Greg Allen says:

This meme needs a BS meter.

I’ll guess that his event was being televised and the classroom was just a backdrop.

The “Obama needs a teleprompter” is pure right wing projection.

It is the CONSERVATIVES who prefer their leaders pretty-but-dumb — Reagan, Bush. Palin all absolutely need to have their words scripted for them. Too often, when they went off-script, these conservative heroes LITERALLY made no sense.

We’ve seen Obama speak unscripted a zillion times now, and he’s informed and articulate.

… well, except the low-information conservatives who swallow and repeat what Fox tells them, rather than bothering to inform themselves.

I know you can’t accept that a black man is hellofalot smarter than YOU, your friends and your guru Fox pundits but Obama really is that smart.

PS: And don’t bother posting any of your stupid links to YouTube of some 3-second clip of Obama saying something that SEEMS dumb but makes perfect sense if you watch that actual talk.

“We’ve seen Obama speak unscripted a zillion times now, and he’s informed and articulate.”

Except for that whole “The police acted stupidly thing” that he said at his last news conference which was, what, last July??

Oh, and that whole deal where he went to a fund raiser and said that conservatives were folks who ‘clung’ to their religion and their guns because they were so ‘bitter’.

Depends on your politics if you want to accentuate the goofy stuff or not.

As for the issue at hand – the teleprompter at the elementary school – it may be totally logical to have a teleprompter handy to deal with the press.

Gotta admit it looks kinda silly, though.

#23 Say what you want about his politics, but it’s nice to have a president who you can remember a couple of times said tactless things. As opposed to a president who has books and websites dedicated to the countless strange and incomprehensible things he’s said.

Dr Dodd says:

If the Obamanation had not been sold to the people as a great orator this episode probably would have gone unnoticed. As it turns out it stands out much like Dallas’s lips on Obama’s butt.

Great orator? Just another lie that is Barack Hussein Obama. Barry to some.

LotsaLuck says:

Have lefties no sense of humor when it involves their own?

It wasn’t that long ago the the leftie blogosphere was full of images of Bush walking arm-in-arm with some Saudi bigwig.

So yeah, we takes it and we gives it.

It’s the political game, son.

Oh, and I imagine that in a few years there *will* be plenty of books and websites full of goofy Obama quotes.

Phydeau says:

#29 Ah, sheeple never disappoint. Always bringing lousy apologies but always fencing with reality.

Translation: OK, they got us on this one. Spit out some nonsense verbiage and wait until the next opportunity to rant and rave about Obama.

Funny how he skews left even in photos. HAR!

Rabble Rouser says:

Poor photoshop job. Shadow for Obama and his body guard, but none for the teleprompt stuff.

How stupid do these people think we are?

And where’s Obama’s shadow from the light behind him? I see the speaker shadow. The man is without substance.

Come on, Dodd! At least he don’t talk with no “Negro dialect”!!! Unless he wants to, of course.
