Teleprompter to Obama: "Who's the Beyatch Now?"



In a recent Politico article, it seems that Barrack's teleprompter is attempting to sabotage our new president. I would argue that if the president would learn how to formulate and speak his own words, he wouldn't have this problem. Maybe I'm "out of the norm".

Seriously, I think the way his teleprompter treats him is symbolic of how his perception is of how Americans should be treated.

Hear me out....

I am of the view that someone of Obama's stature and education should be able to hold a speech without the absolute crutch of having a teleprompter or some other mental cue of what the heck your talking about. But, who can really memorize whole speeches and your internal beliefs and stuff? If I was Obama, I would use this vulnerability as an illustration that even the President of the U.S.A. is not infallible to the pitfalls inherent of being a mere human being. To continue, he should use this to paint a complete picture that "since the president isn't even capable of forming his own words and speech, far be it for you, a mere peasant in our big world of confusing economic times, to form your own thoughts and decisions of your future, your money, and the well being of the United States."

No, like the banking, housing, and economic crises, the White House should look at Barrack's inability to speak as an opportunity to tell Americans how fallible we are. This is the perfect time for the new administration to tell Americans how ineffectual we ALL are. "He's only a man, we're only a country".

So my question to Barrack would be, when will the teleprompter give our country a positive direction? And when will the teleprompter be promoted to President Czar?

Why doesn't the media fairly cover Obama?



Here's video of the great Obama's oratory skills when he happens to be without his teleprompter. That's well and good. Personally myself, I've blundered and babbled exactly like this in front of people, so I understand his embarrassment at being unable to make a point due to nerves, unpreparedness, lack of rest, or whatever. There's a bigger story here than just Obama's trouble speaking when missing the prompter.

Why isn't the mainstream media covering this? They loved picking on Bush and would have taken every opportunity to do so. It's absolutely disgusting the slant of coverage on Obama and his administration. There are small cracks and fissures here and there, but organizations like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN are all reluctant to air anything critical of the president. There are so many things to take to task, but the major news orgs won't ask anything. And it's not just about the teleprompter.

Why isn't he asked more about the economy? The administration throws out phony-baloney comments about how health care will do it and the road construction....ad naseum. But, never is it asked specifically why the things that caused this recession are not being addressed RIGHT NOW! They just give him a pass. Is it his presence? Can we not question the president intelligently? It seems like the Twilight Zone at how he's being treated. So I ask the media, when will someone step up and ask the good questions?
