Obama and His Crutch

Wow. The man can't even say his true feelings without having to use a teleprompter... while speaking to that teleprompter.

Sure, every president has used a teleprompter when giving the State of the Union or a lengthy speech as he would give at the national convention. However, Obama uses it for opening statements at a press conference. David Axelrod or Rahm "Stinky Fish" Emmanuel is sitting behind the curtains playing the all-powerful Wizard and feeding the responses to him via the teleprompter.

He will never look straight forward except for a fraction of a second as he is looking from one teleprompter (on the right) to the other teleprompter (on the left). Sure, he made campaign appearances (including the debates) without using a teleprompter, and boy, did it show!

He stammered, and hemmed and hawed like Mel Tillis trying to recite the entire 40,000+ page tax code. With the device in front of him, Obama is very articulate. Without it he is a blithering idiot.

Oh, I did happen to see a clip of the guy who is the "Internet Obama" or something, on "The Today Show." He did a very good voice impression of the president and explained that he has a lot of "ums" and "ahs" and stammering because - and get this - "he is very pensive."

"Pensive," for those of you who are government-educated* means "expressing thoughtfulness" or "deep in thought." Oh, okay, I get it. This man, nay, this Messiah has such an abundance of knowledge and answers to everything he gets muddled as he flips through his mental Rolodex to locate the proper response. Wow. Isn't he just wonderful? Now, please excuse me while I go regurgitate my breakfast.

* I , too, was government-educated, but I received an outstanding education in the state of Virginia -birthplace of our nation - plus my parents would correct any propaganda the teachers would try to peddle.
