Ah! The big TV in the back! That explains why no teleprompter. If you watched his eyes you could see he was reading his speech. That together with the absence of uhhs, umms, and you knows confirmed he did have assistance.
Did you hear the arrogance: Point #1, Point #2 and so on. Then on just about every tough question, he began his response by blaming Bush/someone else. Then he stated he inherited a $1.3T annual budget deficit form Bush? Huh? WHERE did that number come from? Did the teleprompter make it up?
Robert, I am going to ask you politely not to call it the Teleprompter..it is officially the TOTUS or Teleprompter Of The United States Of America. Please show some respect for the office it holds..I added the seal in the post so you could see I am not joking..If it has a seal, it must be real..right?
P.S. My stomach hurts from holding in the laughter when I typed that
Bwaaa ha ha ha ha!!! LMAO! TOTUS!!! Ain’t it the truth? Now it turns out not only was the TOTUS actually presenting last night, but the press questions were known in advance so the TOTUS reader wouldn’t stumble too badly, at least any more than niormal, with the answers!
Bwaaa ha ha ha ha!!!
…and they said Bush was inarticulate, couldn’t speak…
You know, given the reality, it is quite appropriate to stop even refwerrign to the Presdient, to Obama. Just say “the TOTUS’. Thats’ because the President is not much more than a reader, like the MSM newsreaders we see on TV every night. They don’t write and typicaly don’t understand what they read. They just deliver it.
Just like the Messiah…
I would pay money to see a reporter turn and ask the TOTUS a question! Then, and only then, would my faith in the MSM be restored!
Being that the TOTUS apparently is actually in charge, and Mr. BHO just does the reading, just articulates what the TOTUS provides, I propose that Mr. BHO be given a suitable official designation that more closely reflects his actual function, which is Reader of the TOTUS.
RTOTUS? Does that work? Not sure…
