More Confirmation that the Usurper is a Complete Idiot: The Teleprompter

[DecentAmerican]

As if America needed any more evidence that the Usurper is a complete empty-suited idiot, is his reliance on his teleprompter, for events both big and small:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19663.html


Note, NO OTHER PRESIDENT has relied on the teleprompter this much. Certainly decades ago when they didn't have teleprompters, our leaders relied on....GASP!....their memories and intellect. And all those of you who attacked Bush do realize that he did not rely on a teleprompter as much as the Usurper?

And we have seen what a bumbling fool the Usurper is when put on the spot, like in the Saddleback interview...

"uh...um....uh....um....uh"


so, this great Orator, this man who mesmerizes the world over, can't even speak on his own? His words of greatness, that have been put into pocket book sized form for his minions to carry at their heart at all times, are really the words of his speechwriter, Favreau, the man who was caught groping a cardboard cutout of Hillary?


This is your messiah?


Our country is going down the tubes, and you elected a complete bumbling idiot, who is responsible for everything that is happenning to us now, and he can't even speak on his own. Style over substance....happy now?


IDIOT.

I'd be laughing more hysterically if this idiot were not destroying the greatest country in the world.

Bush, Fleischer added, “would use the teleprompter for his major big events, but when he would travel around the country or do events, he would almost always work off of large index cards.”

Yes, Obama uses a teleprompter a whole lot, but it's not like Bush or whoever had no source of their speech... they just used index cards instead.

The fact that the teleprompter is a speaking crutch of his doesn't prove he's an empty suit, it just proves that his oratory skills have been exaggerated.

Not even his oratory skills. It only demonstrates that he uses exosomatic recall. Most of us do, these days. How many Americans are trained in the Palace of Memory, really?

Read the politico article. they note that when he does not have the teleprompter, he can not have a worthwhile lecture or speech at all. He absolutely can not get by without it. And it is already well known that he does not write his own speeches.

so he is just reading other peoples words.

that means....he is an ACTOR. And a very bad one at that.

Any buffoon can stand there and read a teleprompter.

Problem is, the Usurper is not just ANY buffoon, but a supreme one at that.

While you are at your dictionary, do look up "categorical syllogism".

It goes like this:

Assumption: The POTUS must make their eligibility to be President publicly known.


Assumption: Obama has not made his elibility publicly known.


Conclusion: Obama can not be POTUS.


As long as the 2 assumptions are true, then the conclusion is true. It doesn't matter if he moves into the white house, changes the drapes, installs basketball courts, signs bills...... the conclusion will always be true. It is a fact of nature.


Until then, he is officially an Usurper.

But this is discussed in another thread. I am only answering your question.

And, you're welcome.

Those of us who kept away from the koolaid are already aware of this. But its nice to see an article outlining Obama's 2nd wife, the teleprompter.

LOL....Michelle could only hope that he scopes her out as much as he lingers over his precious teleprompter! But it is nice to see that Politico, permanently in the tank for him, finally is seeing some light. Had it been any other media saying something negative about their messiah Usurper, the wacko nutjob libtards would cry racism!!!

:boohoo:

[DecentAmerican]

After the last eight years of the world getting a good laugh from embarrassing Bushisms, it's kind of comforting to have a President who doesn't spontaneously open his pie hole and spout nonsense, if you ask me.



So, you are admitting, then, that without his teleprompter (which is someone else's speech writing), that the Usurper will "spout nonsense" spontaneously?

If left to his own devices, he will be nonsensical?

Yes, thank you for confirming that. And no, he does not do well in interviews, notice how much he stutters and hesitates and goes into weird longwinded tangents in interviews.

Plus, it is already well known that his press conferences are extremely well controlled, and he won't answer any ....GASP....difficult questions!

[Jhary]

1-You need to crack a dictionary, because it is obvious you don't know the meaning of the word 'usurper'. Let me give you a hint: Obama was elected. :rolleyes:.

...O'Drama was born in Kenya, and is NOT a natural born American citizen, and thus, is NOT legally eligible to be POTUS. That makes him a usurper.

2-Nobody has ever claimed him as the Messiah. That is utter nonsense concocted by the right.

Dem party strategist Donna Brazile and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) both said it while bashing Sara Palin at the same time, that O'Drama was a community organizer like Jesus while Pontius Pilate was a governor. It's usually a good idea to check your FACTS first BEFORE you post:

When in the hell has he had a real debate or interview where he was asked anything other than what color his Hanes are?:wall:

He looked and sounded like a fool at Saddleback. That was the only forum where he had to speak off the cuff. Even in his interview with O'Reilly he was given the questions ahead of time and he still bumbled his way through it. Everything else was and still is scripted.

