turtlespeed 226 #51 June 9, 2010 Quote Quote Quote Quote But if you don't have a good enough grasp on the subject matter that you are speaking about, that you have to have Have to? Who said anything about have to? But if it's available, it's helpful, and there are 200 million people out there waiting to pounce on every single error or stutter you're about to make then why would you not want to use one? (Of course, this is politics, so when you speak perfectly there are people who'll just accuse you of being 'too polished' anyway God-damn but don't you people get worked up over a whole lot of irrelevant toss!) Yes have to - he can't or rather hasn't been able to correctly perform a speach with out a teleprompter yet without at least one freudian slip. Bush couldn't manage that level of accuracy WITH a teleprompter. Serious double standard showing here, turtle. Double standard - I think you make assumptions that you cannot back up. Don't know if the cronology is correct, But here is a corpse - man comment Then after he was made available the correct pronounciation, he did it again. That is how he READS it - he doesn't think about what he is saying - just recites it off a piece of technology.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,111 #52 June 9, 2010 >I heard that Obama ordered all of the U.S. flags to be sent down to the >Gulf and stuffed in the hole. That's just a coverup. He actually burned them all to show his hatred of America. Which is why he wanted no one to see it, which is why there was a coverup so . . . Well, look, it's complicated. The important thing to remember is that no matter what the facts, he hates America. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #53 June 9, 2010 QuoteNow, Wendy, whether or not there is actually a flag in the White House press room ceased to be relevant a long time ago. We have since moved on to whether Bush or Obama is more evil, stupid, manipulative and hypocritical, and mundane facts about flags and teleprompters have no place here. What is so amusing about this, is that that band wagon had your name etched in it from the amount of time you sat on it during the years when the presidency was not the candidate that you chose.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please, feel free to dig up as much "Bush hates America because he's not displaying enough flags!" rhetoric as you can find.

Shotgun 1 #56 June 9, 2010 Here is a photo taken from May 27, 2010, which I believe is the same day as the original photo posted. Same room in the White House, different event. The flag is not as prominent as some might like (I assume that will be the next argument - he should have 30 flags behind him if he really loves America!), but "Odumbo" does actually have a flag in the room. http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//100527/480/urn_publicid_ap_org_dcf5bc52f8d84475b5141eec3260671c/#photoViewer=/100527/480/urn_publicid_ap_org965dcc7254524205b6793fae8a1a619c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,146 #58 June 10, 2010 QuoteQuotePresidents who have used teleprompters: Barack Obama George W. Bush Bill Clinton George H.W. Bush Saint Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter Gerald Ford (and in fact, his teleprompter frequently contained cues telling him what physical actions to use along with the words!) Lyndon B. Johnson John F. Kennedy Dwight D. Eisenhower Harry S. Truman The only one missing since the device was invented is Richard M. Nixon, the great GOP hero and crook. You must be one disillusioned guy. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I call total BULLSHIT here, the technolgy for anything other than cue cards wasnt;even around! Wrong. The TelePrompTer company was founded in the 1950s by Fred Barton, Jr., Hubert J. (Hub) Schlafly, and Irving Berlin Kahn. Barton was an actor who suggested the concept of the teleprompter as a means of assisting television performers who had to memorize large amounts of material in a short time. The first "teleprompters" were simply mechanical devices located near the camera. The script was printed on a paper scroll, which was advanced as the performer read....
