Things went sour in Obama's world yesterday when his beloved teleprompter died. This picture shows the horrific scene as the "Teleprompter in Chief" lay motionless and in pieces.
This incident caused Rush Limbaugh to use his entire opening monologue to talk about the "accident." Rush even wondered if all powers would be transferred to Biden's teleprompter under constitutional law.
This may sound funny, however, the president puts a lot of emphasis on having the teleprompter with him at all times. There were times that the teleprompter even showed up at press briefings. Obama believes in it so much that just last week the teleprompter told him to tell a group of graduates that he met his wife at school (instead of work). These types of embarrassments have prompted some to wonder if this accident were an accident at all. Could there be a C.I.A. cover up?
I'm a firm believer in speaking from the heart. If you live by what you believe and are speaking about matters that flow from your convictions - you may have some notes in front of you (I do this every Sunday) but do you have to have a machine that scrolls in front of you to keep you on task? What did President Obama do after the teleprompter went down? He waited for some staff members to put another one in it's place...no Senate confirmation hearings needed.
So today we bid farewell to the Teleprompter in Chief. I'm not sure who was leading you or the president, but at least we know that you won't be able to speak on his behalf anymore.
