Re: Obama Thanks Himself In Teleprompter Meltdown

One of my (over-exuberant young Omaba fan) employees was SHOCKED to find out that he used a TelePrompter for his speeches.

She actually thought he was speaking from his heart and memory. She was bragging about how awesome he always did when he spoke. I meekly asked, "you do know he reads his speeches, right?" She didn't know.

He is famous for his attachement to the teleprompter. One speech he gave in colorado at a rodeo made it look wierd to the locals to have a teleprompter in the arena. Of course the cameras are required to not show it.

Actually the cameras always show it if you know what you are looking for. The only thing you see is rectangular piees of glass on a stand placed directly in front of the speaker (or mounted on a center camera) and then on the left and right (minimum of 3 total).

Only persons looking from the perspective of the speaker using the teleprompter sees the writing scrolling across it from a computer. From the opposite side of the glass you just see through the glass.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

LOL - correct. My smart college student thought that was bullet protection. Like those small pieces of Lucite would protect him.
