Obama brings teleprompters to staff meetings and middle school classrooms

Just sayin'.
For speeches around the country, I don't see a problem with it. Even if it's a really small crowd. I mean, he has so many other things going on, so I can understand that.
But staff meetings? And school classrooms?
That's just stupid.
howso steve. all I heard in that speech was "pander pander, spend spend, supreme court is gay"
I find it hard to believe Obama can pwn the GOP right now considering how much failure his administration has put forth in the last year he's been in office.
It was the first time Obama did anything like that with the GOP last week. He could have tripped and stumbled over his words the entire time and the liberal pundits would have still talked about how hard he pwned the GOP. It's totally moot.
It easy to "pwn" people when they can't respond back to you. The setting of the meeting allowed BO to stand up in the front behind a potium and uh..uh..*15 second pause* uh..uh away at people sitting in the room.
It wasn's a debate and the President had the command of the room because...well he is the president.
BO out and out lied about the healthcare bill containing tort reform but the "style" of the meeting didn't allow the Republicans to challenge. The whole damn thing was BO trying to score points with the public...nothing else. Just another damn stump speech.
LOL yeah right.
Hey Obama, you didn't follow through on your CSPAN promise, "Uhh well, yeah I take responsibility for that... But let me be clear..."
Hey Obama, you said you weren't going to hire lobbyists for your administration, "Uhh yeah, well, there are some instances where it's necessary... but let me be clear... "
Hey Obama, you said we haven't offered ideas for health care reform, "Uhh well, I didn't say, that - let me be clear..."
Everything always goes back to Bush, right?
The shift in denial for the faults of the country don't always have to land squarely on the opposing parties last president. There comes a time where you have to accept that the people have voted you in, whether hugely in favor or not, and you must take responsibility and simply say what's done is done instead of going back every single time to the last president and the mistakes that have lead to where we are today.
It's like every voter in America is on a board of directors and we just hired a new CEO. If every time the new CEO came in he just said, "Well look we've 'inherited' a lot of problems" how would you feel?
I would be angry that he has the audacity to shift the blame onto the last person when we've hired him to take over and clean up the mess. We know where we're at, we are aware of the present faults of the country. But unless you take responsibility here on out it shows a weakness and a lack of courage needed especially in times like these.
It is even more, to a point, hypocritical due to the way President Obama voted and not the things he said, but the things he didn't say during his time in Washington. "Change" could've been a car with it's wheels in motion well in advance of the race for the White House or the inauguration of President Obama. It was a choice on his part to play politics and not to attempt change.

relax, just commenting on Bush's outstanding orating skill. I mentioned nothing about Obama, nor blame.
However, everyone's hating on Obama for the HUMONGOUS LOAD OF SHIT Bush left US ALL. He royaly fucked up this country and was allowed to just go away and disappear like nothing ever happened. And now, because Obama can't fix all that shit in one year, conservatives want to lay it all in his lap.
Get some some perspective

^ This. And I would add no layman has anything to gain by being a foe.
They are mere celebrities. They come, they go. All are charlatans. None deserve your time. There are far more important issues and indecencies to expose.
... and on and on.
If it was directed at you I would've quoted the video. It's directed at everyone who shifts the blame to Bush. Yes, Bush did a number on this country. Yes, he put America in a very tough position.
Most republicans, just like democrats, just bitch back and forth. Doesn't matter what said party in power does it's not done the right way. But understand that some, on both sides, critique because they believe what he is doing is fundamentally wrong (just like they did during the reign of Bush).
No one "could get all that shit done" in under a year. We're talking 10-20 years of horrendous decisions that have and will continue to cripple America. The job of the opposing parties are to critique - the job of the media is to sensationalize. Take everything you see and hear with a grain of salt knowing that.
But what bugs most people on this forum, and core republicans who aren't "playing politics" is that they believe Obama is doing it wrong. Most won't stoop down to make fun of how he talks, make fun of how he looks, how he walks, whatever, that's the media. Most will admit, as I have, that he is probably one of the greatest orators in the past hundred years.
What his great speeches cover up though is the misguided attempts at trying to fix something with money when only American ingenuity can do that. Only free markets and American ingenuity can fix this mess - but due to the spending, and the calls for lowering the deficit there is nothing Obama can do but raise taxes.
And since he decides to tax the ones the provide the jobs he cripples the engine of the economy. It's a vicious cycle that needs to be stopped.
Those who continue to cry out do so out of desperation because no one wants to see the country go more downhill - but with the reckless spending, and lack of confidence in Washington, it's inevitable that this is only the beginning if more isn't done right now.
True conservatives and liberals alike, ones that don't just play politics, have been going on about Obama's misguided policies and his simple lack of logic when it comes to the economy since he first announced them during his campaign. Only now is it the "cool" thing to talk about on CNN, or Fox.
Edit: Fuck, read that over and I sounded like HellBlazer on a good day. I usually never get involved in politics - such a time waste.
