Irish prime minister Brian Cowen repeats Barack Obama speech as White House teleprompter fouls up | guardian.co.uk — This whole teleprompter thing may as well be replaced by lip sync-ing.
But when Brian Cowen began his address last night, his speech had a horribly familiar ring to it. And no wonder: he had been repeating exactly what Obama had said minutes earlier.
The autocue was apparently the cause of this embarrassing case of deja vu. Rather than being ready with Cowens speech, the teleprompting machine simply reloaded the one Obama had just given.
Cowen was around 20 seconds into the wrong speech before he realised his gaffe. He stopped suddenly and looked back at the president to say: “Thats your speech.”

It is already a proven fact. And, the media is pretty silent. So much for your theory…

Alfred, what were you in 2001….12 years old??
Because otherwise you must certainly recall that Bush, like every other president, got a pass on his goof-ups for a while. But when it turned out that he was a complete goof-up all the time, parts of the press let him have it. If Obama turns out to be as complete a dumbass as Bush, we’ll all know about it. There will be no “media conspiracy of silence” Sheesh.
Get off it already.
I don’t recall Bush getting any breaks from the media…and he is NOT a dumb ass…that is a media myth…contradicted not only by his actions in office…but also as Governor of Texas…
The media did the same to Palin…
BUT they are not willing to report the truth about Obama, fearing the TRUTH he is a dumb ass will come out.
Its a lefty myth loons are smart…they are just irrational…unwilling to allow facts and reality affect their opinions…and in lefty circles, that is considered “nuanced…complex.”
Its only disingenuous.
TOTUS will have Obama slip up again, hopefully it will be where the US Media cannot censor the event, and all will see how mindless our teleprompter Reader in Chief can be…while delivering an otherwise flawless speech.
The latest. O’Mama makes fun of Special Olympics participants while on Leno’s show. What an insensitive moran.
Stick to the Teleprompter.
