like a dignified Dumbo while it plays. Questions can then be solicited en masse. Then he and his handlers can go to a mobile studio, edit out all but the easiest questions - record appropriate BS responses and then back to the audience to play the tape...

Brian M. How could you forget one of the most important details?

He could also sell those speeches and recorded answers to easy questions to the public, thus ensuring that he can still sell hope to his adoring fans.

You nailed it...creepy!

It was obvious that Obama's teleprompter was shipped to Iowa instead of Ottawa.
The Bot was nervous when doing his media stand with PMSH 'cause he knew that the PM was a consumate professional whereas he's a schill.
As for his meet with Moe (the cerebral stooge)...well he was right at home talking about beavertails.
No substance in those two..."move along folks;there's nothing to see."

The day O's music died.

Is this what is called "buyer's regret"?

"Having praised President Obama's job performance in two recent columns, it is with regret that I now worry that he may be...".

"The house is burning down. It's no time to be watering the grass."

But, Hope is not dead, yet:

"I still hold out hope that Obama is not irrevocably "casting his lot with collectivists and statists," as asserted by Peter Wehner, a former Bush aide and a leading conservative intellectual now with the Ethics and Public Policy Center, in Commentary magazine's blog Contentions."

Is that Hope = Fear?

"Obama's Left Turn
Centrists fear that the president's budget reveals his liberal leanings.

Having praised President Obama's job performance in two recent columns, it is with regret that I now worry that he may be deepening what looks more and more like a depression and may engineer so much spending, debt, and government control of the economy as to leave most Americans permanently less prosperous and less free.

Other Obama-admiring centrists have expressed similar concerns. Like them, I would like to be proved wrong. After all, if this president fails, who will revive our economy? And when? And what kind of America will our children inherit?"

What is it with these people saying "I hoped for something different?"
Obama is no surprise to most of us.
Were they sleeping for the past 2 years?
The only thing Obama has in common with Mike Harris is this:
HE DID WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO!!!

Call me a racist but I've yet to be inspired or moved by the “Great Orator”. IMO he is a terrible speaker, he sounds like a hockey player being interviewed between umm periods.

My analysis: Americans have short memories. After Bill Clinton the American people chose someone quite different, they were tired of the "salesman”. So they elected GWB, someone of action(see record in Texas on crime) not words, someone who wasn't smooth, cool or handsome. After 8 years, the Americans became tired of substance and truth, instead Americans wanted to be swept off their feet, you know, a fairy tale. At that point anything sounds better to the latte crowd than GWB; therefore, crowning the big OWE as the "great orator" was a given. It's all relative. Had BO been running against Reagan instead of Jimmy Carter, we wouldn't be so disillusioned regarding BO's oratory skills.

One other thing, BO's speeches are full of lofty feel good rhetoric, similar to that I would whisper in an attractive woman's ear. Everyone loves to be told how great they are, and for all intensive purposes this is what BO does. He tells people that agreeing with him means you are "good, compassionate, progressive, smart ect", and if you don’t you are “dumb, racist, cold ect” like GWB. After all, I'm more likely to like someone that makes me "feel" good(BO) instead of someone who is honest with me (Yes you do look fat in those jeans). IMO BO is a master at stroking the ego of those he's speaking to in order to get the preferred response.

Why the teleprompter? It's sooooo 2008. Just lip sync and be done with it.
It just tends to confirm my pre-election impressions. The US has Chauncey Gardiner for Pres.

IH... nowhere in your analysis do you say:Obama is lousy because he is black or negro.

Why would we call you racist?

If you recall from the campaign, he was dropping in the polls, and had had a particularly disastrous press conference, and then he was never let off the teleprompter again.

Time will catch up with this guy. Maybe they figured that the teleprompter would stop the stock market from dropping too.

Because I expect every Asian I meet to be able to "turn a radio into a wristwatch".

I love the ObamaPrompTer: laugh out loud funny! (And also to think how much he'd hate it. Boo hoo!)

Indiana Homez, what do you mean, GWB isn't handsome? I think he is! (I like Obama's clothes and neat appearance, but, otherwise, his looks leave me quite cold.)

And, silly me, I've NEVER found Obama's speeches lofty or feel good: I can't stand listening to or watching this phony. But lots of others disagree with me.

On Fox last night, Bill O'Reilly was discussing the non-sequitur that, even though Obama's policies are disturbing to a certain percentage (sorry, I can't remember the numbers) of voters, a far greater percentage—about 67%, I think—still think he's a great guy. Sheesh . . .

Get ready for more of this dangerous silliness. Facts mean nothing to most people these days. These brainwashed zombies care only for easy ideas that don't tax their emotions or fantasies: style over substance wins with these proles every time.

I'm with Rush: Obama's pushing socialism, so I hope he fails, big time. Whatever happens now, it's not going to be pretty. (I'm afraid I'm enjoying the schadenfreude of Obama's exposure as a dim witted impostor.)

Always thought you were a dude.

Generally I assume all dudes are ugly because they are IMO. I depend on swooning women to make that call, and I don't recall anyone saying that about GWB(until now). Actually, I just found out on this web site that PMSH is handsome. Who knew?

Betcha the Big 0 gets an implant!

Indiana, yup, I'm not a dude (!) and I think PMSH is handsome too--a very attractive looking fellow.

(Brad Pitt? Not so much . . . I sure don't find him attractive. And what's with that goofy hat? But he gets invited to meet Obama and company. Go figure.)

President Teleprompter announced today that.......

The big O inhaled way too frequently for too long. Hence no short-term memory...
