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:
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.
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."
Well, the idiot of a thousand words (somebody's else's as usual) has a new cheerleader. One stuck in the seventies.
How appropriate.

Nidbits, you butted in? I didn't even notice. Did you have anything relevent to the topic, or would you like a moment to switch over to Fux News to check and see what Bill-O the Clown would like you to say?
Personally, I'll take Obama with or without the teleprompter any day over that last guy that really made America the laughing stock of other countries with his verbal screw ups.
Posted by: Drew | April 30, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Don’t give me props for my wit.(think Rod Serling). My wit lies deep in a dark corner of my mind. The creative, if not logical, left side of my brain. Enter at your own risk. There be common sense and stupid dialog from the old Richard Pryor TV show here. If you stay there to long you may contract a liberal ailment like "consideration". You may turn to the light and understand the goofiness you spew. Then what?

'Putz, some of us can't while away our work hours posting on blogs.'
Well, you (and other teachers) sure seem to do a good job of it. And is it sometimes at taxpayer's expense? Hmmmmm.
Interesting how you have to attack PS personally and how you are not able to take him on with facts, or intelligently refute his. You wouldn't even make it as a teleprompter.
Posted by: HoChiMinh | May 01, 2009 at 05:44 AM
Hey Duffman, you are wrong to say I'm wrong, which makes you wrong twice!
All blogs and personal websites are blocked in my school district, so I couldn't post even if I had the time.
So, that makes it wide open for you to kiss up to Puts all day! Have fun!
Posted by: sparky | May 01, 2009 at 05:56 AM
And you are wrong on three (3) counts. But, keep trying.

i was off yesterday helping out and spent a little time over here between weeding chores.
jeez.
note that we don't have facts to refute my points.

what's really funny is that no one wants to say,

Hey Drew, answer this: If Bush was soooo stupid how come he cleaned the Dems clock, twice!
I'll pause as you scamper away....
Posted by: Puget Sound | May 01, 2009 at 06:24 AM
If you believe the count in Florida was correct, 537 votes would be considered close. It's those 112,000 votes that you still have to answer for. Close? Not when you count all the votes.
Posted by: Drew | May 01, 2009 at 07:07 AM
You call having a conservative weighted Supreme Court decide an extremely close election cleaning "the Dems clock"? You're some kind of stupid.

Drew, every responsible recount of all the votes -even those pesky Military Votes- had W winning.

Bush even beat Gore in the VP's home state. All Gore had to do was carry his own frickin state. And he couldn't manage that against someone who you think is stupid/inarticulate. Yet it happened.
Given that Gore should have won that election hands down, I call that cleaning his clock.
You want to quibble and call it a buzzer beater, fine. Go ahead. Doesn't change the results.

Still waiting for an answer from either 'Drew' or 'Andrew' to the real question. How did someone so dumb beat you like a drum.
Posted by: Puget Sound | May 01, 2009 at 12:09 PM
Hey Pu So
I’ll answer the question. Bush was a great campaigner. Always was. Most folks give credit to his team and his strange past indulgences’ but the plain fact is he put together a winning combination. I even told my uber-liberal neighbor around the time of the privatized social security push, I thought he was the unvarying campaigner. My neighbor just about shit a brick side ways. But Bush’s genius in campaigning fell well short in governing. We all stand witness to his incompetence.
Posted by: M.Steele | May 01, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Hey PuTs? How did a guy who barely won beat anyone like a drum?
Posted by: AuthenticAndrew | May 01, 2009 at 01:45 PM
A good example of butt wompin is Obama’s triumph. They are still reeling.
Posted by: M.Steele | May 01, 2009 at 02:33 PM
Hey M Steele
At least you answered the question. And I appreciate that you are intellectually honest on the matter.
And you're right, the Repubs are reeling.
But recall the Dems in 94 or the Dems again in 2000.
Every party over reaches and gets a 'whompin' from the electorate.
Posted by: Puget Sound | May 01, 2009 at 02:46 PM
Nothing like stating the obvious. And look who he beat, a grampa who looked like a walking zombie and an Alaska bumpkin, and a Party without a plan. Hallellula!

from Joanie:
I'm laughing again. It is so nice to see you keeping these idiots on the defensive. You've driven one away to his medicine cabinet and got the other one thinking about it.
Good on you."
What is your evidence ? That is all in your imagination. I can see underlying insecurity about needing to noticed and liked by your fellow ideologues.
"BTW, Fixed News (I like that) didn't air Obama's press conference so Obama didn't call on the guy from Fixed News. We'll show 'em."
There you go again, trying hard to appeal to your fellow ideologues on this blog. Show them what ? That you think the ideologue President dislikes dissention ?
"Can you imagine a so-called news network not airing the President's news conference? No wonder these idiots never have any accurate information."
That is an idiotic statement on its face. Ïox News must have hurt Barack's feelings. He is too thin skinned.

Puget Sound I suspect the others that disagree are honest and intellectual. They don’t believe bush won in a far if not honorable way. So giving him credit is very laborious. It’s hard to unlink Bush the campaigner from the governor. Just like it’s hard for you to separate the Democrats of 94 and 2000 form today’s party. A couple of examples are, the Republicans are in a shambles and they face a politician like Obama that may have the wherewithal to destroy the Republican Party. Or should I say he will let them implode. If doesn’t make any major faux pas and do what needs to be done I suspect the Republicans will be isolated in the region from whence I hailed.

Yes, Minnesotans want to move on with a native son, Coleman was born in NYC, also a Freemason.
Posted by: Duffman | May 01, 2009 at 07:13 PM
Points well taken, M Steele.
When I use the term intellectual honesty I am not saying someone is not smart. What I am getting at is that the person does not have the ability to be concede a fact that may be uncomfortable to their point of view.
For what it is worth, I am upset that Coleman hasn't conceded at this point. Elections have consequences and we will get a chance to see what a Dem Pres, Dem Senate, and Dem Congress means for this country.
Some bad news. Looks like devoted Randi followers were the victims of some bad luck.

PS, yep but my point is these things happen on all sides. Take this for instance. Some folks believe we should let the past be the past when it comes to the Bush administration. Then convulse when they hear about illegal aliens. Both happened in the past but there seems to be a difference. I’m not trying to bring forth the obvious hypocrisy. Just trying to say maybe there is a reason for it, and to listen may help one understand.
