Great site… and great insight into the special relationship that our president has with his teleprompter. Check out the whole thing here on Barack Obama’s Teleprompter’s Blog and this little goody here as he responds to Rush Limbaugh. Great stuff.
Did he convey the level of anger you hoped for regarding what you told him to say about AIG?
This was my bad. It’s tough to insert instructions, like [FROWN] or [SMILE], because in the heat of the moment, Big Guy might actually read it aloud, like “I am sorry [frown] that Senator Dodd and my Democratic colleagues on the Hill were singularly responsible for the AIG bonus protections.” That would be embarrassing and possibly indicate to unsuspecting viewers that The Man was reading off a teleprompter. And we don’t want that. And even if He did screw up, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that there is an electronic-shock mechanism on the podium used when he makes those kinds of mistakes … so far as you know.
