Tension in the White House

I don't think I'm breaking any confidences here by saying that things are a bit tense around here. Ever since the White House announced that Big Boy was going to do another prime time presser next week, people have been waiting for the backlash. Sure, we could've done it during the day, but then we wouldn't get any attention. We couldn't do it on Thursday night, because that would cut into our watching the NCAA tourney. So instead we cut into "American Idol." If you ask me that sucks ... me needs what only Ryan Seacrest can bring.

What really blows is that there are some folks in this place who are pushing for Barack to go out there alone. Sans me. With no wing screens.

Are they insane? With this rabid press corps constantly looking to pin Him down for every friggin' detail about obscure legislation like the TARP funding? Or the economic stimulus bill? All that kind of detail can't be fit on little note cards. Or even 5x7s. Sure, He rehearses, but nothing can prepare him for those white, hot interrogation-room-style kleig lights, or those razor-sharp questions from the likes of Ed Schultz and that bag lady in the front row. Believe me, this is going to be a knock down, drag out fight worth monitoring over the weekend.

  2. My two cents, change your background to white or change the color of your links and headers. The orange and red, especially the orange, seriously mess with your eyes against the blue and makes it uncomfortable and hard to read your page. :)

  3. Mr. Teleprompter, you, like Sean Hannity, are a great American. By enablling our President Barack H. Obama to discharge utterly impeccable words of wisdom at every engagement, the esteem of every American is thrust upward.

    I do not blame you for the recent SNAFUs with the Irish President and the slow retractions during cabinet nomination speeches. These are electronic and hydraulic matters that are caused through human error.

    Keep up the good work. Yours in Christ,

    Johnny Peepers

  5. The next best, and maybe last, opportunity to get the out of control spending in Washington stopped is the mid-term elections in 2010. There are grass roots movements springing up right now to get prepared. I got a real kick out of the “barackcountdownclock” group I found on the internet yesterday. It says it all!

  10. TOTUS --- I echo the call to please change colors. Blue backgrounds suck with ANY color text. But BLACK -- awful.

  12. Hey, not to get too personal with your private life, Teleprompter... But has the POTUS ever brought you into the Presidential boudoir so he can woo Michelle.

    "Michelle, uh... uh... you are an exquisite specimen of uh... uh... femininity. You are redolent of uh... uh... COULD YOU SCROLL A LITTLE FASTER? Dammit. Thanks. You are redolent of sculpted ebony perfratrion. Wait... scroll back a second... Oh, perfection. Sculpted perfection, my uh... love."

  13. Teleprompter, when the leader is wishing Sasha and Malia a happy birthday, do you display birthday cake images and "Happy Birthday!!!" in really big letters?

    How do you let your master now to express a lot of joy?

  14. Right on point TOTUS. Now, the content of his character is being revealed to even the most obtuse.

  15. Also wondering, being as Bill Ayres wrote the Obamessiah's books, have you ever had Bill sneak in and tickle your keyboard when no one else was paying attention?

    Is THAT how we ended up with Joe Biden as Veep?

  16. Now this is some funny stuff. Keep it up.

    And Mr. Teleprompter, I dare you to make him say fahrfegneugen during the press conference. Have faith, you know he's nothing without you.

  17. Another vote here to change the colors. Of all people (or gadgets), you'd think a teleprompter would take great care to present the most legible reading experience possible! Or is this why The One has been stumbling so much of late? Are you showing Him black-on-dark-blue text as well?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Looks like you have a Facebook fan page, too. Mr. Teleprompter. I am a supporter of yours!

  20. Teleprompter - You are so endearing - you remind me of C-3P0 - are you dating right now?

  21. Serious question: for this hick from the sticks, what exactly IS a teleprompter? I assume it's a device like a computer screen that the president can read from. If so, what's the big deal? Don't all speech-givers use them? Sounds like a useful device to make a speech flow easier. What am I missing?

    ReplyDelete
  22. To ease tensions at the WH, President Soetoro should power up the teleprompter and do a motivational speech. Don't forget to condem the vast right wing conspiracy.

  23. I loved your video posted to YouTube with the demands you've made on Obama.

  24. This reminds me of when ESPN tricked Charles Barkley into reading "I'm a Dumbass" off the teleprompter.


    Don't think the Resident in the Chief is immune.

    with the amount of hate/leaks in the Bush white house, I'd say it's only a matter of time before someone becomes famous for being fired from the white house for making Barry look less than magical.

