President Obama displays his new “anti flying shoe” device.
Obama shows off his newest full page magnifier, designed so the media will see him as larger than life.
The GOP, frustrated by Obama’s rhetoric, employed the use of the Giant Invisible Fly Swatter to show their hostile disapproval.
[add to the above] He never saw it coming.
“So after I raise taxes on fuel, cigarettes, and air, I will continue (teleprompter fails)…(crickets chirping)…Thank you and have a good night”
“Pay no attention to the man behind the teleprompter”
Does this teleprompter make me look fat?
Is this his idea of transparency?
Generally speaking—I’m generally speaking.
“Me, a socialist, certainly, you jest!”
“This prompter fails and I become Biden in front of the whole world”!
Thats a mirror, not a prompter, to better practice his FDR, or ll Duce chin tilt.
Hey! Al, isn’t the teleprompter supposed to be between me and the camera?
I don’t know, there’s something about that line between his mouth and his brain …
Man, I’m glad I don’t have to pick the best one here…they all made me laugh! Thanks, folks!
In an effort to quell persistent rumors regarding his citizenship, Obama reveals his birth certificate.
Dateline Associated Press: “Axel-who?”
As seen in this EXCLUSIVE AP photo,
ChairmanPresident Obama confers with his new senior adviser, Right Teleprompter. After years of dedicated service and unflinching loyalty, Mr. Right (or “Rightsy” to his friends) assumes his new role as the new “go to guy” for his Awesomeness.Also, it has been reported that Mr. Right will be the primary source for Big O’s inspirational
platitudesorations. This, of course would greatly reduce Left Teleprompter’s “face time” with The One.And what of Barry’s long-time confidant and political architect David Axelrod?
The AP tried to get a comment from Mr. Axelrod. One of his aides advised that he and the conspicuously absent Left Teleprompter were “talking strategy” in the White House Lounge and were, therefore, unavailable.
A Secret Service agent, who would only speak on the condition of anonymity, told the AP, “I didn’t realize a 12 inch by 12 inch piece of Plexiglas could puke up that much tequila, much less drink it. Where the hell is his mouth?”
Could a sudden and mutual reduction in stature for these two White House insiders (who have had, at best, a lukewarm working relationship) cause them to become close allies? Only time will tell.
So, what kind of perks can the new West Wing power broker with the ear of the
PremierPresident expect? According to one HIGH LEVEL official, not many.“Rightsy’s been telling Barry what to say for years as it is,” quipped the unnamed source. “The only difference now is he can stay in the Oval Office when Hillary comes by for a “private conference” with the Boss. Know what I mean, Sport? (Wink! Wink!) Oh! gotta run! I have to catch my train!!”
New details as they become available.
I think for myself, I speak for myself!
Brilliant orator needs monitor.
“Let me be candid…”
President Obama dons his new bullet shield after his first one hundred days of “change”.
“I… umm…. dang it this thing broke again!”
