Obama Uses Teleprompters During Speech At Elementary School

[golyg]

What a disgrace!

[tooele526]

Obama is just a puppet. Someone else is thinking for him, He has no thoughts of his own. That's why he can't talk without the teleprompter.

[djjk12]

Dummy. I bet he was a affirmative action in school too. What a mistake this was a slimy politician. 

[C0cainut]

Wow. He so stupid. The kids are smarter than him.

[DigESource]

What teleprompter?



[DxHuman]

*They're

trying to ridicule someone when you can't even spell right just makes you look stupid.

[86THECRITIC]

This is an inaccurate description. He used the teleprompters while talking to the press about his race to the top program., not while talking to the kids

[DivineFellowship]

Sad!

[Rogelle]

I read that he used them too at a rodeo event. But really? I wouldn't be worried speaking to children. How about just being himself; using common sense and his own words?

[iSuperN0VA]

what's the fucking deal?

[cw6983]

he would have been screwed if the kids started asking him questions..

[z3ko]

he cant even memorize one sentence before looking at the text again :) 

[hawkermustang]

This fool looks like a retard reading his prompter! He looks left then right then left and right. The Dummy looks like he is watching a tennis match! hahahaha

[bluegsp]

I love the fact that not only does he need a teleprompter, but he brings a podium with the presidential seal. XD, I'll bet those children were really impressed!

This guy is really pathetic. XD

[RavenMichaels]

He was doing some kind of press conference when he was using the prompter. He never used it to talk to kids. Its an undeniable fact. Just like its a fact that he has lead the Pledge of Allegiance with his hand on his heart, and just like its a fact that he he never said he would side with Muslims "should the political winds shift in an ugly direction" in the context that you people claim.

But, its not like Conservatives care about facts anyway...

[halcyon0830]

He talked to the students WITHOUT THE TELE-PROMPTER in the room to his right.

Now he is using the Tele-prompter to make a speech to the media.

[shadoDaishi]

ok i admit it was pretty fucked up that he had all of that to talk to kintergardeners and even that podium was a little much. but think about it. todays society is ready to ridicule famous people even for the tiniest things they say. they have to always be politically correct and careful, so in retrospect you cant really blame him. maybe a sheet of paper would have been better but cmon guys. let it go . im not saying i like obama or hate him btw im just makin a point

[ILuvOmarionG]

This is sad. The kids were probably thinking wtf those huge glass screens were...

[pissingpeopleoff109]

he cant function without it

[ANls13]

was the podium with the presidents seal necessary? Man this guy is arrogant

[StealthSteez]

Ron Paul doesn't need a tele promter...ever

[bret0n]

"Obama, their elementary school kids."

Er.... and I would bet that most of them could pick out the error in that sentence before even you could.

[neveruse513]

Criticizing Obama with failed grammar for using a teleprompter in a classroom made me lol... Thanks, PBN.

[k3304]

Barack Obama's college records have been sealed !

[62willie]

@k3304 Presadent Obama is the greatest man on earth, and he will turn the United States around and make it a great place to live, like South Africa

[NFriction]

Well, if this president thing doesn't pan out, he can still fall back on doing books on tape!

[Ipetratz]

I wonder if the kids use teleprompters to recite their essays.

[rocketlauncher2]

He was pretty formal. He brought his entire fucking set to talk to them..

[furrfurr]

he's not as smart as people thought.

[peterlows]

LMAO..Obama couldn't wipe his nasty ass without the teleprompter telling him to pull the toilet paper off the roll and do a frontal wipe and then stand up look down at the first turd,give a fake smile and flush..I hope it tells him to wash his hands afterward.

[KMAObama]

Is obama smarter than a 3rd grader? According to what he has done, hell no.

The man sounds like an idiot without his teleprompter.

[MsWanderer1]

LOL; Of course he used a teleprompter; he didn't want to sound like a fool in front of so many people that are so much smarter than him!

[8161964mc]

michelle obama is a drag queen named ru paul

[TylerWestyn]

My cat and my ferret don't need a teleprompter when they do a speech at a pet conference.

[thelema3131]

reall?

