Sad. Obama Brings TelePrompter to Speak to 6th Grade Class
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, January 24, 2010, 7:17 PM
Obama spoke to 6th Graders in Falls Church, Virginia on Tuesday January 19, 2010.
He brought his TelePrompter.
He sure wouldn’t want to go off message when speaking to 6th graders.
How sad.
UPDATE: HotAirPundit says the TelePrompters were set up in the classroom for the press not the kids.

He can’t help himself, he’s merely an empty suit without an original thought between those ears of his. America has herself a sock puppet for a President!

http://www.daylife.com/search?q=obama+Graham+falls+church
Obama appears to be in two rooms… the floor coverings are different. One has cream tile and stools, the other has blue carpet and the podium with teleprompters — which is kind of suspicious EXCEPT the chalkboards have totally different designs on them, plus the globes and USA flags are in different places in the two rooms. Looks real, he just visited two rooms, one of which had a podium and teleprompter.
Eric P. Hartfield commented:
Was the telepromptor for the question and answer portion? You know those kids will be told to ask the darnedest things!
Robert commented:
Looks like he has the speakers there
to sound all echo-y and omniscient.
In the 6th grade classroom.
AnnS commented:
This is so spooky to me; aside from the fact he has no public speaking skills. (Maybe he should attend Toastmasters Club)
To make it short; the False Prophet:
Rev 13: 15 He (False Prophet) was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak…..
Rev 13: 1 (The Beast) He had 10 horns and seven heads with ten crowns on his horns….(probably a coalition of countries, during the 7 year tribulaton,joined together that derives their power from Satan.)
Gets really complex and tons of study.

LisaGinNZ commented:
Good spotting Down with Dems… I wonder why 2 rooms? TOTUS is there to give a canned script…errr….speech perhaps for media? parents?
The Q&A with kids in separate room & with secret service guy next to him (just in case a kid has a weapon?) – probably covered stuff without media there…
Weird… but of course, everything Bigears McSpendypants does is weird, scripted by handlers…
Damn, when will this regime end so life can be semi-normal again…
After a year of all this crap, feeling downright conspiratorial and paranoid-ical… ya know?!!!

Was he there to promote the “fistgate” agenda. At least he wore a tie this time.
Daniel commented:
down with dems,
That was my first concern when someone pointed me to this article earlier. I thought perhaps it was photoshopped material.
But now, …
This is just too much. And pitiful.
I feel sorry for those kids – having to be subjected to this, this, … crapola.
hammer commented:
imagine if one of the kids yelled out “YOU LIE”
Django commented:
The text on the teleprompter: My Pet Goat
Mark Jessup commented:
This is pathetic. Even Kevin Kline in the movie “Dave” (playing a presidential celebrity look-a-like who is pressed into service when the real President has a stroke) was more authentic and believable than THIS.
I believe it is entirely possible that when 0bama was in whatever hospital nursery he was born into, that over the crib were two chalkboards with the following words: “wah” and “wah”.
TaSS commented:
First room defintely doesn’t look like a 6tth grade room with a story mat in it. Even the 2nd room looks young taking into account the art hanging on the walls.
I can’t imagine either of those rooms were big enough to warrant three speakers and when you are addressing young kids, do you really need a podium?
Gotta go see if I can find some video to see what he was saying that made a teleprompter necessary. Maybe he was looking for support for his health plan.
starboardhelm commented:
Aww, widdle ZerObama can’t talk wiffout his tele-binky.
TaSS commented:
Race to the Top
Ok, doesn’t look as if the kids were actually there.
He was just using their classroom as a backdrop.
Much like he uses our military, for a good photo op.
Ozwitch commented:
The prompters don’t look right. Much as I’d love to believe this, they look at the wrong angle and seem too high. I’m darned sure I couldn’t read what is on them.
Somebody tell me I’m wrong.

