Video: TOTUS betrays POTUS again

From this morning’s address to the National Academy of Science, in which The One continued his relentless jackass demagoguery of people who disagree with him about particular scientific policies. Says Jay Cost:
Who the hell is saying we cannot afford to invest in science? Isn’t the real argument about whether we can spend so much more (fully 3% of GDP) on science, and revitalize the economy, and save the banks, and save the Big Three, and spend more on education, and reform health care, and revolutionize the energy sector all at the same time?…
What is especially annoying to me is that – to win what amounts to a few quick, short-term political points – the President is really hitting below the belt. Those who are opposed to federal funding of stem cell research are somehow un-American: they are against “free and open inquiry,” and are willing to undermine “scientific integrity” and “our democracy.” Why? In service to “a pre-determined ideological agenda.”…
I am sick and tired of the President’s rhetorical sophistry – and if Frank Newport’s employee called me up today, I would say that I disapprove of the job he is doing. If Scott Rasmussen’s robot called me, I’d say that I strongly disapprove. A President should not be mischaracterizing, and working actively to alienate, fully 40% of his consistency – especially after he promised he wouldn’t.
Perhaps in quiet agreement with Cost’s take, TOTUS decided to take a little break mid-sentence during the speech. I’m tempted to say that it’s Obama himself who’s at fault and that TOTUS, being a good soldier, is merely taking the rap, but we know better than that. After all, he has a gift, Harry.

He’s not fit to be a dog catcher.
promachus on April 27, 2009 at 4:34 PM
He is not scoring points, he is validating the world view of the left and the “reality based community” Mr. Cost is failing to realize it takes one more vote then the other guy to win. What Cost calls scoring points is actually stroking the base.
rob verdi on April 27, 2009 at 4:34 PM
name one president since the 1970’s who didn’t use a prompter. Yea I thought so
nice343 on April 27, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Why can’t he at least have a back up right in front of him on paper?
It’s not like he’s ever looking straight into damn camera anyway.
Dr. ZhivBlago on April 27, 2009 at 4:36 PM
Which staffer got tossed under the bus for the ‘prompter mishap? Obowa didn’t like that one bit.
Bishop on April 27, 2009 at 4:36 PM
he does not look amused…
Ampersand on April 27, 2009 at 4:36 PM
Thank you for calling it exactly what it is and Cost’s comments are also spot on.
The TOTUS breakdown once again exposed Obama for the fool that he is…another for the long “if GWB had done this” (not only relied on a teleprompter at even the most ordinary of events but clearly reading it without instantaneous recognition of what he’s saying) list.
But the demagoguery is becoming unbearable—if only more citizens would reject the hate he’s selling.
KittyLowrey on April 27, 2009 at 4:37 PM
If one is going to pay people to write the words you speak, it would seem the lest one could do is memorize a few of them…
elgeneralisimo on April 27, 2009 at 4:37 PM
The difference was, we were never aware of the teleprompter with past presidents.
With this guy it’s painfully obvious.
Dr. ZhivBlago on April 27, 2009 at 4:37 PM
jackass, the correct assessment.
He is so good at reading, if you don’t mind the tennis match.
tarpon on April 27, 2009 at 4:38 PM
For the mundane events Obama does? You go first. Long speeches are one thing, making introductions or opening remarks at a presser quite another.
KittyLowrey on April 27, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Reminds me of Karl Rove’s article “Obama’s Straw Men.” And Obama was a college professor, right? He has to see the logical fallacies he is committing, he must just not care.

I did see President Bush speak at a rally once, and he did not use a teleprompter. So there is at least one instance of a President since the 1970s not using one.

For all the Left’s “Bush used a teleprompter too” yammering, why don’t I remember any teleprompter gaffes from him? I’m sure the libtard media would have gleefully reported every one of them, so where were they?

Name one who used a ‘prompter for 99% of their speeches.
BTW, why aren’t you posting as “money2″ any longer? Got tired of agreeing with yourself?

Bonus: Obama got his facts wrong on science funding.

What were his reading comprehension scores from school? That’s right. We don’t know any of his scores.
I bet they get rid of more TOTUS Operators this way.