[beaglenuts55]

What an insecure idiot. I'm sure any one of those children could have gotten up and made a wonderful speech without a teleprompter. Obama can't speak from the heart because he doesn't have one. Folks-if Obama's coming to your child's school any time soon, I'd call in sick. This guy is NOT the role model you'd want your child to see.

[ImWilson1]

LOL are you that gullible he is speaking to the press not to kids. This is after he had met with the kids he then went to another room where they set up for a press meeting.

[autoad]

I thought Obama was an effective speaker. I was wrong. He's an effective reader. I thought Dan Quale was bad for the "Potatogate" but this beats Quale! Imagine...the President needing a teleprompter to speak (read) to elementary school children!

[claypittman]

@autoad

Quayle*.

[autoad]

OMG!! Thanks for the correction!

[autoad]

@claypittman Here's a famous Obama blunder where he was reading from the teleprompter. "Corpse man" . He's the Commander in Chief and can't pronounce the name "Corpsman". It's pronounced "Core Man" And he mispronounced it twice. Wow. There's intellect.

[AlecBoy006]

He didn't use the teleprompter to talk to the children. He used it after to talk to the media.

[AGS1121]

This guy can't speak without a teleprompter. Listen to him without one in front of him and you'll understand. This clip is so comical.

[TruthSeekingHoosier]

I guess it's appropriate to have an idiot speak for you since you want someone to reflect what you are.

Not only that it's a fair bet that Palin actually wrote her own notes. We really don't know who's putting the words in the President's mouth. You know he can't be writing it himself when he doesn't even pronounce words correctly. i.e. He pronounced corpsman as corpse-man.

[TruthSeekingHoosier]

This is even funnier now that press secretary Gibbs just mocked Sarah Palin for using notes during her speech at the Teabag Convention.

OBAMA...for those who thought it couldn't get worse!

[diviamush]

@TruthSeekingHoosier

Gibbs is in Ass, He should be the last person to mock or crticize anyone

[brownocasio]

FOR PEOPLE THAT Believe that Obama used a Teleprompter to speak with 6th graders...go to Factcheck. O R G and research the truth.

[knightweiser]

get real. you're so blinded by your love for this failure. He is over-reliant on the teleprompter. It's ok to use note cards or a teleprompter to stay on cue, but not to read it word for word. If he knew half of what he was talking about he would be able to step away from the podium and do it. FACT. He has appeared on TV more than any other president to push his socialist agenda. In the words of Rahm Emanuel, retarded.

[ImWilson1]

Why do you hate our Military so much?

[diviamush]

@brownocasio

denial- The video is clear my friend Personally I feel there's been a little to much made of the whole teleprompter Obama issue however you must admit needing it to talk to 6th graders is funny

[brownocasio]

Well your ignorance is affirmative. So big deal. I don't even know why I waste my time with people that hear false rumors and spread them around as if they can trump out truth from fiction. I will just hope that people do their own research and discover facts for themselves rather than spew rumors that they heard some Bozo named Limbaugh say.

[ImWilson1]

Another LOL

LOL are you that gullible he is speaking to the press not to kids. This is after he had met with the kids he then went to another room where they set up for a press meeting.

Look at the large cameras them kids are holding.

[JustTheFax1]

From the description:

"Obama, their elementary school kids. Did you really need The Teleprompter? "

1. Your video is showing him talking to the media. When he was talking to the kids, there was no podium or teleprompter.

2. Who cares if he's using a teleprompter or note cards?

3. Speaking of elementary school, it should be "THEY'RE elementary school kids." Perhaps you should try more studying and less propaganda, eh?

[ekajeht]

Are you blind ?

Or are you kissing oba-mao's ass so deep you can't see whats going on?

He can't speak on his own even to grade school kids!

I just hope he didn't try to teach them anything about the (corpse-men)

LOL what a jerk!

[JustTheFax1]

No, I'm not blind. But apparently you are ignorant, so allow me to educate you:

The clip above is taken from a much longer event. You can find longer versions of it all over Youtube. It very clearly shows two scenes. THE FIRST is him walking into a 6th grade class, and sitting down on a stool to talk to them. THE SECOND is in a different room talking to the media in front of a podium.

