Teleprompter Falls and Biden Jokes: “What am I going to tell the president when I tell him his teleprompter is broken?”

That is funny.

The linked teleprompter blog is very funny.
Biden is gaffe-tastic and Obama is… off limits. Poor Joey B is going to have to spend some time alone in the bunker again to think about what he has said.

Quintessential Biden

Obama makes more gaffes than Biden.
And he is supposed to be so brilliant.
Too bad Biden was chosen to make Obama look good.
At least Biden is honest–Obama is a total fraud.

Cryos – Instead of generalizing with no detail, what is so disasterous? Where you in a coma the last 8 years? Our Pres. is busy fixing what Pres. Bush broke. What is wrong with that? Oh, forgot you lost!
Good joke Joe, we love ya!

=======================
Maybe repeating the “fixing Bushes mistakes” and “the last 8 years” helps you ignore reality; all the power to you. I don’t really care at this point what liberals simpletons think.
Ignore all the deceptions, hypocrisy, reversals, excuses to cover unnecessary overspending, etc. “It’s all Bush’s fault.”
If you are educated and have self respect you lose drastically in an Obama administration. Point blank. People who are governed by logic not ideals know exactly what I’m talking about.

The “forgot you lost” is the funniest thing. You don’t even realize we all lost.
As long as america can survive the disasterous fiscal policies and begin reversing american 3rd world economics in 2012 a democratic win is actually a good thing. It shows americans liberals are 100% about political posturing and are every bit as corrupt as everything they’ve accused republicans of. All these “principles” liberals seemed almost genuine about have proved to be a farce once in power. For example “bipartisanship” LOL.
The election and the post election childish attitude like a spoiled kid who had his toys taken away has shown most moderates to pay attention to liberal “values” about as much as the Charlie Brown teacher talking.
Be happy with your “win” in the short term. Hate to say it but Obama won’t do squat for your more than likely pathetic situation. He’ll run you around the greyhound track following a rabbit and you’ll end up in the same place you started.

Yes, this must be a slip from Biden that the president is actually a nefarious cyborg reliant on a prompter. Proof!

“People who are governed by logic not ideals know exactly what I’m talking about”
Right wingers are governed by logic?
ROFLMAO!

nick:”Since BO never has to answer questions except at planned events I’m convinced that most of the time he is simply reading–and not really focused on the topic.”
What are you talking about? President Obama has had so many press conferences, answering unscripted questions for over an hour, that the networks are complaining about losing ad revenue…

“Since BO never has to answer questions except at planned events”
While I think you cannot cast the Obama relationship with the press as a warm one, Obama has already given more press conferences in his first 3 months than Bush did in his first 3 years.

Biden could probably go on for days about that clown Obama. The way Obama uses that teleprompter is just plain weird. I can’t watch any of his speeches without thinking about him reading from the teleprompter while his head goes back and forth. Just plain weird!

The metronome-in-chief and the vice-gasbag. Two scary people and with all that power and our lives in their hands. If it weren’t so frightening, it would be funny.

I guess Obama will be paying for his next burger outting with pesos now!
100 days – 100% Trashed!

All presidents in recent years used the teleprompter. None has been as skilled at it as Obama. The man writes his own books, so he is obviously intellegent. I think the big deal made about it is to imply that he’s stupid, which carries racial overtones.
What other Harvard Law grads who taught constitutional law, and wrote two best-selling books, would be called a zero or stupid if he weren’t black?
Bush would have used it more, if he could actually read.

Missy, yes, all recent presidents have used teleprompters on occasion, but none have relied on it as frequently as he does. He does not even give short opening remarks without the crutch of a prompter, as opposed to written notes on a podium or memorizing a few lines. Ryan mentioned his prime-time press conference; remember that he used a prompter at the back of the room to read his opening remarks.
Teasing the president for relying on the teleprompter, or riding him about it, has nothing to do with racism. That charge is ridiculous. And as a professor who knows plenty of law school professors, I am not automatically impressed with his intellect because he taught constitutional law as an adjunct. You claim he wrote two books without help, but are we sure? I do not have strong feelings on the matter, but I do know that we have few other written materials from him to compare his books to, so we don’t know if his prose was punched up by a ghost writer. And there’s nothing wrong with using a ghost writer, in my opinion. Most politicians and other people whose fame derives from something other than their writing skill use them. John McCain acknowledged his as co-author of his many books, so I guess that doesn’t really count as a “ghost writer.” Both Clintons had co-writers. Maybe Obama did, maybe he didn’t. It would not diminish his intelligence to do so.
I suggest you tone down the defensive “that’s racist” charges. One can criticize the president without being a racist. And I notice you are quick to bash Bush– so it’s not that you respect the office and all those who hold it. Bush is also an intelligent man whose verbal boo-boos often derived from not using a teleprompter (and sometimes from the prompter, to be sure). Folks like you were quick to ridicule him for that. But when Obama makes similar mistakes because he relies on the words on the prompter– such as when he was introducing Sotomayor and said the Constitution was written “20 centuries ago”– it is a terrible offense if anyone points it out. The double standard is silly.
I think Joe Biden made a funny statement, and as my son often says, “it’s funny coz it’s true.”

