Barack Obama’s Teleprompter Blog

Barack Obama’s Teleprompter Blog is a hilarious Web site, which speculates about the private life and opinions of the teleprompter who is running the United States of America. Please do yourself a favor and check out this brilliant Web site.

Barack Obama, the Teleprompter President

During the past few weeks, people have begun to notice that Barack Obama takes a teleprompter with him almost every where. Bizarrely, Chairman Obama uses his teleprompter in even some of the smallest and most informal situations. If you are wondering why Obama is so dedicated to his teleprompter, all you have to do is look at what happens when Obama speaks without one.

Chairman Obama has made some embarrassing errors when speaking off-the-cuff. John McCormick of the Chicago Tribune has written an article about some of these off-script faux pas. Some of the most interesting Barack Obama gaffes are:

• his joke comparing his bowling skills to the Special Olympics
• his "séance" comment about Nancy Reagan
• his "clinging to guns and religion" comment
• the comment about his grandmother being afraid of Black people "like a typical White person"

The Gaffe Factory: Obama and Biden Are the Wonder Twins of Public Embarrassment

Toby Harnden of The Telegraph has assembled a collection of the top ten gaffes by Barack Obama and Joe Biden. It is astounding two men have been able to accumulate so many gaffes before the end of their second month in office. At this rate, Obama and Biden should be able to rack up well over two hundred more major gaffes by the end of their first term.

Obama Jokes About Mentally Disabled on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Given that Barack Obama does not have much to keep him busy, he made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night. Other Presidents have not had time for such appearances, but Obama must think the economy is not on the verge of collapse, we do not have two wars going on, Iran is not about to become a nuclear power, Russian relations are fine, etc. With things going so well, why not fly out to California and bash the ‘tards on national television.

That’s right. Chairman Obama has been in office for less that two months, and he is already using the mentally disabled as a punch line. The offending comment slipped out when Obama was discussing his poor bowling skills with Leno. Obama make a quick joke comparing his lousy bowling abilities with the Special Olympics.

The problem is that is a very old, cliché joke that went out of style in the 1970s when people began to realize that making fun of mentally disabled people is an extremely touchy area. A lot of people are related to or help the mentally disabled, and they just do not appreciate those who demean the disabled. Comments like that offend a lot of people, and they are just tired. If Obama wants to be decent President, he needs some fresh and less offensive material.

Barack Obama, once again, displayed poor judgement by making this comment about the Special Olympics. He should no better than that. If he has poor judgement about his public comments about the mentally disabled, in what other areas does he have poor judgment.

Chris Dodd, Lying Hypocrite of the Week

Senator Chris Dodd wins the Lying Hypocrite of the Week for his entanglement in the AIG bonus controversy. Senator Dodd was one of the leading voices speaking out in condemnation of the AIG bonuses, but he is responsible for the legislation that allowed the bonuses to be paid to the AIG employees. Dodd even lied about his involvement in the legislation until the press exposed him.

The most shocking turn is that Chris Dodd received a large bonus of his own from AIG in the form of campaign contributions. When Chris Dodd was running for President in 2008, he received over $100,000 in contributions from AIG's Wilton-based Financial Products unit. Now caught, Senator Dodd says he will give the money back, but how do we know he will? We already know Senator Dodd is a liar who likes money. He should give the money back, but he probably won’t actually do it.

Barack Obama Wants Wounded Soldiers to Pay for Treatment with Private Health Insurance

Barack Obama has angered and dismayed Craig Roberts, the leader of the American Legion, with a plan that would force private insurance companies to pay the medical costs of their customers who belong to the US military and have sustained service-related injuries.

This move is bound to save the Federal government hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is going to have tremendous consequences for people who are in the military. By shifting this financial burden away from the government and to the insurance companies, Obama will be creating an insurance nightmare for those who are serving this country or have in the past. Faced with the enormous new cost and liability, the insurance companies will have to raise their rates on members of the military. The insurance companies may not even want to take the risks and just drop coverage for military people. Even worse, employers may be reluctant to hire veterans and reservists because of the associated increased healthcare costs. Also, some medical plans may require huge out-of-pocket payments or enforce high deductibles before coverage kicks in. No matter how you look at it, this is a losing proposition for members of the US military.

The real crime is the betrayal. When a person puts his or her safety and life on the line for the country, we have a duty as nation to care for them if they sustain service-related injuries. Anything less is immoral. How can we possibly people to fight for our country and then not cover their medical expenses when they are hurt in the line of duty.

If Chairman Obama executes this plan or anything like it, it will be an incredibly shameful act. If America chooses to treat its wounded veterans in this way, how can we possibly expect anyone to want to fight for this country?

Barack Obama Officially Has Gun Rights in His Sights

Look at what is on the official White House Web site. This is Barack Obama's official plan for gun legislation. It is tucked away in his Urban Policy agenda.

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

We should assume this statement is carefully worded. Breaking down each part of this statement, one could assume the paragraph expresses the following goals.

• national database of gun serial numbers
• traceable, serial-numbered ammunition linked with a national database of sales data
• ban of high-capacity (>10) magazines for all weapons
• heavy regulations on semi-automatic weapons
• heavy regulation on handguns
• enhanced background checks
• increased waiting periods for gun purchases
• mandatory, built-in electronic gun locks, which require a microchip or PIN to fire the weapon
• outlawing all private person-to-person gun sales
• permanent ban of all weapons deemed to be assault weapons
  

The scariest term in Obama's gun policy is commonsense measures. Any time someone uses the word commonsense to support his position, you can be sure he has some radical plans that he cannot support with logical arguments. If something is presented as commonsense, the presenter is establishing there is no reason for debate.

