Over at Drudge, there are not one, but TWO images of Barack Obama reading from a teleprompter! Drudge only has four images on his whole site: one is an ad for gold, one is a photo of a subway for a story about aliens and the other two are of Obama reading a speech.
It raises an important question: Why have those teleprompters not been fired yet!? Oh sure Ben Bernanke is terrible at his job and Harry Reid is a piss-poor leader, but c’mon! There’s Barack Obama again with his teleprompters! Why isn’t he spending all his time memorizing speeches!? Why’s he trying to be precise and careful about what he says!? Why’s he still listening to those damn teleprompters after they destroyed the economy, launched ill-advised wars and lost poor Ted Kennedy’s senate seat?
Nevermind that George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Republican Jesus Ronald Reagan all used teleprompters; there’s apparently something terrible about a teleprompter when Barack Obama uses it. Sure maybe it has something to do with the way he uses them, but that’s beside the point. Fire them all!
