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

"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.

"These ugly comments used to make me mad but I now realize just how desperate these critics are, so I can read them and smile."

Sure, smile. But it still doesn't change the fact that we and our children are being robbed blind by Obama and Congress. When the dollar finally collapses, it won't be so funny.

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. There was an incident where bush's earpeice went dead during a speech and he just stood there looking like an idiot with that stupid laugh.

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?

Palin didn't need a prompter.. she has never been much of a reader, anyway...

"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.

I agree with Yellow Dog - only my money goes to Obama/Biden because of both of them and the rest of his administration. The critics on here are pathetic. All they have is "teleprompter" and "birth certificate" and "trips on taxpayers' money" because that's all they can talk about - 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 and I'm relieved he's in office with a great vp, sec of st, and the rest of a truly competent cabinet. These ugly comments used to make me mad but I now realize just how desperate these critics are, so I can read them and smile.

Ahh Biden. The gift that keeps on giving.

I don't mind the use of a teleprompter in keeping your place with the speach, but to stand with leaders from around the world and rely upon that only is a shame, what does one do at the end of the speach......." turn to person on right and shake hand....no your other right"....now smile.....not bow....uuugggh

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????????????

I remember during Obama's campaign his teleprompter failed. Obama speak immediately went ghetto. It was stunning.

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

The POTUS keeps his friends close and his enemies closer.

There you go again Joe.

thank you so much Joe Biden. As much as Obuma makes me sick to my stomach, watching him destroy my country, and turn us into a socialist country you are the only revenge we have...........I have seen the look on Barry's face when you are standing next to him it is pure disgust............and I love it......keep up the good work.......you are truly a weapon against him..........!!!

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

It could have been a joke directed at Obama and if so, Obama would be laughing at it as he's got a good sense of humor.

However, if you listen to how he says the joke, it could also be a dig directed at the media for their non-stop and ridiculous talking point that Obama can't talk without a teleprompter.

I read this the other day on a website:

Obama teleprompter stolen by Al-Qaeda.

Obama's reaction: ''I'm SPEECHLESS''

HA! Vintage Joe. I dig Biden like everyone else who appreciates honesty. As VP I was afraid he would change and become like every other political “canned speech” politician. Joe's why I send money to Obama/Biden. No one cares that President Obama uses a teleprompter, but the fact that so many are obsessed with it helped Joe with a funny joke. Obama’s doing a great job and I support him 100%. He won’t get anyone more loyal than Joe Biden. I think we're fortunate to have both individuals in Washington, DC.
