I'll accept your apology, but you have to offer it first.I'm not offering an apology.You jumped on the right wing meme of 'Obama used a teleprompter to talk to school kids bangwagon', and I proved you wrong, so you can't take it.You tried to play cute with the teleprompter thing and with one picture you're stuttering and puttering because you know in your heart that ALL THREE republicans in your picture look more dignified and presidential than Obama did in that stupid planned and posed for picture that shows just how out of touch he and his staff are.I guess dignified and presidential are in the eyes of the beholder.You KNOW it looks stupid and you KNOW it was a planned photo-op, and you are STILL trying to make the case that he is anything other than incompetentIn case you didn't notice, I'm the one who called it a photo-op.Now let's pretend that Obama is the first president who ever went to a location outside the WH for a photo-op, shall we?Were they all incompetent, or just him?Obama does the same things that all other presidents have done. But for some reason it drives you right wingers nuts.That's funny, I just googled 'Obama stupid teleprompter' in images and it came up first page.I told you to Google 'Obama uses teleprompter to speak to school kids' (not on Google images).The first source is the Weekly Standard debunking that right wing claim:The conservative blogosphere is buzzing this morning about news that President Obama relied on a teleprompter for his remarks to students at the Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia. And it would surely be funny if he had. But it doesn't appear that he did.I can't believe I'm missing the Grammys for this.One more thing.September 11, 2001 - 8:15 AM: President Bush Prolongs Briefing about Planned School VisitSandy Kress, President Bush’s unpaid education adviser, meets with Bush in his hotel on Longboat Key, Florida, to brief him on their planned 9 a.m. visit to the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in nearby Sarasota. With them are Secretary of Education Rod Paige, Bush’s senior adviser Karl Rove, and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card. Kress goes over some key points for the talk Bush is due to give to the press after reading with the students at the school.9/11 TimelineBush was scheduled to give a talk to the press promoting his proposed education bill at the school where he read My Pet Goat to the kids on 9/11.Geeez, doesn't that seem eerily similar to what Obama did at the Graham Road Elementary School?I wonder if they had to clear some desks out of a classroom to make room for all the press?A perfect illustration of Bush's elitist reputation. Chuck: That picture is a perfect illustration of Obama's elitist reputation. (and Liberal hypocrisy)He causes a school to empty a classroom to provide a photo-op for what was basically a press release sigifying another one of his failed policies,,,,, Edited by MistyBlue, 12 February 2012 - 09:22 PM.