Ozwitch: prompters up a little bit high so Obummers can do his chin lift bit?
Clyde Mertz commented:
To paraphrase the classic remark by Dennis Miller. President Obama would need his teleprompter to take an eye test.
Misterdregs commented:
The speakers are monitors so he can hear himself. I can’t imagine why you would need those in a classroom sized space.
If this isn’t photoshopped I can’t imagine a pol who can’t speak off the cuff to a class of grade schoolers. And to recall how they mocked Reagan over his index cards.
Pathetic.

In the room with no rug, he was doing a meet-and-greet with the sixth graders. In the room with the blue rug, he was delivering his prepared remarks about the “Race to the Top” program.

The teleprompters are at the correct heighth and angle for his nibs to use them. The dais elevates him; and he keeps his head up (nose in the air) anyway. They’ve been set like that for him in other pix that I’ve seen. (I thought the same thing as you at first – but they’re always that way.)

[The administration has not determined yet how many states will share the $4.35 billion. So far, 11 states have moved to change laws or policies that might undermine their chances of winning, the administration officials said.
Governor Deval Patrick signed a law Monday aiming to expand the number of high-quality charter schools within Massachusetts. Tennessee and Illinois also have loosened charter school restrictions.
Charter schools, which are backed by Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, operate under contracts with school districts and are exempt from certain state and local regulations that govern traditional public schools.]

No, he’s not a false prophet.
He’s just a dumb-ass.

annie commented:
The fact that he would need TOTUS for an ordinary day trip to a school is evidence of his lack of sincerity and conviction of the words this man speaks. Never forget, he was ready from day one and was going to hit the ground running…courtesy of the Office Of The Precedent Elect….

Ellie Spivey commented:
I, and many others, have seen a great deal of change in the economy and how we are perceived abroad in the last year. And let’s remember that being president is not an easy job and no matter your political persuasion, the office deserves our utmost respect and especially our deference to his decisions given that we can’t all be privy to the volume of information the president deals with every day.
Beto commented:
So what exactly is he afraid of saying wrong?

Hoot Gibson commented:
Obama was speaking to a group of adults using the teleprompter to deliver a 5-minute speech. There is a Youtube video where he points to the audience and comments about how cute they look in the little chairs. The teleprompter is clearly visible as he walks into the room.
On the same trip, Obama and the Sec. of Education chatted with a group of 6th graders and sat on stools. It may have been a different part of the same room but I did not see the teleprompters.
What is sad is that I found the notion that Obama used a teleprompter to speak to 6th graders very credible. However, a little more research should be done before this kind of charge goes viral. It is only a matter of time before liberals ridicule conservative blogs for running this little story.
Dathi commented:
Take it easy, everyone…..Obama spoke in two rooms. The room with TOTUS was where he spoke to the press afterwards.
Still funny though…..
merle commented:
now I am no fan of his but if this is real……
I suddenly feel sorry for him.
okay, i’m done.
marie commented:
He is now officially a caricature of himself.
Cargosquid commented:
The teleprompter brought him.
merle commented:
no matter if he spoke with adults in another room…..how many could the room have held?
he really needed the teleprompter? What happened to a simple piece of paper and a little preparation? Bringing all that equipment probably cost the taxpayers ten thousand bucks.
Hoot Gibson commented:
merle,
You are right, it is bad enough that he has to use a teleprompter to speak to a small room of adults. There is no need to take the focus off of that pitiful fact by accusing him of using TOTUS to speak to 6th graders.
vargas commented:
The teleprompter was his version of “phone a friend” in case one of these snot nosed 6th graders asked him how to spell “corrupt” or “spineless” …..or “obamacare”
JD commented:
Just how fleeping flipperdom dumb IS that critter?
Every time I think I have him pegged he does something even more incompetent.

