Title: Obama Speaks! (sort of, kinda)
Post by: Monkeyleg on April 27, 2009, 05:26:41 PM
Just in case you missed Obama today when his teleprompter failed and he couldn't introduce new members of his administration without it:

I'm a horrible public speaker, but at least I can say something without having to read it.

 :laugh:

I like how he talks about how he will "nurture and sustain a culture of scientific innovation," as if America has not been such a culture for the past two hundred years.

I wonder if someone will hack into his prompter. :)

Think Anchorman. "Ladies and Gentlemen of American, go f........"

That cartoon needs to be on a T-shirt, and worn by millions of people.
That may only be a joke, but damned if it isn't mired in a heap o' truth.

Wow... just, wow.

His 'prompter must be THE single most secure piece of technology on the planet. I'd imagine there are hordes of hackers salivating at the concept of getting into that thing, and changing things...

Imagine Obama suddenly going into the "We are Anonymous" speech, on national television... :D

That cartoon has now won the internets.

Anyone in DC able to bribe Obama's teleprompter tech? If we all chip in I'm sure we can make it worth his while.....  :O  =D