Your Second Amendment rights are in serious jeopardy. All it will take is one big school shooting for the Democrats to feel obligated to start banning weapons. Hopefully, nothing like that happens, but it probably will. When it does, look for the most egregious and brazen violation of Second Amendment rights in American History. Once these rights are gone, they may never return.

Barack Obama Puts Hypocrisy in Writing by Signing Bill with Nearly 9,000 Earmarks

When Barack Obama was running for office, he boldly spoke out against earmarks. He even threatened to veto bills which included earmarks and publicly embarrass the politicians behind the earmarks.

Well, Chairman Obama has been in office less that two months, and he has already broken that vow. On March 11, 2009, he signed a $410 billion spending bill, which was loaded with nearly 9,000 earmarks, which called for hundreds of millions in pork-barrel spending. Even worse, many members of the Obama administration are responsible for the earmarks. They injected the earmarks into the bill last year while they were still in Congress. For example, Vice President Joe Biden had just over $52 million in earmarks in the bill. Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff, had more that $8 in earmarks. There are tens of millions more among Obama’s current staffers.

The Obama family has barely unpacked, and Chairman Obama has already broken another campaign promise. When Obama reaches the first hundred-day mark, will he have any promises left to break?

Barack Obama Approves Use of Your Tax Dollars to Kill Unborn

On March 9, 2009, Barack Obama approved use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund embryonic stem cell research. The harvesting of embryonic stem cells destroys the embryo, killing an unborn baby. Therefore, when you pay your taxes, some of your money is being used to kill unborn babies.

Supporters are arguing the unborn babies are just embryos who were going to be discarded and would have died anyway, but that reasoning is flawed. Just because a person is going to die, it does not make it fair to kill that person. If you found a paralyzed child, who was lying in the snow after being abandoned, would it be okay to kill the child, even if you had a greater purpose in mind? The child has been discarded. He is going to die anyway. If his death might bring about some sort of benefit, is it okay to kill him?

Well, Obama has now answered this question for you. He has condoned the extermination of unborn babies for a greater good, and he is sending your money to fund the process. Every time you pay your taxes, you are financing the termination of unborn children. Is this what you want the Federal government to do with your money--money you could be using to buy clothes and food for family?

BarackBuster Video: Specializing in Tacky Gifts for World Leaders

When British Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited Barack Obama in the White House on March 5, 2009, he came bearing gifts--as is the custom. The Prime Minister brought some thoughtful gifts such as a penholder made from wood from the HMS Gannet, a framed commissioning paper for the HMS Resolute, and a set of books about Winston Churchill.

In exchange, Chairman Obama gave the Prime Minister a set of twenty-five DVDs. The DVDs included American classics like E.T., Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, etc. This was a nice gift to give to a film buff uncle, but it is not befitting the dignity of a head of state. The Prime Minister’s gifts to Obama displayed class, thoughtfulness, and respect. Obama’s gift to the Prime Minister showed dullness, thoughtlessness, and indifference.

The Prime Minister is blind in one eye, and he probably does not have a lot of time to sit around watching movies. Even if he did have time to watch the DVDs, I wonder if the DVDs will even play on British DVD players. Furthermore, these DVDs could be purchased from BestBuy or Walmart. If the Prime Minister wanted these DVDs, he could have easily purchased them himself. Who cares about a gift anyone could just go grab off of a shelf virtually anywhere?

Why does Obama not know better than this? Is he really such a rookie that he does not understand the importance of establishing dignified relations with foreign leaders? Is it possible Obama was intentionally snubbing the Prime Minister with a blatantly lame gift. Maybe Chairman Obama should have just given Prime Minister Brown a Walmart gift card. That way, the Prime Minister could have stocked up Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and Little Britain DVDs to watch on his long flight home after a wasted trip to America.

Barack Obama Is Wrong on Medical Bankruptcy Numbers

At his White House forum on healthcare reform, on March 5, 2009, Barack Obama stated, “The cost of health care now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds." The problem is that the numbers do not add up. They are not even close. The numbers are based on a flawed 2005 Harvard study. ABCNews has an article explaining the real numbers.

Why is Chairman Obama using outdated, incorrect information? Is his research really that poor? Is he using the incorrect numbers to intentionally deceive people? Either way, it is alarming that Obama’s numbers are so wrong. If he is clearly incorrect on healthcare, on which other issues will he be so far from the mark?

Barack Obama Humiliates America in Front of Russia and Iran Simultaneously

Barack Obama has humiliated America in front of Russia and Iran simultaneously with just one foreign policy blunder. Chairman Obama has hinted to the Russians that America’s missile shield is up for negotiation if Russia helps America rein in Iran.

Russian President, Dimitry Medvedev, wisely scoffed at Obama's clumsy overture by stating that “haggling” would not be productive. Essentially, Medvedev laughed at Obama as if he is a naive little boy who is trying to negotiate from a weak position. This is an embarrassment to the presidency and America.

Making matters far worse, Obama has shown weakness toward Iran with this goofy faux pas. By publicly acknowledging that America may not be able to deal with Iran unilaterally, Obama given Iran new confidence that America does not intend to act against Iran alone. In Iran’s eyes, America now looks weak and without resolve. Obama’s wimpy actions are bound to provoke aggression from Iran. One thing we have learned about the Muslim world during the last couple of decades is that weakness is provocative.
