Obama Gets Serious: Hilarity Ensues

Well, this pretty much cements what's been becoming the conventional wisdom on Obama. Can you imagine the press conferences this guy would do if elected? And don't even get me started about some breaking crisis. "Mr. President, what do you think about the situation in xyz?"

Um, give me a second, folks. Wait until the teleprompter is set-up! Geesh! I wonder if the MSM will provide him one for the coming debates?

(CNN) — It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.

"Can you imagine the press conferences this guy would do if elected?"

Would he stutter like the Slingblade guy like your leader does? Mumble wide-eyed like the senile "GREAT Communicator"?

On a related note, Mrs Bob had the Today Show on today and that little old gnome was on talking about how the fundamentals of the economy are strong b/c American workers are the BEST in the world. What a sad little bugger he is. Is that the best you patriots can come up with?

What do you expect from the Affirmative Action Candidate?

Gee, BOB, I am sorry to hear that you are out of a job and, at the same time, have taken a salary reduction and lost money in the stock market (this year only). Obama and that ugly-mugged movie leading man, Matt Damon, feel your pain. But don't worry, that $23K+ per plate fund raising dinner Babs and friends are attending in H'wood should help you out. Oh? It isn't fund raising for anything but spreading more lefty propaganda? Never mind.

"Would he stutter like the Slingblade guy like your leader does?"

Speaking of stuttering, Boob, what kind of sentence is that? As for Obama, I'm wondering if he could put a sentence together without the teleprompter. I think I'll buy some stock in companies that make teleprompters, just in case the terrorist supporter Obama fraudulantly wins. That way I will become a millionaire before Xerxes(Obama) is deposed.

Don't worry Boob our troops are keeping you and your wife safe.
Go Johnny Mac. Go Sarah. North to Alaska! McCain/Palin 2008.

I uh, don't uh, need uh, no uh, stinking uh, telepropter!

[jaime]

Please. I could link you to dozens of youtube videos with Obama speaking fluidly without a teleprompter. That's something you could easily look up yourself.

You can also look up videos of McCain reading speeches directly off of cue cards.

Or Sarah Palin giving the exact same speech, using the exact same hand gestures, inflection, and rythyms, over and over again. "Thank's but NO Thanks" "Snow Machine" bla bla bla. And this is you're next a potential President (after McCain drops dead before his term is out) is such a coward, she had to postpone an interview with Sean Hannity, because her handlers didn't teach her enough Econ 101, yet.

Uh, thank you, uh....um....uh...jaime...uh, now how much....uh....did I pay....uh, let me...see...uh...you...uh...um too..say...that? Well, it...it...was...too...um...uh...much.

"--- she had to postpone an interview with Sean Hannity, because her handlers didn't teach her enough Econ 101, yet. ---"

To hear you say it, Jimmy-jammy-poos... one would think that you are starting to respect Mr. Hannity as a balanced interviewer who would not think about tossing Ms. Palin a softball interview.

That's right good of you.
