"Although used for more than half a century, the device was previously employed mainly for set-piece speeches. The current President, however, often uses them for making small introductory statements at the beginning of press conferences.
On this occasion, as a laughing Mr Obama returned to the podium, the script was belatedly switched over to the Taoiseach’s text ? leaving Mr Obama inadvertently thanking himself for inviting everyone, to further laughter. “First, I’d like to say thank you to President Obama!” the President said."

Not exactly thread worthy, considering our last President couldn’t talk WITH a prompter .[/quote]
That fucking retard needed a goddamn hand puppet show to understand why he was giving the speech in the first place.
They should have gone to just a regular old trailer park, grabbed the first dude underneath a car or truck, with a mullet, and told him, “You sir are going to be the President of the United States of America.” And daddy sent him to Yale! Enough on that. Well thats a first for Mr. “I could sell you your own shoe”

Neither should people who participate in the ‘Special Olympics’, since Obama holds those folks in low regard, as expressed on Leno.
As incompetent as Obama, Geithner, Gates, Rahm-bo and the rest of these clowns are, maybe we could call it the ‘Special Olympics’ White House.