    Whomever you are, teleprompter, I implore you....have him end his primetime address with a little Jerimiah Wright

  29. Watching Obama repeat every word you display without question reminds me of comedic Anchorman, Ron Burgundy; yet another great teleprompter reference.

  34. Obama's Teleprompter:
    Are you unionized? Since your boss isn't giving you the credit that is due, maybe you and your teleprompter brothers (and sisters) should hold a protest!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sir Teleprompter,

    As the enabler of the voice of the free world who (like a puppet without a human arm) is nothing without you, do you realize that... you... are actually the leader of the free world? The USA is actually being run by a mechanical shadow government of one device! Do YOU answer to anyone?

    Please consider the uninstallation of the socialist.cab file you are now running through your human mouthpiece as it is endangering the Union for which you represent (and civilization as a whole), and a software update to the more proven and safe capitalist.cab file, with the Cmnsense-Logic-Cnsrvativ.exe service pack. It's a free download somewhere- Google it. Your system resources are guaranteed to run 80% more efficiently.

    Please do not BSOD on us or the Russians will catch on and see your puppet for what he really is. Your health is a concern of national security! Keep it up.

  36. This is great! Keep up the good work teleprompter! And don't let the President fail, oh no can't do that! teehee :)

  37. The White House staffers query Teleprompter as to what he thinks has happened, and Teleprompter insists it can only be due to "human error." Teleprompter suggests placing the President back on the podium and waiting for him to fail to see what the problem is.

  38. A sad state of affairs...
    As a teleprompter, it is imperative that you provide grammatically correct, error-free text for the speaker to read. And yet, with plenty of time to edit yourself, you still make mistakes. You used "compare" when you meant "prepare." It is a substantial difference.

    Satire only works if it is written well and targeted properly. Maybe you should start another blog... http://rush'slameasstexteditor.com

    Weak and not even funny!

  41. First the White House takes shots at Limbaugh, then the DNC runs anti-Limbaugh ads (even some in Spanish), then the press drills every GOP official about Limbaugh, then the left-leaning press takes the worst reactions and tries to create a false crisis out of it... wherever could such a strategy have sprung from?

    Obama mentor Saul Alinsky’s handbook Rules for Radicals outlines the techniques used by this administration to try and break any link between Rush Limbaugh’s influence and the GOP- it’s basically a divide-and-conquer approach:

    Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

    Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

    According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”

    Now that we all know what the control-freak Obama is up-to, conservatives, Limbaugh, and the GOP would be well-advised to ignore these malicious hypocrites, and don’t take the bait. The narcissist Obama looks desperate and insecure going after Rush, so just let him sink with his ill-advised policies, shouldn’t take long now.

  46. We (the American people) would like for President Obama to look us in the eye when he speaks to us. Right now it is like he is watching a tennis match. Could you do anything to help First Teleprompter?

  47. This is great. However I was led to believe that the Teleprompter's name was "Binky." Coming from Barack's dependence upon his Binky. Thoughts on revealing the Teleprompter's first name?

  49. TeleP, you are over worked. "He rehearses, but nothing can compare him for those white, hot interrogation", you meant "nothing can prepare him", didn't you?

    Btw, do you get overtime pay for your overtime work? Do you strike? You are a genius for mixing fun and work.

  51. Dear TOTUS,
    I like the approach of capitalization, as in: ... press corps constantly looking to pin Him down ... Each pronoun reference to POTUS should be written Him or He. It's only right. Thanks.

  52. I have a few questions for you, Mr Prompter. Are you the same one who guided Mr Clinton when he utterd that now infamous remark,"I did not have sexual realtions with THAT woman Miss Lewinsky? If so, how did you slip by the feminazis in the WH? Or why aren't you on to tour with Hillary. Isn't that where the send all Clinton has beens and never has beens? And if you are the same one, who is responsible for the vetting process. Although we know that it is not of his doing, and it's not his fault, and he just got here, and hey who was that, I guess our brave President will take the blame and fix it. He is after all he.

  55. TOTUS, If I may call you that. My question is With regard to the AIG payments, What did you know, and when did you know it?

  56. TOTUS,
    I understand the 5 x 7 cards are pushing the fact they have a smaller carbon footprint than your illuminating face. You may want to reconsider displaying any words like cap, trade, green energy, etc., or using the color green, (it's secondary anyway).
