Obama’s 6th Grade Teleprompter Speech

I saw reference to this yesterday and didn’t pay it much attention.  But when even Jon Stewart is chiming in, what choice do I have?

To their credit, both Stewart and his protege, Stephen Colbert, are quite happy to skewer Democrats as well as Republicans. Goodness knows, there’s plenty of material.

    for clarity Obama talked to the kids without the promter … it was for his “remarks” later that he used it … same school same day … you get the feeling he has them at the family dinner table at night …

    one prompter has “Let me be clear” permenantly etched across the top and the other has “As I’ve said before”.

    You don’t really need the bulletproof podium until you’re talking to 9th graders.