[DelawareGuy]

[TexasGreatGranny]

That's not what I was saying at all, but you probably know that. It was merely a comparison to his predecessor, who gave spontaneity a bad name.
At least I knew what George Bush was saying and there was a good change it was true. This guy is a joke. We have seen how transparent he is and today they proved it again, the union in Florida living the high life and Joe Bidens speach not being public. So much for this administrations transparency and someone needs to tell him the definition of TRUTH.

Did you not see any of the other debates? I realize you don't like him and that he says uh's and um's a lot... but your hate for him is clearly clouding your perception.

I hadn't heard that he got the O'Reilly questions before the interview... where did you hear this?

[mc02rglide]

I'm sure glad the Messiah deal is a sarcastic term applied to the Chicago CHUMP. No morals, no ethics, administration of crooks = opposite of Messiah, maybe the devil, maybe communist, socialist, hitler wanabe ?? If you look up the definition of narcissist that pretty well pegs the telepromter using show boy. I agree that he certainly can't speak on his own, uh-dah-uh-ah-ah, lips moving = lies being spewed !!:mad:

I'm sure you are familiar with the physics law that says every action has an opposite and equal reaction?

There's nothing wrong with swearing... they're just strongly expressive words that bother people who are too easily offended by words.

Healthcare: I agree with his healthcare plan because I believe everyone should have access to affordable healthcare but I do believe it's best for the industry and they economy if the health care providers themselves remain private. Also his requirement that all children have coverage is good as all children should have regular check ups and not be screwed should they have any serious medical issues. The fact that adults would not be required to be covered is a good thing because I believe the government requiring all adults to have healthcare coverage is over stepping the bounds of freedom.

A more general reason I like him is that, and this is admittedly perception, he seems to be a straight talker when it comes to the ups and downs of our situation. On the otherhand, I don't like the fact that he tries to play damage control when it comes to situations that may come across has controversial as it always seems to come back and bite him. For example I have no issue with the fact that he had a professional relationship with William Ayers... but I do have an issue with the fact that instead of being straight about it he tried to downplay it. I really hate it when politicians try to powder coat things.

It's laughable that so many who defend Obama argue that the Messiah tag was concocted by the right. Baloney. It has been his own fawning loyalists who have played messianic politics, and Obama has gone along with it. Please educate yourself and look at the link below. In it you will find just how nutty many of Obama's followers are. They are basically a messianic cult. It is they who are drooling over Obama as if he were the saviour. Look, it is their own words, as well as Obama's words. This is NOT stuff concocted by the right. It is idolotry being carried out by Obama worshippers.

The guy is a fake in every way. He's a manufactured product, promoted, packaged, and designed to attract the most buyers......and the country was duped big time.

He's noted for his oratorical skills. However, there's a reason he has learned never to leave home without his teleprompter. He had some embarrassing moments during the campaign when it malfunctioned, and he doesn't have the creativity to speak off the cuff for a couple of minutes.

The teleprompter is his security blanket. Mommy, I want my blanky! Bammy needs his prompty!

HMMMM, you seem really confused. You admit that it is a matter of perception and then go on to discredit your own perception. Is he a straight talker or not? No problem in your view of his relationships just a matter of not being a "straight talker" when it comes to explaining them?

I can communicate without them, but I like to use them for emphasis. It's like I could draw a picture with just black, but I'd prefer to use color.

HMMMM, you seem really confused. You admit that it is a matter of perception and then go on to discredit your own perception. Is he a straight talker or not? No problem in your view of his relationships just a matter of not being a "straight talker" when it comes to explaining them?

I said: "he seems to be a straight talker when it comes to the ups and downs of our situation." Not that he's a straight talker about everything.

[supreme_war_Pig]

While you are at your dictionary, do look up "categorical syllogism".

It goes like this:

Assumption: The POTUS must make their eligibility to be President publicly known.


Assumption: Obama has not made his elibility publicly known.


Conclusion: Obama can not be POTUS.


As long as the 2 assumptions are true, then the conclusion is true. It doesn't matter if he moves into the white house, changes the drapes, installs basketball courts, signs bills...... the conclusion will always be true. It is a fact of nature.


Until then, he is officially an Usurper.

But this is discussed in another thread. I am only answering your question.

And, you're welcome.


:D

The only ones still disputing Obama's birth certificate are the kooks. Take that as you will.

[gianni]

I cited only the Obamamessiah blog, not the other stuff. That blog simply brings together all the wacky stuff that Obama worshippers have said about Obama, including Obama's own messianic politics. Everything on that blog checks out and can be easily verified. It is the truth. Do your own homework, run down the quotes. They are real. I know sometimes the truth hurts.

