Obama Thanks Himself In Teleprompter Meltdown
LOL!!!! Check out the news article I am pasting a link to below. A teleprompter malfunction caused President Obama to thank himself and the Irish Prime Minister to read word for word a speech Obama had just given.

Remember the good ole days when all Ronald Reagan needed was 3x5 index cards with notes to give a great speech?

"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.

"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."

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.

Re: Obama Thanks Himself In Teleprompter Meltdown
That is so funny. If he's so brilliant, why can't he memorize his speeches, or speak from cue cards?

Re: Obama Thanks Himself In Teleprompter Meltdown
It sounds to me like Obama was being very kind and gracious to the Irish Prime Minister by pretending to read a speech that the Irish PM should have given if the teleprompter had put up the appropriate speech. He was making light of an embarrassing situation.
Quote:
But Cowen was 20 seconds into his second address when it dawned on him that he was giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
Cowen stopped and looked back at the president to say, "That's your speech."
Obama laughed and returned to the podium to offer what might have been Cowen's remarks. In doing so, President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over.

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.

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

If you have a close up camera, you can have it mounted on the camera. Every one sees the stand that supports the teleprompter.