Are you so blinded by your own hate that you can't see basic facts beyond some childish name calling?

[brownocasio]

@ekajeht Your ignorance is dribbling...careful it will stain your shirt. Get a bib.

[ImWilson1]

LOL are you that gullible he is speaking to the press not to kids. This is after he had met with the kids he then went to another room where they set up for a press meeting.

Look at the start of this video do you think kids would be holding those big ass cameras?

[TonyCook2012]

thats one dumb fucking light skinned negro with no discernible negro dialect.

[ImWilson1]

I guess you graduated from Harvard Law?

[JamesB21a]

This is unfair. If Bush had done this, he would have been ridiculed in the media.

[Clestae]

pfft. so un-called for.

[jacmo55]

Boy, you can't take it when the shoe is on the other foot

He uses a teleprompter because he stutters and stammers without it

Regardless of who he is talking to, the kids were in the room

If Bush would have done this or said he visited 57 states it would have been headline news

Obama is who he is, read his book, you might learn something about your beloved

[inkydinkydooky]

It's about time that someone like jacmo55hit the nail right on the head. The "57 states" thing was hardly mentioned by anyone. Every other word that comes out of Obama's and Gibb's mouths is uuuuuhhhhhhh without a teleprompter. This guy couldn't hold the former president's jock strap when it comes to intelligence.

[shalcall]

Yeah, because this speech was really aimed at elementary school kids.

Some of you conservatives are ridiculous.

[knightweiser]

@shalcall

at least conservatives can think on their feet and use logic + facts to make decisions. My guess is you cant think without cnn telling you what to think

[shalcall]

"at least conservatives can think on their feet and use logic?"

wtf does that have to do with this video or my comment? People are criticizing Obama for using a teleprompter at a school, as if he was giving a speech directed at the students of the school.

Those people that are criticizing him for this are not using logic and clearly can't think on their feet or otherwise.

[knightweiser]

Not quite. People criticized Bush when he didn't use a teleprompter because he would occasionally stumble on his words. The media is a double standard and your mind is obviously the victim.

[shalcall]

I'm having a hard time remember anyone criticizing Bush for NOT using a teleprompter. I do remember a lot of people making fun of him when he fucked up words even though a teleprompter was right in front of him.

[hockeyyismylife]

@shalcall too bad he wasn't staring at it the entire time and actually tried to use his own original thoughts. obama couldn't even pronounce the word "corps," even though that was right in front of him on a teleprompter. yet no one talks about it because the media is liberally monopolized, get a brain. proves obama just reads like a robot.

[shalcall]

@hockeyyismylife let me give you the standard liberal response, since you're not interested in actual political discussion. RACISM!

I don't actually believe that. I don't know you. But if you're going to throw around ad hominems based on nothing but the mispronunciation of a word, I guess I can do the same.

[hockeyyismylife]

@shalcall Moron, you were trying to defend obamas mistakes by bush's mistakes. A. that doesn't work, obama makes a mistake, its STILL a mistake B. How do you know I'm not interested in a political discussion, you OBVIOUSLY weren't interested either. How does you trying to defend bush count as a legitimate Political factual position and/or argument. Yeah, shut the fuck up. I was just saying how dumb your statement was. If you start talking policies, well I'll fry you up on that too. Seeya fool.

[hockeyyismylife]

@shalcall I was drawing the exact conclusion about Obama just like you tried to nick Bush for mispronunciation even though he had a teleprompter, you really don't know when you are being made a fool do you? And I bet you just learned the term "ad hominem" in your 10th grade English class and now are trying to pass that off as intelligence in a debate that doesn't require it. When it comes down to facts I was making the exact argument you made for the other side and your too dumb to realize it.

[eche73]

nothing political, but Bush was retarded!

[SonofPencilHead]

Actually, he was pretty intelligent. Outperformed Kerry on standardized tests.

Oh, and went to Yale.

[diviamush]

Help me out with your thought process. I just googled Obamas GPA and he has refused to release it.