[fallenturtle]

The guy is a fake in every way. He's a manufactured product, promoted, packaged, and designed to attract the most buyers......and the country was duped big time.


An accusation that is ironically without substance.

He's noted for his oratorical skills. However, there's a reason he has learned never to leave home without his teleprompter. He had some embarrassing moments during the campaign when it malfunctioned, and he doesn't have the creativity to speak off the cuff for a couple of minutes.

The teleprompter is his security blanket. Mommy, I want my blanky! Bammy needs his prompty!

There seems to be this misconception that when previous politicians haven't used teleprompters that their speaking "off the cuff," but the article in the OP says that Bush when not using a teleprompter used note cards.

As someone with a terrible memory and the habit to stumble over my words I can't fault Bush or Obama on their speaking habits.

[supreme_war_Pig]

...O'Drama was born in Kenya, and is NOT a natural born American citizen, and thus, is NOT legally eligible to be POTUS. That makes him a usurper.



Dem party strategist Donna Brazile and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) both said it while bashing Sara Palin at the same time, that O'Drama was a community organizer like Jesus while Pontius Pilate was a governor. It's usually a good idea to check your FACTS first BEFORE you post:

There were many instances when Bush did speak off the cuff, without notes or without prompters. President Bush was not always the most articulate, and he got plenty of grief over it, but he had a completely different personality. George Bush was himself, and Obama has to conform to his contrived image.

Wrong- I saw him speak at a large campaign gathering. No teleprompter, cue cards, or notes. It was electrifying.

During the NH primaries, I was invited to a house where he was speaking...all the network cameras were there;
it was a relatively small living room...he was literally a few inches away from me...for an hour I watched him, off the cuff give his speech and then handle some rather difficult questions from voters with poise and knowledge like I had seen no other.

I should say - I went in with no predilection to vote for him, and left extremely impressed; he still did not capture my vote after that - but NO ONE can watch that man speak in person before a crowd and not be amazed at his abilities .

This will be my last comment on the subject since there's a thread on here that's devoted strictly to this issue.

Don't you wonder why he has at least three law firms fighting every single law suit, costing him huge sums of money? If there was irrefutable proof of eligibility, why wouldn't he just unseal what's in the vault and show it to the world?

Wow... a scripted interview!

Try this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxBX8sz3tO8



:))....too funny!!

From the Op's article:

“He uses them to death,” a television crewmember who also covered the White House under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush said of the teleprompter. “The problem is, he never looks at you. He’s looking left, right, left, right — not at the camera. It’s almost like he’s not making eye contact with the American people.”

I could never watch any speech long enough to notice any teleprompter.....And part of the reson I couldn't stand to watch him was his habit of continously looking to his left, with eyes downward then how he would then turn to the right with head slightly tilted up but his eyes downward.....makes him look arrogant.

[Mountain Soldier]

1-You need to crack a dictionary, because it is obvious you don't know the meaning of the word 'usurper'. Let me give you a hint: Obama was elected. :rolleyes:
2-Nobody has ever claimed him as the Messiah. That is utter nonsense concocted by the right.

Yeah, not like Rolling Stone printed a cover with him and a glowing light and halo and proclaiming him the new hope.

[Middy]

Such claims are nonsensical... how do you know if Bush or Obama are being themselves or not being themselves?

Obama, in his book "Dreams From my Father" talks about the tricks he learned from James Cone, the founder of Black Liberation Theology on how to present himself.


Does Obama speak in a code recognizable to fellow travelers but not to most voters, who would be frightened off by a radical agenda? "If you're black, it's hard to say what you truly think and not upset white people," Cone said.

Obama has learned a trick, however, to put them at ease: "smile" and act "well mannered." And don't "seem angry" or make any "sudden moves," as he shared in his first book, "Dreams From My Father."

Also, talk about "hope" without saying what exactly it is you're hoping for. Tellingly, Cone writes a good deal about "hope theology" — which "places the Marxist emphasis on action and change in the Christian context (and) is compatible with black theology's concerns.

Berg brought a lawsuit, challenging O'Drama's eligibility to be POTUS. What did O'Drama do in response? Did he simply present his birth certificate and end the arguement for all time? No...instead, he posted a FORGED certification of live birth (which is NOT a birth certificate) on the interenet, then proceeded to challenge Berg's legal right to sue. Why not just present his cert and end it right there??? On top of it all, the state of Hawaii has SEALED O'Drama's BC, and won't allow ANYBODY to look at it. It's obvious O'Drama is hiding something...oh I wonder what it could be...that he doesn't HAVE a birth certificate???

And let me make this clear, I am a senior citizen who lives on 875.00 a month social security...I am dirt poor, I was born a democrat but about the time Ronald Regan ran for president I figured out Democrats do not help the poor, not in any way shape or form.