If you had learned how to do speech preparedness in College (heck in Highschool) you wouldn’t have learned to memorized the biggest word in the sentence followed by the reason you memorized this word.
Obviously some people didn’t learn. Blame the TOTUS… but it is only you who can’t get it right.
upinak on April 27, 2009 at 4:41 PM
I’ll say this for him…he may suck at being President, but he would be OK as a local TV station anchor-head of some small town…that station would have a great little end-of-year blooper reel to play back.
AUINSC on April 27, 2009 at 4:41 PM
I’ve seen former presidents Bush and Clinton speak during their presidencies. Neither used a teleprompter for political rallies.
Guess who did?
Slublog on April 27, 2009 at 4:42 PM
Better yet, which President’s used big-screen tv’s instead of ‘prompters after getting ridiculed?
Bishop on April 27, 2009 at 4:42 PM
From Barack’s TeleprompTer’s Blog.

He didn’t use one at Ground Zero in New York, either.
hawksruleva on April 27, 2009 at 4:43 PM
Name any president — ever — who used so many teleprompters, so frequently, and so poorly.
Yeah, I thought so.
AZCoyote on April 27, 2009 at 4:44 PM
You know – maybe he doesn’t so much flip-flop on issues as much as he cannot recall what he said not five minutes ago!
Dang, everybody messes up, but how do you forget what you just said – not a couple of minutes before?
For the record, I would be picking on W for the same thing – but thankfully he was not quite attached to TOTUS as Obama is – plus like some other commenter on another thread – I have a fondness for strategery. (laugh)

W/o teleprompter:
What they’ll say is, “Well it costs too much money,” but you know what? It would cost, about… It — it — it would cost about the same as what we would spend… It… Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us… (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We’re going to… It… It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about — hold on one second. I can’t hear myself. But I’m glad you’re fired up, though. I’m glad.
Everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end up taking up a hospital bed, it costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early and they got some treatment, and a, a breathalyzer, or inhalator, not a breathalyzer. (crowd laughing) I haven’t had much sleep in the last 48 hours.
Akzed on April 27, 2009 at 4:47 PM
Why doesn’t he have DARPA come up with some super secret Tel-Eye-Prompters?
That way, he can have them laid on the inside of his corneas, so the words can scroll in his vision, and there would be no teleprompter.

How I wish someone would manage to slip a few goofs into the scrolling text, just to see if His Highness catches them, something along the lines of “And my plan is raise your taxes sky high” or “you whiteys need to pay your fair share.”
I say the odds of him catching himself before uttering the words are below 40%.

Note my previous comment. Then note how 343 tries to employ that technique.
MarkTheGreat on April 27, 2009 at 4:50 PM
I don’t have a problem with them using the original embryonic stem cells…those are no longer viable anyway.
But, the morality of using fertility treatments that produce ‘extra’ embryos should be looked at in more depth.
As soon as I wrote that, I remembered Roe v. Wade…so never mind.
Further, due to advances in medicine the standard of viability outside the womb of Roe v. Wade back in 1973 is no longer valid and should be re-examined.

Throughout the campaign, all we heard from you on the Left was how intelligent, articulate and eloquent this man is!
And now this!
I don’t care that he or any other president uses a teleprompter. But don’t expect those of us who are rational to swallow the Kool Aid and believe the lie that this man is intelligent, when all evidence indicates otherwise!
ToddonCapeCod on April 27, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Many presidents have used the teleprompter. Obama makes the teleprompter the star of the show. Pick your search engine and search teleprompter and tell me the number of hits that teleprompter/ Obama comes up.
Yahoo search engine-
3,210,000 for Bush teleprompter (8 years)
5,180,000 for Obama teleprompter(less than 100 days)
I rest my case.
canditaylor68 on April 27, 2009 at 4:51 PM
I said it in the headline this morning and i’ll say it again, the sheeple and the MSM do not care they will not let TOTUS fail (even though the equipment does frequently lol). The 70% personal and 55-60% job approvals bear that out.
This is good for laughs on our side, but it will take a lot more than this to bring down the Messiah.
Which, is a real sad state of affairs. Bush may have been a buffoon speaking at times, but at least he spoke off the cuff more than TOTUS. Palin’s prompter breaks down during her RNC speech and she ad-libed to a tee. TOTUS couldn’t ad-lib if his life depended on it. Instead he gets pissed at the machine.
Sad, really, sad….

The only time Obama doesn’t use the teleprompter is when it breaks.

Perhaps he can have a contrast option for the Tel-Eye-Promptets. He could have a tool in his hand that is very small. Up for bright, down for dim.

Seven Percent Solution on April 27, 2009 at 4:57 PM
They are by definition opposed to free and open inquiry. They begin by a declaring an infallible dogma that has no evidence to support it, and then operate within those arbitrary bounds. I’m sorry that the words “free and open inquiry” already have a meaning, and you can’t just take it to mean whatever you want. No. I’m not really sorry.
It absolutely undermines scientific integrity by the same reasoning. Now, one could argue certain scientific experiment might be immoral. Studying reactions of kids whose kidneys are removed without sedation would be a good example. Fine. It’s still an example of science trumped by other considerations.
Purely religious arguments should be ignored by scientists. This is immediately obvious when the religion in question involves Zeus and Poseidon. To most scientists, other religions deserve just as much respect. Yes, I get that stem cell research contradicts your religious worldview. You know what? You’ll get over it. Just like at some point Earch as a center of the Universe was important to people as it validated the significance of Creation etc. Religious people have learned to live with facts of astronomy. They’ll live with biology, too.
radiofreevillage on April 27, 2009 at 4:57 PM
You’re kind of retarded, aren’t you? coyoterex didn’t say Bush never used a prompter. He said he saw him not use once at a rally.
Go get us some video of President Obama not using a prompter at a rally.
BadgerHawk on April 27, 2009 at 4:57 PM
yeah, hot damn for Fox. I don’t like the show they are airing then, but i think i will try to buy whatever is advertised during that show (let’s hope its not something from GE).
while we’re on a roll, let’s close those borders. oh, we’ve been trying to do that for years, you say?

BadgerHawk on April 27, 2009 at 4:54 PM
FOX is too airing the President’s speech; from the link you provided:
The network is turning down the president’s request to show his prime-time news conference on Wednesday. The news conference marks Obama’s 100th day in office. Instead of the president, Fox viewers will see an episode of the Tim Roth drama “Lie to Me.”
As Poopdeck would say: ROFLROFLROFL!
I love FOX.

Snowed In on April 27, 2009 at 4:58 PM
But you didn’t.
You suppressed scientific research, paid american taxpayer dollars to the Presidents Bioluddite Council of Fake-Scientists to quote Bible chapters at us, and pimped the idea of teaching junk science and IDT crapology in public school science classes.
We are so done with you.
Also….O Creator of Worlds…..I fail to understand why Obama owes Bush some sort of blanket pardon for idiocy……is it professional courtesy?
strangelet on April 27, 2009 at 4:59 PM
“a pre-determined ideological agenda.”…
When I heard that, I thought he was talking about the “Global Warming Consensus”. Maybe he ought to look into that?
JeffWeimer on April 27, 2009 at 4:59 PM
Trying to figure out what that ‘gift’ is. All he does is read the words someone else has written for him. Even actors have to do more than that. Does he not see that, even in the absence of technological snafus he can never be seen as a truly great orator, given that he is incapable of coherent speech unless his head is turning from right to left to right to left to right to left… Or perhaps his ‘gift’ is the effortless and ease with which he lies?
Jay Cost’s article hits him dead on.
ProfessorMiao on April 27, 2009 at 4:59 PM
It probably will. There won’t be anything else on. Even people who like the President can only listen to him so much.

The GDP of the United States was $14.26 Trillion in 2008. If the Government spent 3% of that on research, that would be $428 BILLION, or about $1,400 per year per American. Can we really afford that, on top of the TARP and bailouts and Porkulus and maybe a little loose change to defend the nation?
Who would get such tremendous sums of money? Even at $100K per year, that would keep 4.3 Million scientists busy, without ANY private funding!
Barack Quix-Obama is tilting at some huge windmills here…
Steve Z on April 27, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Does anyone else think that Obama may not realize that the GDP isn’t his to spend? Maybe he looks at our budget, then looks at GDP. Then the budget. Then GDP.
Finally, he says, “wow, we’re bringing in SO much more money, we shoudl be spending this!”
Note to Obama: GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product. That means it includes all the private wealth created in this country. The Federal Budget is NOT equal to GDP, and in fact subtracts from GDP.
hawksruleva on April 27, 2009 at 5:00 PM
bambi can’t speak well because as us senator, all you have to do is read from the podium. but as a state governor, you have to mingle with the populace regularly which sort of prevents lugging that damn Teleprompter around.
imagine the teleprompter clearing brush in crawford texas or racing a snowmobile in alaska.

