Obama’s roaming teleprompter

I have not, at least that I can remember, ever set foot in a rodeo ring. The closest I’ve ever come to one was during a trip to Oklahoma City where a bunch of co-workers somehow convinced me to go with them to Club Rodeo – a cross between a country western bar and a rodeo. Its one of those things you can only find in Oklahoma and makes no sense unless you’ve been there.

Even with my limited understanding of rodeos, I’m pretty sure a TelePrompTer is not standard equipment for the ring. Well, add the prompter to the list of equipment carted around by Team Obama roadies.

For the record, a TelePrompTer is not at home where the buffaloes, wild bulls, and bucking broncos roam.

Ummm, Barry, one of these days you’re gonna have to get a handle on this whole extemporaneous speaking thing. It’s fine by me if you wait until sometime in December to do so.

    His now infamous speech that included the lipstick on a pig comment was lifted right off a political cartoon.

    At least Joe Biden doesn’t use a speech writer….he reads old speeches….copy, paste, PRESTO!

    This reflects the new campaign slogan: “Change we can read right off the tele-prompter”

  • B-Kooky

    Those are not teleprompter screens, they are light shields to keep the bright glow of Obama from blinding his flock.

    And this is the guy who is supposed to be a great speaker… as long as he’s reading it.

    It’s pretty comical that he’s had so many gaffes lately that his campaign finally said, “Enough! If you can’t open your mouth without sticking your foot in it, you’re going to have read your speech word for word!” Well, at least that’s the scenario I have imagined.
