Obama “perfectionist” right! Then why is he doing such a poor job as President? Married one Ugly woman? Stays married to that critter? Obama is ALL PR and fluff with alot of Socialism!

Presidents who live off the teleprompter:

Let the liberal suckoff continue.

America…a “perfectionist”?

More like a narcissist and an egotist!

The first Kenyan/Muslim President of the United States of America doesn’t have an original thought of his own.

Even in his first speech…he plagiarized the words of another!

If he is not borrowing ideas from others, he is getting his marching orders from the Bilderberg Society.

The Bilderberg Society wants to destroy America from within.

America…they are also in control of the Federal Reserve in our country.

The leaders of the Federal Reserve are all Bilderbergs….Bernanke, Geithner, Paulson, Volcker and others are also taking their marching orders from them!

Who are they? Put Bilderberg Society in your search engine.

Also put in “Obama Deception” and see how they handpicked Obama to lead our great nation.

Their mission and purpose: to destroy the financial institutions in America thereby causing a domino affect in the world to usher in the “New World Order”!

America…we need to dissolve the Federal Reserve and cut off the arm of the Bilderbergs!

America…get the truth…the truth shall set us free!

We will then know who our real enemies are!

==================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE ‘REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN’ AND HIS BILDERBERG AGENDA TO TAKE AMERICA DOWN FROM WITHIN ONE BANK, ONE CAR COMPANY, ONE 401K, ONE BIG SPENDING BILL, ONE STATE AND ONE RACIST NOMINEE FOR OUR SUPREME COURT IN THE HOPES OF TEARING APART…PIECE BY PIECE THE GOVERNING DOCUMENT OF OUR FREE NATION…THE CONSTITUTION!

Oh Marxist Liberals, try as you might, it’s simply not possible to polish a t%urd.

OBAMA IS FULL OF CRAP.HE PLAYS WITH PEOPLE’S EMOTIONS. HE MANIPULATES THE PEOPLE BY TELLING THEM WHAT THEY ONLY WANT TO HEAR BUT HE NEVER DID ANYTHING THAT HE PROMISED OR SAID. HE’S SO DESPERATE TO HAVE THIS UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PLAN TO TAKE PLACE. AND BY DOING SO, HE PROMISES THE PEOPLE (AGAIN) THIS WILL CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS. HE REALLY THINKS HE’S THE SMARTEST. HEY DUDE! HOW CAN YOUR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PLAN CREATE MORE JOBS WHEN THIS IS GOING TO KILL SMALL BUSINESSES EVERYWHERE. WHAT JOBS ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU LIAR!

Obama's Teleprompter   June 8th, 2009 - 4:42 pm

Myth: Obama can’t function without a teleprompter, even uses it for answers at press conferences.

Who’s spreading it: Rush Limbaugh; TeleprompterPresident.com

What they believe: “Barack Obama’s use of teleprompters is becoming legendary. He doesn’t go anywhere without them and rarely, if ever, speaks without their assistance.” This has been a theme of Rush Limbaugh’s since early in the campaign last year. Sean Hannity has joked, rather ickily, on Fox News about whether Obama sleeps with the teleprompter between him and Michelle. Right-wing bloggers argue Obama is totally incompetent without the prompter and can’t speak off the cuff. The theory is widespread enough that a Web site has been devoted to it: TeleprompterPresident.com, which not only studiously collects Obama’s bloopers but also retails other preposterous Obama conspiracies.

What is real: Presidents have been using teleprompters for more than 50 years, and notecards for even longer. It’s true that Obama uses the prompter, specifically, more than most of his predecessors. He uses them for casual announcements and the lead-ins to press briefings

But charges that he is “incapable of forming his remarks and speeches without reading them verbatim, are insane. Obama has written two books, given hundreds of unscripted speeches and interviews on the campaign trail, and even now goes on in great detail, and great length, during question-and-answer sessions with voters, lawmakers and reporters.

listening to Obama speak without notes, it’s tempting to think his advisors want him to use the teleprompter in part because it keeps him from getting too involved in what he’s talking about, rather than because he can’t speak without it. At his first prime time presidential press conference, his answers dragged on so long he had time for only a handful of questions. But the aide wouldn’t concede that his boss is — left to his own devices — a little wordy.
I hate when he says during Q and A,let me go back to the first part of your question and he goes on and on.
The hell with the right wingers Mr President please continue to use your teleprompter.

to “Obama’s Teleprompter”,

Perfectly stated, although a little too educated for the crackpots on this site, and the remark, “The hell with the right wingers” is a little late. In their mind, they’re already there,….in the hell THEY created, and can stay put!

grik   June 8th, 2009 - 7:06 pm

Listen to the Right Wing Dogs howling about more nonsense. Bush, Cheney, they all used teleprompters.

Perhaps they are trying to credit technology with the fact that Obama’s speaches are so much more inspiring than Bush’s. They dont’understand that Obama is about substance not spin like the Repbulicans.

TOTUS   June 8th, 2009 - 8:26 pm

Obama is one hell of a speech giver as long as no one fact checks him.

Nothing Changes

Any president after JFK has understood the importance of towing the line regarding American foreign policy. The CIA has no problem coordinating the assassination of people who don’t play ball – then following that up with endless obfuscation, legal and otherwise.

As president, it probably makes sense to just zone out, maybe pop a Xanax, and read the prompter. Don’t make waves. Learn when to give in.

Follow your orders. Try not to think of all the innocent people that will be killed in all of the wars you’ll be ordered to start. It will help if you think of all the money you will make down the line.

Sure you’ll have to sell your soul and leave your concerns of good and evil behind, but in the end at least you got to be famous.

DNC KNEEPADS   June 9th, 2009 - 4:53 pm

Yeah, perfectly destroying America. Libtards love this as THEY hate America too (just like their government skool teachers). Now, if they could think past their nose, they have to live SOMEWHERE now, don’t they? If humans breathe out CO2, why don’t all the libs just do the right thing? NOW!
