http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/06/us...ml?_r=1&ref=us President Sticks to the Script, With a Little Help By PETER BAKER Published: March 5, 2009 WASHINGTON ? As he introduced his new choice for secretary of health and human services in the East Room this week, President Obama turned his head from right to left, but he was not looking at the audience. He was reading from two teleprompters strategically set up outside the tight television camera shot. When he was done, the teleprompters quietly began retracting down to the floor. As she stepped forward to make her remarks, the nominee, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, seemed momentarily surprised. ?Don?t mind the little... ,? Mr. Obama said with a smile. ?It?s disappearing!? she said, jokingly. Presidents have been using teleprompters for more than half a century, but none have relied on them as extensively as Mr. Obama has so far. While presidents typically have used them for their most important speeches ? an inaugural, State of the Union or Oval Office address ? Mr. Obama uses them for routine announcements and even for the opening statement of his only news conference so far. He used them during a visit to a Caterpillar plant in Peoria, Ill. He used them to make brief remarks opening his ?fiscal responsibility summit.? He used them to discuss endangered species, even recalling a visit to national parks as an 11-year-old. ?That was an experience I will never forget,? he said, reading from the teleprompter.

I didn't think any far leftist would comment on Mr. Obama's drug consumption.

a part of me almost , nearly has a bit of empathetic symetry with people who cling to crumbs of hope that some of the ridiculous,almost sociopatic accusations they hurl at PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA find traction.
well goody, 8 years of pipe suction on the cheerleader has cleary vaporized any synapse capacity,all but the minimum required to keep from having near constant apneal events on an hourly basis

If only Bush had attended the "No Child Left Behind" program.
But then, having been a drunk most of his life, maybe mama Bush should have hidden the Wild Turkey during those formative years.
Damn if Kennedy had sponsored a "no child without a father bill" Obama might have felt more confident in public and could have thrown those karoke like machines away.

Can you say "Chief Justice Roberts"? If he had a prompter instead of trying to memorize that one paragraph of The Constitution during the inauguration, he wouldn't have muffed his one appearance in American history.

Below are 13 pages of "Bush-isms". When it comes to dumb...Well, lets just say I got over 178,000 hits and let it go at that.

Please. Let's refrain from the stereotypical. You don't see anyone posting that without a brain, Bush is no more than a Garden Gnome, do ya?![]:)](http://boards.hbo.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif)

since Obama said he inhaled frequently I can see why he would need a teleprompter.
