President Obama’s TelePrompTer, which has been challenged to a debate by Rush Limbaugh (neither it nor the Mouth of TelePrompTer, Barack Obama, has responded to date), apparently decided yesterday that St. Paddy’s was best observed with some good, old-fashioned shenanigans.
Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House when he realized something sounded way too familiar. Turns out, he was…giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
Cowen stopped and looked back at the president to say, “That’s your speech.”
Obama laughed and returned to the podium to offer what might have been Cowen’s remarks. In doing so, President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over.
What do you do when you’re a one-legged man and your crutch decides to turn on you? Something tells me this won’t be the last time the tool that allows President Obama to sound the least bit coherent, or like he has a clue what he’s talking about, trips him up and makes him fodder for well-deserved ridicule.

A few "paragraphs" into a speech before he realized it????
USNJIMRET (Diary) Wednesday, March 18th at 10:33AM EST (link)Does the Irish PM also suffer from TP Addiction?
Or does the White House not allow anyone to speak in the presence of The One without a TP assist?
And, of course, had something similar happened in the last eight years………we would STILL be hearing Leno and Letterman cracking ‘jokes’ about it!

Where's the video?
azaeroprof (Diary) Wednesday, March 18th at 11:07AM EST (link)Surely there’s video of this somewhere. I haven’t found it on youtube.
I'm sure it's been flagged as offensive.
itrytobenice (Diary) Wednesday, March 18th at 6:54PM EST (link)It surely would offend President Teleprompter if that were to get out.

indyooper Wednesday, March 18th at 7:17PM EST (link)It has been placed in storage, deep in the memory hole. In the revisionist (true)version the mouth of the TelePrompTer again thanks the Irish PM for coming and promptly hands the speech over to him..
Proves he is just an empty suit
franklinslocke Wednesday, March 18th at 11:20AM EST (link)Obama does not know what is going on around him. Just makes you wonder what else he is missing around him in HIS administration.

I followed the links on this one at the DrudgeReport and got the best laugh I've had in days.
janis (Diary) Wednesday, March 18th at 11:46AM EST (link)Further down in the article, when it mentioned the alcohol that was freely flowing, it also quoted Obama’s gracious and dignified admonition to his (our) guest, “Don’t put lampshades on your heads when the press is around.”
Class act all the way. John Belushi could have done wonders with this administration in the early days of SNL.
I just have to say....

itrytobenice (Diary) Wednesday, March 18th at 7:05PM EST (link)when Bill Clinton gave his State of the Union address and we all found out later that the teleprompter was on the fritz and he had done it from memory?
I have a funny feeling this one wouldn’t go down the same way. Let’s all hope and pray that we get to find out.

I wonder how many teleprompter operators Obama has gone through?
izoneguy (Diary) Wednesday, March 18th at 7:27PM EST (link)I own a teleprompter and only do shoots I can control.
Doing it live and especially live worldwide would give
me too many stomach aches.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

reaganiterepublicanresistance Wednesday, March 18th at 7:52PM EST (link)He’s almost certainly a pathological narcissist… the most dangerous charismatic leaders are, comes from an insecure childhood, like Barack’s.
-
Indicators include control freakery, grandiose self-importance, feeling “above the law”, interpersonally exploitive, inability to handle criticism, lacks empathy, arrogant and haughty behaviors, surrounds himself with sycophants… any of this sound familiar?
-
How else to explain why he’d write his racial-themed autobiography… when he was still a nobody? Same as fellow narcissists Hitler and Stalin.

Obama is a mess- and now it’s all our problem, too.

Apparently President Teleprompter thought...
DONTREADONME (Diary) Wednesday, March 18th at 9:17PM EST (link)that he needed to embarrass someone else after Obama’s speech so we would not get wise to what is going on.
You know if this keeps up President Teleprompter may develop a little jealousy about Obama getting all the credit for everything. President Teleprompter decided today was the day to make sure that no one messes with him/her.
