Your President Might Be A Moron If...

He requires the use of teleprompters when addressing sixth graders. Seriously, if you can't speak extemporaneously to 12 year-olds, is the title Leader of the Free World really in your wheelhouse? Wouldn't you be more useful dropping fries in hot oil at Burger King? I'm sure you could handle "Fries Up" without the use of mechanical assistance.

Administration officials now claim he only used the teleprompters for an address to reporters. At any rate, the optical in the photo looks absolutely ridiculous.

If this guy were any denser, they'd have to melt him down and use him for scrap.

It takes a special brand of doofus to take teleprompters to an elementary school. If this were a Republican, they'd be call the guy retarded.

This has to be the dumbest man to ever occupy the White House. I don't believe an original thought has ever entered this charlatans head.

Agree that the appearance of teleprompters in a classroom is not very appealing.
Nonetheless, why were they even needed for speaking to reporters? Has he no candor?

Well put Bob and Bruce. The guy is utterly clueless without his handy mechanical friend. I don't think he could give a credible presentation without it.

I bet the kids were bored out of their minds. Poor Barack, the adults in America know that he's full of baloney. The only people left who are gullible enough to buy his vapid schtick are children. 'Children' meaning youngsters who don't know any better and liberals who are incapable of knowing any better.
A teleprompter speech to 6th graders -unbelieveable. Although, on second thought, considering the sensibilities of our man-child in chief, it is sadly all too believeable.

2012 can't get here fast enough.

Wonder how they make his puppet strings invisible?

[Bossdan]

He was only going to use them as he moderated a class wide geography bee. You see the students were doing all the states in America and we all know how good he is a that.

I think at burger king they have timers that buzz when the fries are done...so, that would give at least give obama a chance of success there.

[JR]

I find this extremely Ironic considering our last president.