This is a topic for the BC thread. However, since you brought it up here on my thread (I'm the OP), I am obligated to address it briefly here.

Included on the long list of plaintiffs demanding to see the Usurper's eligibility, are several retired and ACTIVE DUTY military, many of whom are decorated heroes.

So, how would you say this works? You and your family are in danger from enemies abroad, some brave men and women swear to protect you and your family and the Constitution, and they are willing to risk their life for you, and they ask nothing in return, except, before they are sent into harm's way, that they get just some reassurance that their CIC is eligible? Is that too much to ask? And what kind of gratitude is it, regardless of if you agree with them or not, that you sit there all fat and cushy in your easy chair, and your family is made safe by these brave soldiers, and you turn around and slap them in the face and insult them and call them "kooks"? And what kind of evil man refuses to produce one stupid document to ease their concerns?

Now, what kind of monster would insult our soldiers that way?

Take that as you will.

:rolleyes:


But, alas, the BC thread is a different thread altogether, so kindly go there to discuss your wacko nutjob lib theories to protect your Usurper, 'k?

[gianni]

You're right, Obama's not a secret Marxist. He is out in the open, using Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" as the template. He is supposed to try to appear moderate, but that facade has been cracking big time. Yep, the guy is a Marxist.

Kindly please be reminded that I, as the OP, did not initiate this issue. It was written up very nicely by Politico, which, although claiming objectivity, has always been in the lib tank for the Usurper. So if you say that it is silly, then do attack Politico for this.

But......everyone is noticing that the Usurper is fairly helpless without his teleprompter, which, remember, is mostly other people's words.

God bless you Granny, and it is painful to see the good people of this country suffer because of the greed and corruption of the Usurper and his ilk. I don't ever want to wish ill on others, but as I see our great country tumble into mediocrity, I do wonder if it wasn't a good thing if all those who voted for the Usurper, who cried when he spoke, who felt tingles down their leg when they saw him......I wonder if it wasn't good if all of those lost souls were the ones who lost their jobs and homes. Because when you are under the spell of kool-aid, you refuse to listen to good reason or see the clear evidence, and it would take something like that, like losing your home or risking the security of your family and loved ones, to see the colossal, the castastrophic, the tragic mistake you made when you voted for "change".

What will it take, Usurper-lovers, for you to see the light? When the Dow reaches Zero?

Hang in there Granny.

Wrong. It says that Obama is a slow thinker. He is known to require input from multiple sources before he comes to any conclusion. Having an analytical mind is good, but carrying that to the extreme on even uncomplicated issues indicates a lack of confidence in his own thinking process. He needs the security of the prompter.

Yes, of course I read the article.

Here's what it says about him speaking without it:

After the teleprompter malfunctioned a few times last summer and Obama delivered some less-than-soaring speeches

In a break from his routine, Obama did not use a teleprompter during his pre-Inauguration speech at a factory in Bedford Heights, Ohio — and his delivery seemed to suffer. He paused too long at parts. He accentuated the wrong words. And overall he sounded hesitant and halting as he spoke from the prepared remarks on the podium.

Hardly "fails miserably...is hesitant, confused" accept for "hesitant". It's just his delivery that suffers which does not mean he's an idiot, it means he's overly reliant on the teleprompter and is less comfortable doing speeches using alternative forms of notes or scripts.

Those of us who hate him notice things like that.

Translation: those of us who hate him, see reality.

Oh my, do you get paid a nice salary as the Usurper Protector?

Defend him at all costs, no matter what the evidence?

Recall again:

-- this issue was brought up by Politico (and repeated in the New York Times). If it wasn't such a big deal, as you claim, then why was it made news by these mainstream media?


-- No other President has had to rely on the teleprompter as much. You did NOTE that even for the smallest of events, he still has to use it???? And remember again, when he is reading off the teleprompter, he is reading someone elses words.

Any buffoon can do that.


Even on the campaign trail, Hillary, McCain, Palin, even bonehead Biden didn't require the teleprompter as much as the Usurper.

Also, recall, at the RNC convention, during Palin's acceptance speech, her teleprompter malfunctioned......and she was able to finish her speech succinctly and eloquently, and no one even noticed!

Now, if that were to happen to the Usurper.....yikes, he probably go running off like a little girl.

Just curious, it's obvious you're madly in love with the Usurper, even though he has proven himself to be an idiot and liar. Do you normally remain loyal to people who lie to your face? I mean, really, undying loyalty, to a man who has LIED to you? It's almost creepy to way you protect him at all costs.

If he can't even introduce someone without the aid of a teleprompter indicates that he's unable to think on his feet. He knows how to speak, but he doesn't know what to say unless it's scripted.....so that means he's clueless.