What tickled me about Joe’s joke is that gossipy pseudo news articles (hint hint) try their best to paint Obama and Joe as being different. Well, so what? They’ve worked together for years and are well-acquainted with each other’s personality. No one is more loyal to Obama than Biden, except for Michelle, and I like seeing the most loyal close to our president. That said, I was afraid with all the nonsense from faux news (hint hint), these two gentlemen would stop joshing each other; they obviously haven’t, and I have that much more respect for Biden and Obama for not folding. They are a great team and probably the closest President/VP in our history. Vive le difference! No need to drum up the joke about Roberts again, we know what you’re going for here. Honestly, I can think of no one who deserved the jab more than Roberts. But why bring it up again, right? Luv ya a bunch, Joe! And Mr. President!

“Right wingers are governed by logic?

Nothing like being lectured about intellect by someone using exaggeration and acronyms befitting a child.

It’s hard not to notice that any opportunity to smear the President and the Vice-President are taken by those here with their own political agenda.
Day in and day out. Same folks pretty much. Same attempt to smear the President – regardless of the news item. I guess the guy just can’t do anything rigtht . .. not like those guys who came before.

Go Joe! So, is there a big deal here? It was funny. Is there a purpose to dusting off the Robert’s jab (which was, as another poster stated, well-deserved and funny as heck)? I don’t give a hoot if President Obama uses a teleprompter; I do understand that it is one of the few things his detractors have to criticize. I think that’s pretty good…ooohhhh, big bad teleprompter!

I read this the other day on a website:
Obama teleprompter stolen by Al-Qaeda.
Obama’s reaction: ”I’m SPEECHLESS”

Joe and Hillary have figured out the pecking order… they are near the bottom.. look for both of them to start pecking back….

There you go again Joe.

And people tried to say Sara Palin wasn’t qualified for the job……………..

missy: what press conference??????? It was 13 questions from a press corps that gets tingles up their legs and can’t ask a real question like you expect from a journalist, one sided coverage is not good for anything or anyone. Where have all the true journalist gone????????????

Ahh Biden. The gift that keeps on giving.

“Well, I’m a taxpayer and I didn’t like where some of the money (actually, a lot of the money) went when W was in office. Imo, BO’s doing a great job…”
I agree. I love that under Obama my tax money is going to the financiers and bankers on Wall Street. I’m glad that the Ivy Leaguers like Geithner took care of their own. I am thrilled that (spread the wealth) Obama, (so I lied, sue me) Pelosi and (the war is lost) Reid are giving our tax money to union bosses so that they can take the companies away from private investors. I love that my taxes are going to pay for other people’s mortgages and second mortgages. I love that my tax money disappearing into the black hole of TARP and stimulus bills isn’t resulting in any gain in American jobs.
I love that my tax money is not only disappearing out of my wallet but out of the wallets of my children and grandchildren. They wouldn’t know what to do with it and anyway. It’s also a very good thing that my tax money isn’t being spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan anymore. That was such a waste.
Yeah, I’m pretty pleased with where my tax money is going.

NaryE, interesting how you pick and choose. You say the president’s critics here focus on stuff like his birth certificate and cosmetics like the teleprompter and the expense of his travels. Wrong! I am one of those critics, and I have never once mentioned his birth certificate— folks who fixate on that sort of tin-foil-hat stuff are not serious critics of the president. I criticize the president’s economic decisions, some of his foreign policy decisions, some of his management and leadership style– substantive issues. MayBee and Sigmonde and Fascist Hyena similarly concentrate on substantive issues but will chime in on a fun thread like this one as well.
You may not agree with us, but to dismiss us as cranks with crackpot ideas is simply unfair and untrue. But then, your favorite president has set the example of choosing those on the fringe as his strawmen rather than confronting his serious critics, so why should you do any different?

I am so enlightened lately at how many folks see Obama & Biden for who they really are….which is Mr. Fraud & Mr. Odd. After the election I couldn’t believe the blinders but now I see them coming off more and more. The “we won” now = “we all lost” and the Bush bashers are starting to remember that Obama ran on a Santa Claus platform but he’s more like Robin Hood with his redistribution. I think Biden could give a rats butt about his boss and is pleading insanity to wake everyone up. He’s got benefits for life…what difference is it to him if this is last gig. He makes us all laugh but he who laughs last, laughs best. No worries Joe…your secret is safe. Keep exposing that empty suit, America hating boss of yours.

“Whats the big deal about them reading from a teleprompter.”
If Obama is as brilliant as people say he is, why does he even need one? He has used teleprompters more than any President in US history, even at small informal gatherings. Have you ever seen him without one? He’s lost. Who writes his speeches? Who is he? We still don’t know.
