Obama trades in the trusty old teleprompter for a big screen TV instead
Was this an effort to make sure he didn’t just thank himself in last night’s press conference? Obama read that boring and pointless opening statement from one massive TV monitor from the back and middle of the East Room. White House officials removed the normal glass teleprompters that usually are positioned on both sides of the podium. That change likely a reaction to the focus on the President’s heavy use of teleprompters.” Did the White House think no one would show the TV instead? Knowing their arrogance, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Good news. At least he didn’t need his teleprompter to ask Ann Compton’s “hardball” question about race.
The Teleprompter in chief!
Michelle Malkin has posted some hillarious new images of the teleprompter in chief, sent to her via twitters and other blogs.
We new logo from David Stein

Theres some others such as Doug Ross showing Obama’s “love for basketball” and Bucktown Dusty’s image with Tax Cheat Geithner.
More Obama stupidity! He hopes to “work with” Jacques Chirac over the next 4 years!
This had better be a joke, if not after the wrong region DVDs given to Gordon Brown, the “OVERCHARGE” button given to Russia, the making fun of the Special Olympics on Leno, this will be the topper, and Bush will look like a genious compared to Obama the nitwit. According to A Clinton Puma in Obama land:
Barack Obama does not seem to know that in May 2007, French voters elected Nicolas Sarkozy to the French presidency, to succeed Jacques Chirac who had been president for twelve years.
Yesterday, we told you Sarkozy is irritated because Mister O. refuses to tell him if he will accept to meet him personally in the next few months.
Strangely, we have just learnt this surprising piece of news :
Barack Obama wrote a letter to Jacques Chirac to tell him about his desire to “work with him” for the next four years !
In a letter described by Chirac as “very nice,” Obama wrote, “I am certain that we will be able to work together, in the coming four years, in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world.”
The use of the word “peace” was taken to be an indirect reference to Chirac’s stance against the US intervention in Iraq, which Obama had also opposed.This revelation was made by the online edition of the daily Le Figaro on Thursday.
So, if I understand well, Mister O., who has already despised Gordon Brown, behaving with him as if he did not know he is Prime Minister of Britain, does not even know the name of the French president.
I wonder if someone had told him, when he came to France last summer, that the man he met was NOT Jacques Chirac !
In any case, for Sarko, the blow must be terrible : he has tried to persuade Obama to invite him in Washington for months, and now he learns that his predecessor might soon be Obama’s guest at the White House before him !
Heres another link with info. The story continues to spread. Now Ace of Spades has it.
Can’t get your fill of daily Obama gaffes? Problem solved!
Hotair.com has a great new I guesss ‘feature’ for Hussein Obama’s constant gaffes: The Obamateurism of the Day. Heres a good one to kick it off, from Politico, demonstrating that the White House can’t quite figure out who represents what district in California:
Obama did the town hall, making the usual introductions: “We have Hilda Solis,” applause! and “The lieutenant governor,” applause! He added: “Got an outstanding member of Congress, Rep. Loretta Sanchez,” applause!
“Now, this is not Loretta’s district; this is actually Dana Rohrabacher’s district.” Boos come from the Dem crowd. “No, no, no, we actually — our office screwed up, and I think didn’t get the invitation to him on time, so he’s not here. That was a screw-up on our part. So I want to let him know we’re sorry about that, and I want everybody to give him a big round of applause; it’s his district.”
Sarah Palin destroys Obama over his ‘Special Olympics’ pathetic joke!
You had to know that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would respond to the pathetic remarks made last night by Hussein Obama related to the Special Olympics on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. Heres what she said from the National Review Online:
“I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said. “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world.
“These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.”
Well, after the way his allies went after her, he really couldn’t count on a full-throated defense of a boneheaded comment. Obama used the whole “it’s just a joke” excuse with his “lipstick on a pig” comment, too.
Kolan McConiughey, a Special Olympics bowler challenges Obama to a match!
Kolan McConiughey, a Special Olympics competitor who has bowled three perfect 300 games, tells TMZ that the Prez has to score a lot higher than 129 to beat him. Kolan says he bowls an average of 266. Kolan McConiughey — who works at a grocery store in Ann Arbor, Mich. — said he’d love to go to the White House to beat Barack on his own lane. Kolan said, “He’s cool, but he can’t beat me.” TMZ posed the challenge to the White House. They said “no comment.” LOL!
Without his teleprompter – Obama makes fun of the Special Olympics on Leno!
This is what happens when you take the teleprompter away from the teleprompter President. I don’t watch Leno, I never have, and certain have no incentive to watch the slobbering tonight with Hussein Obama and Jay Leno (who incidently made makes about Sully) the day of that airplane water landing in New York. ABC news (already making excuses for the remark) mentions the following:
Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute taping, the president talked about how he’s gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley, even bowling a 129.
“That’s very good, Mr. President,” Leno said sarcastically.
It’s “like the Special Olympics or something,” the president said.
Did you find this crack offensive? You can vote in this poll. At the time of this posting, there are already 15,000 voters.
Here are some more sites mentioning on these complete and utter disgrace of a man’s crack:

Obama phone home (The New York Times) – I am not a socialist
Hussein Obama after dismissing a question to New York Obama Times reporters regarding if he was a socialist or not, is now in damage control, and had to call the newspaper from the Oval Office to clarify his policies. Has there even been a President in History that not only has had so many gaffes in their first 7 weeks in office, that they even had to call a newspapers (especially one so in bed with Obama) to clarify things? Heres a quote from the Washington Times:
Opening the unusual presidential call to reporters by saying that there was “just one thing I was thinking about as I was getting on the copter,” he said it wasn’t he who started the federal government’s intervention into the nation’s financial system.
“I did think it might be useful to point out that it wasn’t under me that we started buying a bunch of shares of banks. It wasn’t on my watch. And it wasn’t on my watch that we passed a massive new entitlement -– the prescription drug plan — without a source of funding. And so I think it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word ‘socialist’ around can’t say the same.”
Asking Hussein Obama if he is a radical liberal socialist is like asking a leopard if it has spots.
While Obama and his staff smear Rush Limbaugh, the Brits are furious over the treatment of Gordon Brown – but poor Obama is simply “overwhelmed”
Telegraph UK writes a story today that the reason why Obama was so dumb and treated the Gordon Brown family so disrespectfully is simple. Obama is “too tired” from having to deal with the economic meltdown. As the excuses continue to flow, Obama still has no problem having cocktail parties are the White House almost weekly with $100 Wagyu steak, daily bashing of Rush Limbaugh, has no problem sitting court side at a basketball game while he should be running the country, or running off to Canada. Below is a quote from The Telegraph story:
Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
British officials, meanwhile, admit that the White House and US State Department staff were utterly bemused by complaints that the Prime Minister should have been granted full-blown press conference and a formal dinner, as has been customary. They concede that Obama aides seemed unfamiliar with the expectations that surround a major visit by a British prime minister.
But Washington figures with access to Mr Obama’s inner circle explained the slight by saying that those high up in the administration have had little time to deal with international matters, let alone the diplomatic niceties of the special relationship.
