It really gets to a point that it's hard to believe, doesn't it? And if it weren't so frightening for our country, it really would be hysterically funny. Because the one thing we thought we had was someone who could at least impress our overseas neighbors with his rhetoric. But he can't even do that!!! If the prompter doesn't run smoothly, he stutters and stammers.

Now I better understand the absolute necessity for the Blackberry. If he doesn't have a teleprompter close by, the words can always flash across his Blackberry.

Just when you think it can't get any more pathetic. And I thought maybe now would be a good time for proof to finally surface that the man can't legally be President since he wasn't born here.

But then I thought ..... OMG, wouldn't that mean President Biden???

P.S. Plannine, your links take spin to a new level. But if you want to buy that hype, be my guest.

3 different sources, here's a fourth.

Cowen White House speech follows Obama lines - The Irish Times - Wed, Mar 18, 2009

The Guardian UK, Irish Times, AP and Associated Content, all spinning?

Even FoxNews has changed their story from what they reported on TV earlier.......to a lighter AP version

A teleprompt blunder has led to Barack Obama thanking himself in a speech at the White House in a St Patrick's Day celebration.

actually, he is a horrible speaker without the teleprompter. His impromptu speaches and answers to questions not given in advance have been horrible.
Maybe we need to find a way to make fun of him the way all the cartoons maybe W into curious George!

I saw this clip last night... hilarious! He is so dependent on that thing... God help him if the guy running it ever decides to PURPOSELY screw him up.

Too funny.

"I'd like to thank President Obama"

Then again, maybe it was the TELEPROMPTER thanking him for his new fame.

You have to give him credit for trying to use the audience as a delay tactic while the Prompter Jockey gets it going again....