annie commented:
The point is….he goes practically NOWHERE without it!! You have got to be kidding me! This is the most intellectual and elegant orator of our time??? They bashed President Bush non-stop for his use of the English language, accused him of being a moron, ridiculed his dialect 24/7!!!! I would much rather have a sincere man leading our country than the vapid cardboard cutout we have now who is incapable of speaking from the heart!!!!
Danae commented:
Well at least President Bush could talk to 3rd graders with out TOTUS….. In fact, he could hear that America was under attack by insane Muslim Murderers, and manage not only NOT to panic the kids or the staff, but actually act calmly enough to lead the Nation with out a teleprompter.
To all you morons who voted for this joker, WAKE THE HELL UP AND DON’T EVER BUY THE HOPE/CHANGE BS AGAIN!!!!!
Westin commented:
now I am no fan of his but if this is real……
I suddenly feel sorry for him.
Don’t. He’s a lying control freak who fought for this job for two straight years so that he could transform the U.S. into a hideous, Third World cesspool of peons, ruled by he and his cohorts.
He deliberately tanked the stock market after Scott Brown won, because he’s furious at us for rejecting his stupid plans. Don’t feel sorry for him. He’s an anti-American wannabe tyrant. His goal is to lower our standard of living in order to teach us a lesson. He wants to make us eat crow for proclaiming ourselves a great people.
He’s Jeremiah Wright, Jr.

In fact you and the rest of your Obamacargo cult are still doing so in the vain attempt to shield you from the reality that your tin god Obamamessiah is everything that you spent the last nine years claiming President Bush was and worse.
Well, TFB honey! You guys sure can dish it out but can’t take it, which is not surprising.

Barack Obama Brings His Teleprompters to Speak to a Class of Sixth Graders
Update II: Dan Reihl has an update that takes a lot of the humor out of the photo. A commenter left this nugget of information on Dan’s post (emphasis mine):
What is even more disturbing than the need to whip TOTUS out to talk to school kids is the purpose of Obama’s visit to that school. He was announcing his desire to put billions more into his program “Race to the Top” (RttT in Obamaland cutespeak) and also create a means for school districts to bypass the authority of their State Boards of Education in order to apply for federal RttT funds. What is so disturbing about this? One of the requirements of winning this federal grant money is that local school districts must contractually agree to adopt federal curriculum guidelines, even those that have not yet been defined by the Obama Administration. Yup….the federal core curriculum issue rears its ugly head again. Obama created the local school district bypass to these federal dollars in response to Rick Perry’s decision for Texas to opt out. Obama can’t stand Perry and the State of Texas….and was not about yield the chess board. Posted by: riograndevalleygirl | Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 10:41 PM

Sixth grader: My name is Michelle and I don’t like ACORNs.
0bama to teacher: What school is this? Oh, never mind there all the same and filled with crappy kids.
0bama: Hi Van. You’re very chubby for an Asian kid. Would you please give me your lunch money so that I can re-distribute it?
Sixth grader: My name is Tran and no speak much English. No money to give you. Why you wear white powder on your face?
0bama: Tran, you need a wedgie from Kevin Jennings. I bet that was your mom’s SUV blocking my Limousine’s path. Now give me your lunch money – or bend over for Kevin – you little brat.
Oh, what the use! These kids are little right wing brats who don’t swindle easily. This photo op is going down the toiled faster than my ratings. Let’s move the First grade room with the teleprompter, the alphabet book and the globe positioned to show Washington DC.
Ah, this is better. Two teleprompter screens, speakers and no crappy kids. I feel right at home speaking to my friends from the MSM without any real people. Please keep with protocol give me Softball questions only – unless you also would like a wedgie. Make them short and easy. My Limousine is running and I have a meeting with Barney Frank.

Those kids are doomed.
bdn commented:
Chisum’s comments are correct. What Arne and Zero are saying and trying to do with the education of this country is frightening. This is a link to an article from the Chicago (Obama) Tribune: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/education/chi-renaissance-2010-17-jan17,0,3877012.story
The last two Chicago School Board Presidents, Rufus Williams and Michael Scott, have their own set of federal and state problems. Well, maybe not Scott because he shot himself in the head a few weeks ago. Almost all of Duncan’s brilliant ideas for the Chicago Public Schools have been dismal failures and now these same policies might soon be foisted on the whole county. Check out Arne’s credentials/CV too. Chilling information.

