Very interesting indeed!

I'm a little slow, but I assume Obambam is standing on the Constitution... or is it the Bill of Rights? Either way, it's an accurate depiction of our current government.

Ummmm, where's his teleprompter?

That is why his mouth is so tightly closed. He is afraid to speak without it.

Check out the applause from Slick Willie and the Roosevelts

A quick check shows Reagan (The Great Orator) used a teleprompter, so did George W. Bush and so does Sarah Palin. I never have, preferring PowerPoint slides.

Obambam has spoken two or three times without a prompter. And each time, he screwed it up with something stupid. His handlers (also known as Adults) will not allow him to get within range of a microphone without pre-scripted "dialog".
He's called the Teleprompter King for a very good reason. In your post, you said used a telprompter.... Obambam RELIES on one.
:blah:

The difference between Reagan, Dubya, and Sara P. is that they can speak without a teleprompter without saying uh every five seconds.

Great painting. Thanks for posting it.

Absolute truth here. Reagan earned his reputatin as a Great Orater by his ability to speak contemporaneously with fluidity and ease. Obama is not intelligent/well spoken enough to order food in a west Texas truckstop hash house.

Obama is a brilliant man. The reason he stumbles without his teleprompted prepared script is because he is a LIAR :blah: and the words are not flowing out of a good heart like they were with Reagan. Obama is one thing: he is a Marxist revolutionary who intends to fundamentally change America into a European style socialist government. Everything that he does is an ACT, using the Alinsky method and playing the role of "community organizer" that Alinsky defined for the Marxist revolutionary in his book "Rules for Radicals". Only thing is, I don't think Alinsky ever dreamed of someone playing that role all the way to the White House! :eek: That took some very twisted brilliance!

That's the problem with theorists. If their pet theory ever made it from the book or lecture hall into the uncontrolled real world, all hell breaks loose. Little concepts like, greed, ambition, power and ignorance all influence the concept and turn it into the failed policies we fought in two world wars and countless police actions.
I guess we're doomed to keep trying these moronic political experiments as long as we have uneducated people with voting rights.

Another 2 cents hits the table.:cool:

Dubya is infamous for his gaffes. He was as articulate as The Situation from Jersey Shore.

Sarah Palin was eaten alive by Katie Curic like no one ever before or since.

Check out Obama without a script with Matt Lauer last Sunday or with Bill O'Reilly a year earlier. No teleprompter, no script.

FYI, I'm not a supporter of Obama, just calling out BS when I hear it. It's dishonest to call him the teleprompter President when ALL his predecessors used one.

It's one thing to use a teleprompter to remember the truth you want to say. It's another entirely to remember the lies your sharing so the story stays straight.
