Teleprompter vs Bush-isms?

[VampElvis]

I've had a hard day damn it.........

Yeah, well, I had to listen to NPR!

 

[Kelly]

lol...my day beats yours...

 

[VampElvis]

It got worse. Had to take my 2-year old to the ER and, lacking my teleprompter, I couldn't recall his social. Luckily the wife could - and even more lucky we arrested the reaction and were able to bring him home tonight. Apparently he's suddenly allergic to ants......

Well, I'm glad everything worked out for your little one...

He's on Leno right now. I assume teleprompter free. He isn't as good. Thee are a lot of "uhhs," and "and...and...ands" Not nearly as charasmatic as he is with it, but its actually a refreshing change.

I'd still hit it.

 

[Handsome Rob]

I'd wager Obama's teleprompter wouldn't have made that crack about the Special Olympics.

 

[Kelly]

I didn't watch it, was it kept in there, or edited out?

I have no problems with his interviews in that manner. I love his interviews with his wife, they are funny....because I actually think she's better in interviews than he is, and he lets her speak the most. That's cool to me.

It was in when I watched it.

Well, good for NBC, I'm alittle surprised, but then again, maybe they didn't think it was a big deal.....which is fine.

You mean he spoke like everyone else!?!?! THE HORROR!

In all seriousness, it was a good appearance on Leno. (And yeah, the special Olympics crack was in there when I saw it. You had to really listen for it though as there was applause shortly before he said it.)

Frankly...I LIKED the fact our previous president has quarks...

Me, too. Subatomic particles are a characteristic that I really appreciate in a president.

 

[chaseter]

Welp...I like how my question I posed was highlighted this week on Leno. Thanks television

Shocking.

Bush used a teleprompter too.

Wow.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Bush is a "unique" speaker so I'm not surprised.


Obama's uh and ums are his version of Bushisms.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Which are normal peoples version of thinking of what you will say next.

So, it passable.

But making up words, and creating new hybrid words out of thin air...is...something different all together.

You know, I don't care how Obama does it, Teleprompter, Reading it from the podium or pulling the speech up to his face and reads it, It doesn't matter how he gets the info out, It's WHAT he says that's important. All this crap about him reading from the teleprompter, Something EVERY president has done since they invented the dumb thing, is just more nit-picking from the anti-Obama crowd.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yup.

Quite sad, because they've got nothing to attack so...they attack him using a teleprompter??

Some of the people attacking him for it, themselves use teleprompters as they're spewing it on they're tv show.

Obama's use of teleprompter is unprecedented.

Now I do not criticize Obama for this, but to act like that is not the case is simply incorrect.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Eh...it's funny to hear it. It's such a strange criticism I think.

 

[StorminNorman]

People make strange criticisms all the time.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

True.

But, this one seems...somehow stranger, when I KNOW the guy on my TV screen is reading from one too.

And then I think of the Joker and understand it's all one big joke.

 

[souvlaki]

They all use teleprompters. Even "The Great Communicator".

 

[StorminNorman]

No one is complaining about Obama's using a teleprompter in obvious situations (like the picture above). Obama is criticized for using a teleprompter in bizarre situations - like addressing a rally.
