Great Moments in Blather: 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, here."

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, 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 electronically 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-storm, Republicans know that any day now, the Obama presidency will just go up in flames, and everything will go back the way it was... to, as they call it, a blessed "post 911 world."