If you think no child should be lured/bribed back to school by promoting “Birthday Sex,” read the article. It is a funny read but was written to raise awareness of what passes for “education,” Chicago style, coming soon to a school district near you.

Excerpt from Congress Votes to Outsource Presidency to India:
A Congressional spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh may not be fully aware of all the issues involved in the office of President, this should not be a problem as Obama had never been familiar with the issues either.
Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree that will enable him to respond effectively to most topics of concern. Using these canned responses, he can address common concerns without having to understand the underlying issue at all. “We know these scripting tools work,” stated the spokesperson.
“Obama* has used them successfully for years, with the result that some people actually thought he knew what he was talking about.”
* Used for President Bush first – but applies to both!

But then you don’t really care about whether you are a big fat liar, do you?
As long as you can preach and teach hate.
Reggy commented:
Don’t believe the hype people.
Here’s what is true. Obama did bring teleprompters along for his Jan. 19 visit to Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va. They were set up in a classroom where the president made a statement to reporters about expanding his Race to the Top program to improve schools. That happened after he chatted with the sixth-graders in a separate classroom — with no teleprompters.

Isn’t talking to the press alot like talking to first graders?
Even more ridiculous that one would need a teleprompter.
Ralph commented:
Greetings! First off, the teleprompters were NOT for speaking to the children. Those were in another room and set up for a press conference. Secondly, I doubt that his illustrious predecessor could even read the words on his teleprompters! Give me strength!? How you people can compare an intelligent speaker such as this President to the likes of the bafoon we suffered under for EIGHT YEARS is beyond me!

Obama is a fraud..and the people who voted for him are even more bogus.
He should be impeached for not complying with the request to produce his original birth certificate. Why is he fighting all the lawsuits in Courts across America? Sounds like a big waste of precious $$$, doesn’t it?
george commented:
At least, Pres. Bush spoke from his heart and never needed a teleprompter. Obama is the first one to rely on it. Ever listen to him off the cuff? He’s obnoxious and arrogrant. What a pity that he’s our leader. I’ll take George Bush back in a heartbeat. We were SAFE under him since 9/11.
Jeff commented:
Hi, I was almost taken in as many of you were, but upon further investigation, I found that the teleprompter was set up for a press conference, and that Obama talked with kids in another room. See it here:

As much as I dislike Obama’s policies, we have to honest, lest we look like idiots when the truth comes out. I suggest a retraction.
God bless

oh good grief keep that fool away from the children please! i’m more worried about the touchy feely goodie redistribution BS that he’s feeding into their sponge-like minds. Actually, please, come to my son’s class. 1. he’d laugh at the teleprompter and 2. he would start asking better questions than the press ever has. 3. he’d ask why does he think it’s ok to leave him with a debt and make him pay off for what other people should be paying for themselves.

For anyone who might be “taken in” by “Jeff” (#143) — he’s called a “concern troll.”
Note the pleasantry, “Hi”, before he calls you an idiot — and the “God bless” as he finishes his mendacious post.
The biggest lie is that he dislikes BO’s policies. It’s the very reason he’s trolling this site and others run by conservatives.
This administration and all those who still work for them peddle lies 24/7. The ones with any brains – or heart – have fled the insanity.

Jan. 25) — President Barack Obama needs a teleprompter even when he’s talking to children.
Conservative bloggers are gleefully spreading this story, saying photos prove their claim that Obama always needs a script.
A few examples:
Gateway Pundit: Sad: Obama Brings Teleprompter to Speak to 6th Grade Class
Moonbattery: What Kind of Idiot Needs a Teleprompter to Talk to Sixth Graders?
Riehl World View: Is This Obama’s Pet Goat Moment?
It’s red meat for the president’s critics. The only problem is, it’s not true.
Here’s what is true. Obama did bring teleprompters along for his Jan. 19 visit to Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va. They were set up in a classroom where the president made a statement to reporters about expanding his Race to the Top program to improve schools. That happened after he chatted with the sixth-graders in a separate classroom — with no teleprompters.