What are you basing your comment on

[SonofPencilHead]

@diviamush I was, of course, referring to Dubya. :D

Ol' Barry probably has decent wattage, but like you said, he's sealed everything, so we'll never know.

[diviamush]

@eche73

Eche73 the real retard here is you.

Why can't you comment on the video, stick to the topic at hand.

[eche73]

Nope! you are retarded! The only people who like Bush are greedy evil bastards!

I must add I am also disappointed in Obama too... looks like he's clueless... maybe he will get lucky and turn things around... I saw him two weeks ago, he was on some str8 PR shit... what a damn shame!

[8161964mc]

we should start calling him --- OBAMAO,THE AMAZING MARXIST PIG!

[ImWilson1]

Why?

[Zirious23]

u guys r dumb have u ever spoke to an audience before ur supposed 2 look over their heads u just wanna find some flaw in Obama that u cant find. hes not even directing his speech at the elementary kids hes talking to adults interested that school and u wouldnt expect for elementary to knows that except for fifth gradrs. always lookin for one flaw and bush was the one who put us in iraq after "afganistan" attacked at 9/11

[pieceomeat]

Reading your post leads me to believe that you might actually be crying on your keyboard and sitting in a puddle of pee. Lighten up...it's just jokes.

[knightweiser]

@Zirious23

actually, i do presentations all the time for my job. you're supposed to look people in the eyes to make them feel like you're talking to them. and you should be able to do this without notecards or teleprompters because as the speaker, you're expected to know what you're talking about. Obama doesn't know anything, thus the use of teleprompters to address 6th graders.

[2016or6]

You obviously don't know anything if the best you can do is crticize Obama for using a teleprompter. This was a prepared speech that was given AT an elementary school with the press in attendance.

Presidents have used teleprompters for years. What's the big deal?

[brownocasio]

@knightweiser Did Obama use a teleprompter when he eviscerated the GOP during the Q&A? The answer is NO. Find a factual basis if you think he did.

[knightweiser]

was that when he cried like a bitch because he wont be able to pass his nazi healthcare plan?

[ekajeht]

Knightweiser-I think you are loseing here .

All you have to back your side up is FACTS!

Remember who you are talking to.

A bunch of blind obo-boy worshipers.

You can't win sheeple over with facts when they have thier lipps planted so deep on obo's ass

[brownocasio]

@knightweiser Oh maybe you guys are right! I remember now...America was in perfect shape at the end of Bush's 2nd term. Over his 8 years his plutocratic scheme that shifted millions of Americans' money into several hundred corporations worked beautifully! The economy TANKED and the housing market CRASHED. SCORE! (Obama has actually only had 8 months to get us where we are now...and the country is rebounding successfully). PROGRESS AND CHANGE HAPPENS GRADUALLY NOT IN ONE YEAR

[diviamush]

Brownocasio-

True housing market crashed but how is that Bushs fault?

You familiar with the sub prime mortgage crisis ?? Basically an affirmative action Goverment housing loan lender program set up by Clinton run by Barnie Frank?

Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac.

Obamas done nothing since taking office

[diviamush]

@brownocasio

What were you watching, He did horrible during the q&a.

All he did was bitch and complain and tell people see it my way or your a bad person,

Spoken like a true dictator

[brownocasio]

@diviamush NO...If you had listened with a little bit of intelligence you would have noticed Obama totally DEBUNKED most of the GOP's lies and assertions at the debate with FACT. His point was UNITY because the whole year was wasted with bickering from BOTH sides. THAT'S what a true leader does and THAT'S why he is the President. I will assume you are against the Republicans working with him on the Jobs and Health care bills too. Working together is the best way.

[diviamush]

Just because YOU PUT THINGS IN CAPITAL LTRS DOES NOT MEAN YOU KNOW WHAT U R TALKING ABOUT, I'm an independant so I don't step with any party. Obama , Pelosi & Reid were trying to ram a health care bill the majority of Americans do not want. The whole thing was written behing closed doors as well as the bribes that were needed to get votes. Republicans and most americans don't like the hlth bill at it's present stage.

