The new right wing meme I'm seeing on Obama's speech to schoolchildren.
A few comments just fluttered in recently: Obama was just READING from a teleprompter!

I guess the implication is that Obama doesn't have a clue to what he is saying. Which is about as LAME as you can get! LOL. I was wondering what in god's name they would come up with on this really praiseworthy speech to kids...

I'm betting that this will be repeated over and over again in the next 48 hours...

1. Anything but to admit that they were wrong.

The teleprompter argument is as lame as it gets. And it didnt' bother them with Reagan or Chimpy.

2. So, he is expected to memorize every speech?
They are so silly. :eyes:

5. Not memorize it
Just speak openly and off the cuff. :eyes:

12. Oh, just like ol' GWB. And he was such an effective public speaker.
Such gems like "Is our children learning" or "gynecologists practicing their love of women..." What special gems. :eyes:

4. Here's my prediction on another meme
They'll say that the President changed his socialist rhetoric in the speech after they called him out on it. Just wait. :eyes:

7. The freepers are already saying that.
It's as if some kind of REAL speech existed before--sort of like the "long form" birth certificate...:rofl:

10. I've been hearing that one for a couple of days now.
They pat themselves on the back for making him "change" his speech...

11. Yeah, you're on to something there
They'll say that they prevented him from using the same Jedi mind tricks he used last fall to con so many people into voting for him!

6. Are they mind readers? He hasn't given the speech yet so . . .
. . .I am not sure how they know he was reading from a teleprompter. Now there is a good chance that one will be used, but they might want to wait until he gives the speech.

9. I think the implication is that he just reads what is handed to him.
It's crazy and doesn't really make any sense to anyone who has actually seen Obama give a speech. But his grace and intelligence just enrages them so much they sputter away at anything...

8. I think he should use old school "note cards"!!
Ha.Ha..ha..that would totally fuck up their talking point. Then they would have to say well he didn't use a teleprompter. I want to see them tied up in knots!!

13. Considering they will sue, if one word veers from the transcript that was approved
I would use one too. No telling the efforts to run it backwards, skipping set numbers of words, anagrams, numerology, reading the pimples on his ass. They will not rest till he is a pedophilic, murderous, gas chamber tending freak. Or them first. Even Newt knows they are looking like loons.

15. Bush used Teleprompters with phonetic spelling at U.N.

He also used one during a speech to Congress:
