TOTUS down! TOTUS down!

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/07/if-a-teleprompter-falls-in-the-white-house-does-it-make-a-sound.html

So, who's next in line to replace Obama's teleprompter? VTOTUS? What about after that?

Don't they have some sort of backup? Maybe something like flash cards with "hope" and "change" printed on them.

Shards of glass remained near the president’s feet for the duration of his speech.

If the teleprompter fell at his feet, shouldn't it have been instantly healed? 

Or does it have to bathe in the pool of Bethesda or something?

By failing The One, the teleprompter was not worthy of being healed.

... and all the president's men couldnt put TOTUS back together.

TOTUS will receive several commendations and a burial in Arlington National Cemetary.

For the rest of the speech the president relied on the one remaining teleprompter, to his right, and notes on his podium to finish his speech.

...and that's as far to the right as he'll ever go....  :laugh:
Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.
