DirkValentine: Obama's campaign team is farking brutal. There may very well be a (blue)blood bathe come Nov.

Plus they took away Mittens' safety net. I expect lots of gaffes when he's forced to go off-script.

hubiestubert: At this point, it's almost like he's decided to rope-a-dope.

And Mitt certainly seems willing to play the part of Foreman...

Watching his cornermen get punched in the face repeatedly with Bain and tax return questions on last Sundays talking head shows would seem to bear that out.

I noticed Fox News Sunday led with 'ZOMG the Darks are take all your monies' instead.

JFC why did this issue ever get any traction??

Mufuh already.

I'm really okay with this. I'd like to see Romney go for the challenge as well - I bet Obama speaks off the cuff a hell of a lot better than Romney. Hoist them by their own petard! Hoist, I say!

Lord Dimwit: Hoist them by their own petard retards! Hoist, I say!

I'm looking forward to the presidential debates.

make me some tea: cameroncrazy1984: I think I just saw my first-ever Presidential Campaign ad. In New York. It was the Barack Obama America the Beautiful ad. I have never seen a presidential campaign ad before the primaries.

We took a mini-vacation to Pennsylvania last month. Holy hell, it's impossible to watch TV in a swing state. So much derp.

DVR... you watch nothing live. Record and skip.

"Why won't Barack Obama look us in the eye?"

Look Bachmann in the eye? Never. That way lies madness.

Given the galactic asshanding Obama delivered the last time the Repubs got him to speak extemporaneously - on their turf, even - I expect to see Mittens reduced to a fine pink mist if he tries to follow suit.

Is reading off a teleprompter different from reading from prepared notes?

The teleprompter is merely a device which allows the speaker to maintain eye contact with their audience. That's all.

/it's who is writing it that matters

instead opting for notes on paper

Oh, this is two much! Whats up with all his readin and shiat? I want a presdent that leads from the gut not some fancy Shakespear queer who likes to read.

Correct, I am pretty sure Obama's teleprompter never said "lower taxes", "lift American spirits", or other really hard-to-remember talking points.

He's putting his ideas about his speeches onto the notes, not the entire speech.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: The teleprompter thing is probably one of the derpiest right wing outrage memes out there, right up with the "57 States" meme.




That last one is especially great considering they picked the guy on the left to run against this "out of touch elitist":

Ooh, the inverse graph of gaff's. Also known as the "The Biden Factor." I wonder if he claimed business owners were worthless POS that owed everything to Obama without a teleprmpter.

I hope he doesn't get his flood/drought/warm/cold stops confused.

Obama: "I pray to God each night that the weather will be warm and dry so you can get on with rebuilding."
Colorado Wildfire crews: "retard says what?"

I suppose, when they're notes. But nobody says you can't write out the entire speech. Most people do.

No problem. Just remember, your team decided to white knight this issue so rather than chiding the FLCJC, you should have been reserving your anger for the right wing dumbasses who thought that this was a viable critique.

EVERY F*CKING CANDIDATE or PRESIDENT USES THEM. END OF STORY. DIAF IF YOU DISAGREE.

So he's using the teleprompter less. Somehow this is going to be used as a talking point against him.

"I'm Burgundy Obama?. Go F*ck yourself, America!. "

Great Odens Raven, did he just say that?

SAD Tag is because Obummer is now going to be saying things that are going to cause more and more people to say WTF??? and most likely loose him votes. And Im OK with this!

You respond with Obama supporting sub-standard mediocrity over substance?

Burgundy Obama: "San Diego mean a 'Whale's Vagina'. A much cooler name than what the faculty says which is Saint Diego. Who's with me for saying San Diego is German for 'A Whale's Vagina?' "- student applause with lots of wooohooooo's-
Harvard: "It means Saint Diego." - Faculty with PhD's and JD's quietly applaud.
Burgundy Obama: "Give the San Diego Vagina's Tenure. They didn't earn it but it means a 'Whale's Vagina' in German." Student applause with wooohoooo's
Harvard: 'No, it doesn't and those faculty members suck." quiet applause from the faculty peer review group.
Burgundy Obama: "I'm kind of a big f*ckin deal. Ask Biden." student applause with woohoooo.'s

Yeah, sure chimp, Obama is the one making the majority of the gaffes this year.

snort.

I demand the President hire a guy to stand in the back of the room and hold posters. Just like the Founders' teleprompter.

I am so past putting fark con trolls on ignore. It's just so much white noise now

This falls under the be careful what you wish for clause. Does anyone really think that Obama is the candidate who needs teleprompters to avoid sounding like an idiotic robot?

/Yes, I know, fark trolls and registered Republicans, but other then that.

Anyone else catch the fact that Obama took a look at a legitimate complaint against his presidency/campaign, and then, when clearly he's not having as much an issue relating to crowds as Romney, goes ahead and makes changes anyway?

For the leader of the free world, the man can display an amazing lack of ego, I don't care how well orchestrated or political it may be.

Good luck in Tampa, sweetcheeks.

WizardofToast: So he's using the teleprompter less. Somehow this is going to be used as a talking point against him.

Probably. A talking point that will be made by Fox News pundits who would all sound like Helen Keller conducting a cattle auction if their own teleprompters ever went out.

I'm convinced that's how this whole thing started. Hannity was watching the 2008 DNC, said something off the cuff, and then later, his producer informed him that without a teleprompter, he'd sound like a pants shiatting imbecile. And in classic "NO U!" fashion, a talking point was born.

The other thing is that during these campaigns, the candidates (even the sitting president) have a couple of stump speeches they give over and over again. They become something the candidate can do by rote.

President Barack Obama is scaling back his teleprompter use on the campaign trail this season, instead opting for notes on paper...

Lawls.

So... one less arrow in their derpquiver?

They already had nothing to use against him and now he's even taking away their fake talking points?

Oh, he's good.

I'm pretty sure they'll keep saying it anyway.

the roanoke incident was an off-prompter moment.
i predict after one or two more of those, we will again see totus.

Willie Geist is always impressed when a ConservaTroll tries to sweep in and get the last post in a thread well after the chatter has died down.

Farker Soze: Yeah, sure chimp, Obama is the one making the majority of the gaffes this year.

snort.

Well there were all those Polish Death camps in WWII. Meanwhile, the Poles thought it was German Nazi's that ran death camps, not the Poles until Obama corrected them.

And of course, Obama thought so highly of Medal of Honor winners that he recalled putting one on Jared Monti. Oh wait, he just made that up because Jared Monti died earning the MoH. It must have been some other guy in the military he put it on. All those soldiers look alike so it's tough.

Heck, those two alone make the "you didn't build your business" gaffe seem like nitpicking.

So yeah, you're right. He's gaffe free. (BTW, the MoH gaffe should disqualify him from commander in chief. It's a minimum requirement to know MoH recipients that you awarded medals to.)

I went down to the Austin Post Office this morning. Yes, the one owned by the federal government, run by the federal government and created by the federal government but it's in Austin so I described it as the "Austin Post Office". I realize post offices aren't death camps, but saying "Polish death camps" to mean those Nazi-run death camps in Poland isn't a gaffe.

The Jared Monti thing was a gaffe, but Obama actually handled that pretty damn well. Rather than kowtow to the rabid press, he personally called Monti's family and apologized privately without dragging their son's name out in public anymore. I feel like that was pretty classy.

The "you didn't build your business" thing is taking the quote way out of context and his statement, as he said it, was accurate and something that needed to be said.

Of course I have a feeling I'm being trolled, with the Jared Monti thing disqualifying him from the Presidency statement...