President Barack Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan visited students in Falls Church, Va., Jan. 19 … The White House Press Office told AOL News on Monday — and photos confirm — that there were two separate events in different rooms. Here’s how The Financial Times’ Anna Fifield described the visit in her pool report:
The President and Secretary Duncan spent about 20 minutes taking questions from the children (out of pool’s earshot). … They then came into the brightly-decorated — “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Look at the letters we know in this room!” — classroom next door to make remarks on Race to the Top.
“You guys look really cute in those chairs,” the president said when he entered the room to find the news photographers sitting in chairs meant for very small children.
Kristoffer Tripplaar, Pool/Getty Images
… then the president went to a separate classroom at Graham Road Elementary School, where teleprompters were set up, to make a statement to reports.Video posted on sites such as Right Pundits as evidence of Obama’s alleged teleprompter dependence actually shows the journalists, not students, in those little chairs. Another piece of official White House video shows the president entering a different room and meeting with children. (Click to watch)
Some bloggers posted updates backing off the original story slightly, but still ridiculed the president for using the teleprompter to make brief remarks to the media.
“We’re talking about giving a prepared statement and answering a few questions here, not the Gettysburg Address,” said a post on Ace of Spades HQ.
JammieWearing Fool, one of the blogs that helped spread the misleading picture, grudgingly acknowledged in an update that Obama used the teleprompter to speak to reporters, not kids — but took this parting shot:
“What’s the difference between a bunch of sixth-graders and his adoring White House press corps? Answer: Sixth-graders have more credibility.”

It’ll still be entirely pointless, but at least it’ll be somewhat civil in tone.

This back biting childish sniping has got to stop. if you can’t contribute something positive shut the $%%# up and grow up. If you are better than this guy show it by being an adult yourself.
John commented:
The teleprompter was there for a speech given to reporters – not to speak to the children – why can’t people bash for real reasons instead of this crap. I am a Republican who is sick of the negativism of my party.
stephanie commented:
I voted for him and I’m now ready for the CHANGE he promised. A change to a new President! Ohhh, you mean that’s not what he mean’t?? Well, that’s what I mean! Get his inexperienced a$$ out of there and somebody in who can get this Country back on the right track!

The media only tells the people what it wants us to know…..so very sad….this is how this person got into office….the media pushed it and told people what they wanted to hear….
stephanie commented:
John,
what you said in your post is very typical of those of your “PARTY” My comments are not mean’t in a demeaning way but I think it’s time we totally forget PARTIES and focus on the betterment of this Country no matter the Party. Loyalty to a Party can make us too forgiving of things that really shouldn’t be forgiven or tolerated. Doesn’t matter to me what Party a candidate is representing. . . I’ve never voted strictly along Party lines but based on the candidate, what he stands for and what he can bring to the office.
Should we allow ANYTHING to come before concern for our Country, I don’t think so.

Sara Ashby commented:
I just have to say, this is quite misleading. He’s actually talking to the press in this picture and he talked to the kids seperately sitting on a stool with the vice president. I did chuckle, but it’s not really true. Here’s the actual clip…

