Obama In St Patrick's Day Teleprompt Blunder
12:26pm UK, Wednesday March 18, 2009
A teleprompt blunder has led to Barack Obama thanking himself in a speech at the White House in a St Patrick's Day celebration.
Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address in Washington when he realised it all sounded a bit too familiar.
It was. He was repeating the speech President Barack Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
Mr Cowen stopped, turned to the president and said: "That's your speech."
A laughing Mr Obama returned to the podium to take over but it seems the script had finally been switched and the US president ended up thanking himself for inviting everyone to the party.
Mr Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the "teleprompt president" over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech.
Earlier in the day, the president claimed an Irish ancestry, saying his mother's family could be traced back to Ireland.
He joked to Cowen: "We may be cousins. We haven't sorted that through yet."
Speaking in the Oval Office, he told the Irish premier:"Not all Americans are Irish but all Americans support those who stand on the side of peace and peace will prevail."
The fountains at the White House were dyed green for the day at the request of the First Lady and guests at the cocktail reception drank green sparkling wine from a Californian vineyard.
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon from Northern Ireland and Maggie McCarthy, a traditional Irish dancer and musician from Cork, and the vocal group Celtic Thunder all attended.
Mr Obama joked about the free-flowing bar and warned his guests not to wear lampshades on their heads in front of the cameras.

Are you suggesting that the Chimp or Reagan ever attempted to speak without a teleprompter? Or that the Chimp could even read the damn thing properly?

Sure, Reagan and W used teleprompters from time to time- just not for EVERY FUCKING THING.
If Onogga's teleprompter script told him to say "I drink vodka & dogshit martinis and boy are they tasty", he'd rattle it right off without a hitch and never suspect a thing until and unless somebody told him about it later.

Wrong. Reagan in particular was so dependent on the teleprompter--or Nancy whispering to him--he couldn't wipe the pee off of his shoes without it. And the Chimp....well, we really don't need to offer any examples, do we?

LTS, what does any of that have to do with the hilarity of what was outlined in Cuda's post as having transpired ?
Is there a video clip or soundbite ?
Lighten up. One redeeming quality of Obama is that he seemed to laugh it off apparently, sounds like a good egg.

Cut the horseshit, Nicky. If Reagan had used a teleprompter for anything but major speeches, the left would have howled about it at the time, and would still be howling about it now.
As for W, it's likely the only times he didn't mangle what he was saying was when he
was using a teleprompter.
Even if you had a valid point by whining that "Reagan did it too" (which you don't) that wouldn't make Onogga any less of a fucking buffoon.

His daddy didn't help him because his daddy was a typical deadbeat negro that was too busy impregnating half of Africa. Besides, who needs daddy's help when you can benefit from unbelievebly low affirmative action standards. As a negro, all he needed to get into an Ivy league school was a pulse.

Smirky McFlightsuit is a beneficiary of affirmative action as well, albeit of a different kind. He's the beneficiary of the kind of affirmative action that has the wealthy helping their own, even the ones who fell out of the inbred family tree and hit their heads on a few branches on the way down.
In an honest world, he would've flunked out of community college after a semester, and today, with some hard work and a lot of luck, he might be a department manager at his local Wal-Mart.

So, gubmint sanctioned AA such as the type that put barry in office is OK then? It's just the private sector old white boy type that is evil?
I won't argue that the shrub rose to his station because of proper parent picking, but, he's not nearly as dumb as you claim. He was entrusted with flying jet fighters. You should know that stupid people wouldn't be given this opportunity, no matter their pedigree.
I'd say had the shrub been adopted out at birth, he'd probably still be a college grad and probably in sales as he is personable.
Barry? He'd be a lawyer somewhere, but not a trial one as I am fairly certain that teleprompters aren't allowed in court. He'd probably end up a professor.

You can look on youtube and find a whole arsenal of bloopers. When people are in the public eye or working in tv or radio these things happen very often. So it happened to the president. He didn't hit the button and launch a nuclear bomb into Russia. He just made silly blunder. Let's get over this.

So. It's an honest living. Probably, more honest than any lawyer or politician. Elitist snob. This is why nobody with any intelligence buys your "All for the little guy and common man" bullshit. In truth, you despise the working class.

What's wrong with achievement based elitism? We do it all the time. For instance, the Steelers are elite, the Redskins are not. This cannot be disputed, at least until next season. What a man does by dint of his own abilities, hard work and knowledge is what makes him elite. What Bush did was by accident of birth. Or, as Ann Richards once said, "He was born of 3rd base and thought he had hit a triple."

I'm not defending Bush's family ties. I take umbrage that a slimy lawyer fuck would compare Obama and Bush to an honest hard working manager of a department at Wal-Mart.

No one's whining, ass clown, just pointing out the obvious: Reagan was senile when he came into office. By the time he left (being grilled by a prosecutor, you'll recall) he wasn't lying when he claimed he couldn't remember anything. And beyond tedious anecdotes from his Hollywood days, the Gipper never issued an unscripted utterance as president. And as for the fucking Chimp, Obama, despite his slightly overly managed speeches, easily makes him look like the arrogant, moronic, and devious little prick he is. Hey, you're a prick too!

Nowhere did I impugn the integrity of a Wal-Mart department manager. My comparison of Bush with a Wal-Mart department manager was merely to point out that in a purely merit-based society, that's about as far as Bush's abilities would take him. If anything, I gave Bush the benefit of the doubt in that regard.
Btw, I'm somewhat surprised that you, of all people, are on an anti-Bush kick these days. Better late than never, I suppose.

Well aren't you special. The University system needs you. You obviously know more than Yale, Harvard, etc.. maybe you should write the future requirements for schools to be accredited.
"Anti-Bush" ? I defended Bush's decisions as they related to foreign policy. I do not believe "Bush Lied, People Died" - in fact I think that's a filthy, reprehensible, disgusting fucking notion and people holding it are sick in their head. Prior to 9-11, I was not a Bush fan. I was glad he won instead of Gore - that's about it. After 9-11 I gave him the benefit of the doubt that his decisions were being made in the best interests of the country - again, as they related to Iraq and Afghanistan, and fighting terrorists. I am glad we had Bush from 2004-2008 instead of Kerry, that's about it. I think he fell way short on the border, I think the two border patrol officers should have received a full pardon, I think Scooter Libby should have received a full pardon.
Finally, his actions just prior to leaving in regards to TARP - lend creedence, in my opinion, to Bush being part of this "Ivy League" fraternity of New World Order freaks who seek to further socialize the U.S. and erode U.S. Sovereignty.
As for Obama, I don't share in the notion that he's an "Affirmative Action" benefactor. I believe he earned his credentials. I respect that. I respect his self discipline. I respect his mind. I respect his charisma.
Just because I respect and admire SOME of his qualities doesn't mean I can't think that he is nothing more than a power hungry, ambitious, narcissist. If you think this cat is out for anything more than "His Book, His Movie, His Story", you're nuts. I am concerned, just as much concerned, about where he is leading this country. I trust him a little less than I trusted Bush, which is scary.
