Teleprompter is disastrous for obama's future

As the slow-leaking facts mount up at our feet like cherry pits, Congressional Republicans believe President Obama and his unpopular administration will face impeachment or resignation.

"This ain't going away," said Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, (R-KY) " There's too much there." The practice of Obama of reading every public word he utters from the reading machine (dubbed "TOTUS" by his critics) will bring him down, they believe.

With the Republicans' usual mastery of the media, they've managed to keep the issue of Obama's mysterious dependence on the teleprompter up and running for months. It's prevented him from getting anything done in his first 100 days, and is the basis of the public's distrust and dislike for the man and his family.

Republicans are convinced that the ubiquitous machine, with its glinting glass screens is hiding more than Obama's obvious difficulties communicating, and his meager abilities.

Why can't the POTUS kick this habit? Does he never have anything original or spontaneous to say? Who runs TOTUS?

The GOP has several theories: 1) he's stupid 2) he's on drugs 3) he's controlled electronically by Rahm Emmanuel who's controlled by George Soros and ACORN.

As Rush Limbaugh said Monday:

So I find it interesting that among those who oppose Obama a lot of people think he couldn't be doing this on his own. There's gotta be somebody behind him, somebody writing the speeches. We know that's Axelrod. Somebody putting words in the teleprompter. We know that that's Axelrod. Somebody who may have chosen him, prepped him, groomed him, what have you, some man behind the curtain.   

Sean Hannity wondered out loud on his radio show Tuesday, "He can't improvise a core belief?"

Obama seems to be getting worse at reading from the screens. Except for some brave reporting from the respected on-line pub Newsmax, nobody is reporting this stuff.

"The fix is in with the mainstream media," says a Republican analyst, "that's why they're acting like this is just petty bullshit dreamed up in petty desperation."

The Republican teleprompter drumbeat day after day is dragging down his public opinion numbers. According to the Rasmussen, 52% of Republicans think he's not bright enough to say anything original; 24% think he's a Moslem and needs translation from the Arabic; and 31% believe he's addicted to crack.

Despite it serves as the strings of the puppetmaster, the teleprompter seems to have a mind of its own.

Rush: And this is very strange. I mean the prompter had to know that he'd gone off prompter but the prompter didn't know what to do then because it doesn't usually happen.  So the prompter got paralyzed. It just stopped. Normally, the prompter, when you go off the prompter, the prompter tries to follow along and pick up where you left off and you're going to resume, but there was a total breakdown here -- I love this prompter. You know, every now and then this prompter just shows Obama who the boss is. I just love it. "

The Republicans know they have the upper hand now, and Democrats are scared. "I feel like we're living on borrowed time," says a Congressman who wouldn't let his name be used.

With the truth about the teleprompter and its manipulators looming over Washington like a Great Blossoming Turd, Republicans know that any day now, the Obama presidency will just go up in flames, and everything will go back the way it was... or, as they call it: to the blessed "post 911 world."

The conversation here has sunk to a low intellectual level that parallels with right-wing pundits. Fewer ideologically based and more thought provoking posters would be a refreshing change and probably bring more substance here, which is influenced by the loss of the gop - just sayin'

"Why are these prisoners the problem of other countries? It's the unfinished business of King George the W, and you should be asking him. But here's my solution: there's a "secluded safe haven" as it's brochure advertised, just outside of Dallas, TX. There's still a lot of land available (probably because of its exorbitant price), but if we get in there right now, we can claim it as our own for this important cause (that's what we do. Oil is a really good cause, for instance). Texans are patriotic, God-fearin' white folk, and they don't mind welcomin' newcomers into Preston Hollow, the exclusive up-scale neighborhood where Bushler is now living. They can pave a bike trail around the new detention center, where Texans can ride their Huffys with their Winchesters at the ready, doin' their part to keep Texass safe from persons Bush imprisoned since 2003 without charges, lawyers, or trials.