Martin commented:
He used the teleprompter to speak to the media, he didn’t use it to talk to the kids. Everyone that calls our president stupid is obviously not very smart if they can’t tell the difference between the kids and the journalists. My guess is actually that all those pundits are smart and they know they’re lying. They laugh at your stupidity in believing them. They’re manipulating you and you don’t even know it.
bobjimflys commented:
Barack is truly addicted to the telepromter, absolutely has no confidence at all. I know, I know, it is all George W Bush’s fault. Barack is such a funky Putz. May God have mercy on the United States of America and all of its Citizens. thank you
Jeff commented:
Is Obama now trying to create ways to drive his populairty down at lighting speed? When politicians need props to talk to kids ( 6th graders) America is headed you konw where without the handbasket!!!!!!!!!!
God save this country because the one who supposed to be leading this country needs cue cards to talk to kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bobjimflys commented:
There was one time he did not use the telepromter. When he made his speech about the troop build up in Afghanistan at West Point, he was buzzing along reading his telepromter acting away, then it came time to talk to the Muslims of the World, and he quit reading, and spoke and looked straight ahead to get his message out, I found that Condescending as hell, he has a lot of nerve to do something like that to the American People. It just did not sit right. thank you
Georgia commented:
He didn’t use a teleprompter when he spoke to the kids, just the media. If you look at the background – it’s a different classroom!
Brian commented:
Wow. Way to check out the story. Way to search for facts. The truth is always the first casualty, especially at the hands of LIARS who blog with an agenda.
Eddie commented:
My fellow Americans,
My kid goes to the school Mr. Obama visited. The teleprompters were set up in a second classroom, occupied only by the press. He spoke to the children w/o the use of the devices which allowed Dubya to coast through his Presidency and ultimately, ruin this nation.
Get your facts straight before you open your mouth. If you hate him so badly and dislike the direction this country is taking, stop crying and LEAVE! You traitorous leeches.
***USA****
Love it or leave it.

what flock of stupid people. Bush could hardly speak English let alone use a tele-prompter. None of you ever have been in the presence of anyone smarter than OBAMA !!
Don commented:
Another right wing lie and distortion of the facts unveiled!
Barleyman commented:
I think everyone should be required to read this story, and comments, start to finish. They will then see the problem with America. No one ever bothers to double check any story. They just lap it up like drones. The President did not need a teleprompter to speak to 6th graders. Stop being sheeple… think for yourselves for a change.

It shows how prepared his is with his thoughts. He writes them down. At least he can read because George Bush couldn’t.

Ooops! Wrong… tsk tsk tsk. Everyone is always trying to find ways to bash on the President, and of course most of you all who first thought this story was true was so quick to believe everything they hear… especially coming from a blogger.

I am sick and tired of the stupid people in this country. If you slam this man, then you are a Racist!!! People that post this baloney are looking for every possible thing that they can find against him. This whole teleprompter thing is untrue. PLEASE, PLEASE, I BEG YOU, LET THIS MAN DO HIS JOB. I AM OUT OF WORK AND I NEED TO FIND WORK! I DON’T NEED A BUNCH OF RACISTS GETTING IN MY WAY AND THAT’S WHAT ALL OF THESE JERKS THAT OPPOSE OBAMA FOR JUST WALKING INTO A ROOM, ARE!!!
Wow commented:
You folks are amazing. You are mad because the President is a good speaker. You just can’t win when folks are against you and your views (for many different reasons)
To think that our President is dumb is comical. I may not agree with all of his policies, but he is not dumb. Bush was not dumb, he was just a poor speaker. You know the world does not end because people are good speakers or bad and it does not make them dumb. Try to get your facts right, he did not use the device to talk to the children.
mary commented:
Interesting that he feels he needs to reconnect with the American people…the best way is to throw out the teleprompter and talk to us directly and take tough questions from “real” reporters…not the white house yes men/women…enough of the one on one contrived interviews…it’s a shame that he needed to bring along a tele for speaking to kids….maybe he’s not as bright as we all think if he can’t remember a short speech….
J A Schriever commented:
What a bunch of ridiculous A Hole’s
Mark commented:
Since when does the media need a teleprompter? You liberals only see what you want to see and will stop at nothing to twist the truth to rationalize your agenda to the American public. We’re not stupid!
Marie commented:
Maybe you should back up your story.
This was when he was speaking to reporters in the same school. He sat down WITHOUT teleprompters with the 6th graders in another room.

