President Obama's speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning hit a brief snag when Obama got ahead of his teleprompter script.

Laying his plan for a President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks before realizing he had already introduced them, earlier in his speech.

"In addition to John...sorry...the...I just noticed I jumped the gun here," Obama said, pausing for several seconds as he looked at the prompter. "Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys."

The audience, which gave the president a warm reception, responded with a quiet laugh.

  • "The president who first inspired with great speeches on red and blue America now seems to lack the ability to communicate any sense of resolve for a program, or any realization of the urgency of what might befall us. The teleprompter he almost always uses symbolizes and compounds his emotional distance from his audience." --Mortimer Zuckerman, "Obama and the Competency Crisis," Wall Street Journal, Aug. 25, 2011

  • America's right-wing rifle and bible clinging European-American majority soon to be minority needs a dumb person like George W Bush or Sarah Palin as a puppet President they can identify with, to represent the secret powers that have always run the American Empire.

  • ASK ME ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!! 24/7!!!!

    WAKE UP BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! WE WILL OVERCOME.!! STOP THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!!

  • Hmm well then why not grow a brian, stop being a puppet for your controllers and DITCH THE TELEPROMPTER?

  • Wow so if I don't like Obama my only alternative is to go back to Republican control? Yeah.. that was so much better. How about NIETHER? Kind of like pre-war Germany. You could chose between the National Socialists and the International Socialists... those are some great options there. Which color jump suit would you like to wear in prison?

  • The leader of a nation should be able to deliver a speech off the top of his head because he should be passionate about the cause, okay have some notes to help remember figures but having writers create the speech for Obama to read?

  • People write speeches for Obama, all he has to do is stand on the mark, smile and deliver the lines. He is no more than a glorified actor.

    The real policy makers are the groups like bilderburg, Trilateral commission, council on foreign relations, club of rome, the UN, the EU and bankers like the Rothschilds and rockefellers.

    Forget skin colour, look beyond that and see the same freedom grabbing policies of the Bush era, just cleverly packaged with a shiny new black face.

  • This dipwad has had more experience reading teleprompters than a 60 year old mechanic has changing oil. It's his life, his brains, his everything. He even messes up reading a big screen teleprompter. Heres one thing that helps. 1. Know what you are reading, 2 prepare your own speeches, 3 be able to ad-lib if something goes wrong. Lets face it, he would probably read " my bologna has a first name" if it appeared on his teleprompter.