Drew, what would you suppose we do when we come across combatants and such on the battlefield? We could have done what our enemy does -you HAVE noticed that they don't seem to keep American soldiers as prisoners, right?- or we can remove them from the battlefield to sort 'em out. Once we determine that they are not a threat we need to return them to their country of origin.
Shock of shocks, the countries don't want these people back. A real puzzler, eh? Now WHY would that be so...c'mon, I know you can answer that.

Or will it be back to yet another pseudonym...kind of funny. Will it be Highlander? We'll keep our fingers crossed. Maybe Storsie can make an appearance. It's been awhile. LOL .

But nice dodge. The real question is that Pres Obama is going to adopt YET another Pres Bush policy is my bet. Oh it will be postured differently but in the realm of defense he is pretty much Bush.
Or 'Bushler' as Coiler likes to call him.

I prefer pundits of moderate and deeper thought. David Brooks, Thomas Friedman and Charlie Rose. If that sounds foreign to you - its probably because you believe the left wing is intellectually superior. Don't fool yourself - maybe they are adequate, but they lack common sense and sensibility. Much of the mainstream media are mental midgets and ethically challenged. I have never been impressed with leftwing thought and emotional logic (an oxymoron). Their creativity is good though and they have a place.

When they get control of the government, they get out of control and lose their sensibility, become tyrannical and expand the culture of corruption - I'm talking about the progressive-tyrannical left. We already witnessed the progressive-tyrannical right with the Bush Administration. A note to the usual suspects - Look up the definition progressive before you respond to this - you will probably be surprised and a bit dismayed.

Nailed it again PS. LMAO

gullible
"someone who will swallow anything thrown at him."

"There is the whole right-wing indoctrination mantra in a nutshell."

Yes, the right wing is also too black and white, as is the left wing. Gullible is true in reference to Sparky and rest of the Progressive tyrants. A better word though is willfull ignorance. It takes a bigger person to admit they may be wrong after doing more research. Moderates and traditional liberals understand this. So far from here, nothing but little people.

KS, spot on.

[sparky]

God this weather sucks. I want to go back to the sunshine.

[joanie]

Spot on, Baba. Almost unreadable, isn't it?

Roz, you out there? We need something interesting to read.

BTW, John Sununu guaranteed papa Bush that Souter would be a conservative. Funny how putting that magic robe of integrity on drives some people into honesty, isn't it? Especially regarding Bush v Gore...

Bush vs. Gore (2000)

Though he was among the four in the minority in the decision giving George W. Bush the presidency by suspending recount of the Florida vote, the case and its political overtones were reported to have haunted Souter and contributed to his desire to leave Washington and the high court.

In his 2007 biography of the justices, "The Nine," legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin wrote that Souter was tempted to resign after what he saw as a crudely partisan vote by his fellow justices.

"At the urging of a handful of close friends, he decided to stay on, but his attitude toward the court was never the same," wrote Toobin. "There were times when David Souter thought of Bush vs. Gore and wept."

I like an honest intellectual man.

Sparky, you can have your veggie chuckles and duffman(aka Ho - why would anybody want to call themselves Ho? Didn't Imus get in trouble for that?) and KS can kiss booty on spootsie. I'll take an honest intellectual man over them any day.

[joanie]

Too bad sputsie doesn't get paid by the word. He'd beat out Bill for top drawer in the wealth department. God, what a mundane boring ponderous non-intellectual.

I think I'll change his name to spot-spot-spotsie!

[sparky]

Danny Bonaduce would like him.

[KS]

Another patently insane outburst by Ph(J)oanie. Why do you dwell on old and stale news ? because your aren't getting enough attention ?

Intellectual - Like you ? hah ! Too bad Souter didn't leave the court then, instead of wait until now. Doesn't mean he was being honest - his actions did not reflect that.

It would be spot-on not spot-spot. If your'e going to mock someone - get it right- Sheez...