You can't see that u r either in denial or retarded. to quote Rham Emanuel

[MotionFrequency]

I'll work together with people that want to work for the better of our country. I can't work with people that want to do everything wrong and expect me to follow along with them. I'm here to make America better, not turn it into a demonic worshiping sanctuary. I didn't sign up to kill babies, promote gay perversion, tax everyone, spread lies about bills no one has even read, praise terrorists and make fun of Americans that have religious beliefs. I can't go along with this agenda and will NEVER!

[ImWilson1]

LOL are you that gullible he is speaking to the press not to kids. This is after he had met with the kids he then went to another room where they set up for a press meeting.

[knightweiser]

heres a flaw, 0r 12....

stimulus plan?FAIL

Cash for Clunkers? FAIL

Unemployment remains at 8%? FAIL...its over 10%

Approval rating over 50%?FAIL

Accurately pronounce Marine Corps? FAIL he said Marine corpse lol

Healthcare reform? FAIL

Open debates on C-SPAN? FAIL

Face it, your messiah prez is a liar. He will be booted from office in 2012.

[SonofPencilHead]

@Zirious23 Actually, you're supposed to make eye contact with random members of your audience, typically moving from side to side.

We've found plenty of flaws (saying, for instance, that there are 57+ states, Obamacare, etc.). We're just exploiting them now.

[Ryan120420]

I bet he can't recite the alphabet without a teleprompter.

[Exton1]

This guy is so dumb he needs a TelePrompTer for Elementary School kids. Had Bush done this the press would be showing it 24/7.

He reminds me of a bob-bit puppet. The kids are looking at his kneecaps and he is looking out into space. Oblabla is a National Disgrace.

[hobgoblinlkjfdsa]

at least hes not retarted lik bush

[gmco4]

not RETARDED like bush is that what you mean may you should use a teleprompter too. you have no idea what this moron would say because he never does without his teleprompter or written speeches. He is joke of a president and luckily gone in 3 more years if he doesnt bankrupt us by then.

[hobgoblinlkjfdsa]

Do you enjoy being a degenerate piece of human trash? You make me hate my life. Pathetic low class demented low, evil, and sick.

[gmco4]

I guess if you mean being smarter than you yes. What I do not like is paying for the lazy scum like you, you should hate your life, its what I say it can be by how much I sit and let my government give you that is mine you live off scraps stolen from me little by little taking my rights away from me and the rest of the dopes like me who work for a living, thats not fair and your idiot president just found out we are not standing for it anymore. sorry i guess you have to go to work too : )

[whitemanwaydownsouth]

no he retarded lik you.

[governmentslaves]

@hobgoblinlkjfdsa

I think he is worse than Bush. Without a teleprompter he sounds worse!

[bleekblock]

He is dumber than Bush

[8161964mc]

he is the poster boy for affirmative action and social advancement-but alas not quite ready for prime time

[governmentslaves]

@8161964mc

LMAO!!!

[CTSBeast]

SO what if the prompters were for the press? What idiot president has EVER needed prompters like this fraud?

That's right: NONE. BHO is a fraud, and now we have no excuse for saying otherwise.

[MClown69]

thats not even true. you are lying. google it if you don't believe me and look and see the real facts for yourself. he didn't use the telepropmters to talk to the kids. he used them to give a speech to tv reporters afterwards. repukes are sad. they try to make up all these stupid lies to trick ignorant people into voting republican.. HAHA!! you people are really grasping at straws.

[gmco4]

your an idiot, you can see him going back and forth on the but of coarse you probably think he a smart good president

[reevaluate2008]

Well he said it was one of Virginia's finest schools. So maybe he was afraid the kids were way smarter than him. He didn't want to make any mistakes. :)

[obamaisapieceofshit]

this fucking idiot prez just keeps getting more and more pathetic

[governmentslaves]

@obamaisapieceofshit

Obama said:

He would rather be a good one term president than a medeocre 2 term one.

What??

Are you back on the Coke Barry??

If you are good then shouldn't the people reelect you? Hmmm Good in your eyes isn't good in most Americans eyes huh?

[nanquan491]