Ah yes, that silver tongued teleprompter let him down.
If drug companies and research laboratories want to fund embryonic stem cell research no one is stopping it, the question is whether they used additional tax dollars to do it.
Besides, isn’t there some bill passed by Congress in 1996, Dickey Wicker or something that prohibits giving federal funding to the destruction of embryos?
Terrye on April 27, 2009 at 5:04 PM
At every single speaking event? I’m pretty sure he’s the first.
Still, it’s a ridiculous argument. Name one president who was as obviously using a teleprompter as Obama. Yea I thought so
It’d be one thing if Obama knew how to use it, but he keeps messing it up. Bush, who was never a great public speaker, was better at it than he is. Isn’t that saying something?
Try re-reading what coyoterex said. Maybe it’ll make sense the second time.
Esthier on April 27, 2009 at 5:04 PM
You’re only proving you have no idea what you’re talking about. If you follow Proverbs and just keep your mouth shut, we might all assume you’re a genius.
Esthier on April 27, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Said this a long time ago, when Obama-speak became the new rap.
It is all about the hustle.
One sees it with used car salesmen, with those door-to-door encyclopaedia salesmen, even the venerable Fuller Brush man.
Start with a proposition…something nobody wants to say “no” to.
“So, you love your kids? You want them to get the best education possible? They aren’t being taught the basics in school, right? Their textbooks leave out so much vital information to help them become good students, good citizens, and intelligent children. You want that, right? Of course you do. You want to be seen as a good parent, right? You want to be a good parent, right?”
And so forth, until the money shot… “What I am offering today is the easiest and cheapest means you can find anywhere to provide for your kids that extra assist to bring them to the top of their class in every subject…for only $19.95 a month, the cost of a family dinner at Mickie D’s, I give you the New Funk and Wagnel’s desk top Encyclopaedia…”
And you sign on the dotted line, take out your checkbook…
And three years later when you find your kids have never ever opened a single volume, you sit there very unsatisfied that you spent $600 on $150 worth of books…and then it dawns on you.
The Chicago Hustle is now de rigeur at the White House.

Jay Costs’ link to Rasmussen shows Obama’s “total disapproval” rate of 44%, with 53% approving. I do believe the magic is wearing off. Strangely, I keep hearing from the old media that Obama has a 69% approval rate; among Dems, perhaps.

strangelet on April 27, 2009 at 5:10 PM
The problem is that when TOTUS takes a break, Oblahma has to actually listen to himself. Even a narcissist can only take so much of his own droning before he puts himself to sleep. The actual science stuff is secondary to the love affair he has with the sound of his own voice. I have yet to meet a liberal who lets facts get in the way of a good piece of sophistry.
College Prof on April 27, 2009 at 5:12 PM
Obama is no “Great Communicator”
This moron can’t make a 30 second announcement without the help of a Teleprompter. Any interview is completed with a gazillion “hmms” and “uhhhs” interspersed with tired cliches and repetitive talking points.

madmonkphotog on April 27, 2009 at 5:13 PM
So my skeptical buddy at work (who is conservative, but has drunk a mild amount of kool-aid) says so what to TOTUS’s break down of prompter. He’s done countless interviews, been on all the Sunday shows, debated, etc etc….. So explain that!!
I tried my best, but he aint buyin it. Anybody got some other counter arguments I could use on him?
davek70 on April 27, 2009 at 5:13 PM
Maybe you attach blind loyalty to others over a single issue, but I never have.
Still, I don’t see you explaining why we need government money on this or why we should spend government money on things that violate religious freedom in this country.

Scientists are now coming back to the US like ex-pat Iraqis after the fall of Hussein.

To get him to shut up…since conversion is not indicated… you could tell him you know where he lives and the first terrorist attack on the US will find you at his house, exacting more than a pound of flesh?
Told this to a couple of “pseudo-conservatives” who said they voted for Obama because he was so much more brilliant than McCain. They haven’t raised any political issues with me since.