I can tell which of the bloggers failed grade school. READ the story BEFORE posting comments. You call an obviously WELL educated man names, but most of you FAILED to READ THE ENTIRE STORY!! The teleprompters were there for his meeting with reporters IN A SEPARATE ROOM. I bet you imbeciles failed your schools standardized tests. Remember, it’s never too late to go back to school and learn how to read.

Bill is a raciest! Try saying something intellegent without making it a white vs black thing and mayby I’ll listen.

Unbelievable!! Not Obama and the teleprompters, but all of you who don’t check things for yourselves……and that’s most of you who posted a comment. Obama was not using a teleprompter to talk to the kids!!!!!! He was in two separate rooms. The room where the teleprompters were was his speech to the press. No kids in that room, just reporters. Why are all of you so quick to believe a lie?? OK….so you hate Obama, that’s clear. But don’t let someone write an article and you accept it with blinders on just because of your hatred. Don’t be an easy mark. Gateway Pundit needs a reality check.
Joel Hayes commented:
it is a true and sad commentary about the republican (my) party affiliation that the majority are undereducated bible beating spiteful hypocrites. this thread goes a long way to support that cliche. thanks for sharing your ignorance.
Dirk commented:
Im first of all surprised that this story is still up because they have been told to take it down. It’s nothing but proaganda lies, and
mainly false reporting. There is no truth to there story. The president didn’use teleprompters to talk to 6th graders. After he left the children he went into another classroom to meet with press then gave a short speech from the tetpromters and asked questions from the press afterward. Simple I know, but it takes an IQ above 85 to see the truth, the rest that believe this crap. We just have to look on and shakes our heads in dissapointment.
Mark Calloshi commented:
The truly greatest part about this is I’ve read numerous comments about “Obama not being smart than a 6th grader” yet even 6th graders are told to do proper research for their reports. Looks like the person who posted this and all you idiots who didn’t get your facts straight are NOT smart than a 6th grader. I hope to the good Lord above NONE of you are teachers, cause if that’s the case, then this country really is screwed.
Leda commented:
Lies. He was not talking to the children there. Liars.
Corey commented:
seriously, anyone who thinks he is talking to kids in this picture is very stupid, i believe the only people who think that he used the teleprompter to talk to the children, just hates Obama, i don’t know either they are racist, or just stupid, but seriously what on earth gave you the impression he is talking to kids? besides, he is still 10 times smarter than our last stupid president who just sat down stupidly when 911 happened, anyone remember that? Get off his back, we voted for him, and he has been doing a decent job, could be better, but could be a lot worse
William commented:
So? No doubt other presidents and politicians have done the same.
This blog is being monitored by Chronwatch, a bunch of racists that use sexual terms when talking about people they don’t like. For instance, they call me “residentfag”.
They are monitored by a racist loser called Doc Farmer, and are inbred into their web site. They are chronic liars, the most recent lie is that I can no longer post on their fascist board. Incorrect. I NEVER have posted on their fascist board.
FairNBalanced commented:
Um, are you going to retract this story, Mr. Hoft, now that it has been clearly shown to be false? Do you have any credibility whatsoever?
McJoe commented:
Regardless of what happened here, Obama is a jerk. I can’t think of another person I’ve ever heard who is so negative about everything (the Rev Wright influence?). He is the President, for God’s sake! Have you ever heard anther President, or a CEO or other prominent person complain, lambast and deride everyone and everything as much as he does? These are all people and institutions he should be working and consulting with to solve problems. Yet constantly derides every institution that could help him fix the economy if he would be a more positive, sympathetic and respectful person. The man obviously has always been a loner and has no concept of using good management skills to help mold his relationships using positive messages, tone and language. Obama is nothing but a self-centered, immature jerk!
wayne commented:

David DeVoss commented:
The writer of this blog and you people who respond don’t seem to believe in productive or constructive criticism. The amount of hatred and fear you express really is frightening. Obama “tanked” the stock market in response to the Mass. vote???? If Americans get the government they deserve I’d hate to imagine the type of person you would vote for.
AmendingAngel commented:
Are you this bored and pathetic that you revel in any misinformation you can conjure up and pass on to your fellow miscreants, impostors, and malevolents? What holds you conservatives together? Is it your sightless alliance in bringing forth ideas that will never change or improve, and have been a proven failure, or is it your cowardice and deliberate unwillingness to reflect on where your own collusion of snake oil salesman went wrong for the American people? Your blind allegiance to your unholy crusade accomplishes nothing. Your smoldering wreckage of a party is itself a subject of great ridicule and gathers no respect. In the end, you just shoot yourself in the foot because we all go down together. Politics as a whole is failing us all. The teleprompters were for the press, not the 6th graders, now put on your big people pants and stop your childishness. You give new meaning to the term ugly Americans.
Mr. S commented:
where is your proof that he is reading from a teleprompter??????? All I see is a picture of him behind a bunch of speakers, and that picture of the yahoo news artical you posted below it says nothing about him using a teleprompter so blow it out your ass!

LeftFace commented:
I switched from Republican to Democrat a few years ago but I think I’m pretty fair when it comes to praise and criticism. Even though we later learned he didn’t use the teleprompter while speaking to the kids, democrats have a lot of nerve when it comes to being outraged over unfair press coverage.
Remember when some low-level-bureaucratic-hack, eighteen-steps removed from President Reagan added ketchup to the list of what were considered “vegetables” in the school lunch program? For years afterward all we heard was “Reagan made ketchup a vegetable because he hates poor people”. Or how about all the ridicule of Dan Quayle for not being able to spell potato all because he read what was printed on the card the teacher gave him, “P-O-T-A-T-O-E”. Something we later learned she did purposely to try and make him look like a fool. I remember complaining at the time, not because I was a Republican, but because what the press, pundits and democrats were doing was wrong and unfair.
And then a few short years later during the Clinton administration we find out that the long-subpoenaed but long-missing billing records from the Rose Law Firm not only turn up in the White House living quarters, they literally have Hillary’s fingerprints all over them. The entire media coverage of this consisted of her saying, “I don’t know how they got there” and the collective press saying, “OK, good enough”. This free-pass being just one of many they were given by the media; something that was a direct betrayal of the obligation expected of them when they were given the freedoms granted by the First Amendment. The many failures of the media during the past few decades are as inexcusable as they are wrong.
So how’s that for being fair and unbiased?
My point? The delusional nonsense many of you, and many of those in the right-wing talking-head-crowd are now throwing at President O’bama is just as wrong and just as unfair as the things I just mentioned.
And I know you guys get all pissed-off when you’re accused of being racist but I have to say that, among people I’ve known for years, there is a 100% correlation between those I’ve always known to express racist views (like advocating violence against minorities…and no, just because it’s done in a joking manner doesn’t make it OK) and those who now make all the accusations against O’bama. It’s reached the point where the things you claim are now so of-the-wall, when you compare them with the claims being made by the folks who still tell me I didn’t really see a big-giant-plane fly into the WTC on 9/11 that you’re actually the ones who appear less rational.
Chisum commented:
I’ve enjoyed all the comments by the Obots trying to defend their messiah.
Sorry folks, he has clay feet. Why does he need a teleprompter to speak to the press? Does the teleprompter answer press questions for him?
Maybe he’s afraid that Joe the Plumber has a press pass.

This happens over and over again – Republicans jump on to some inane criticism of Obama and end up looking like morons when it’s proven false. Read your comments. They’re embarrassing. Paranoid rants dreamed up by backwoods idiots hopped up on meth.
And don’t try to change the story by saying how dumb Obama is for using a teleprompter to speak to the press – every Republican does this as well. You must know that yet you lie anyway, and it reeks of desperation.
I’m not a fan of Obama and I’m definitely conservative, but I’d never go by the Republican label lest I be grouped together with these animals. You’ve gradually ruined what little credibility you had left.
