I am not anti-obama.
Yes he does.Does he use a teleprompter when he's making a 10,000 word speech like every president, republican or democrat has for the last 25 years.Yes.Does he write "taxes" and "lift americas spirit" on his hand like a 6th grader to remember to say those generic bull shit talking points?No.
You are anti obama, pro yourself.Thats fine but the teleprompter thing is such a joke how can we not construe it as you looking for any reason to criticize him?

Could be worse. He could write what he stands for on the palm of his hand.

In all seriousness I never watch the news. I spend about 60% of my time watching cartoons, 20% TV shows, 20% sports. I can't tell you the last time I sat down to watch the news. I am neither pro nor anti obama. I hope he ends up being the best president ever and we get rid of all the recession talk.
I am pro myself to an extent. I think you are ignorant if you aren't.

I'm pro-Obama, but it does seem like he takes the tele-prompter kind of far. He has them in a classroom when giving a speech to 6th graders (Note: I don't remember what grade it was, so I made that up). So much so that The Daily Show (which leans left) has made fun of him for his teleprompter use on at least two separate shows.

Despite not watching the news(no shocker) most of your commentary on Obama is right out of the emails I get from my racist 75 year old uncle.You are getting those gop talking points like the teleprompter crap from somewhere.

It looked stupid having that teleprompter in the classroom.Other then that I see no difference from using prepared notes on a lectern which politicians have been using since the invention of paper.This is a made up issue to make him seem elite.

I think the classroom was overkill, but with Biden as a VP he might be overly worried about gaffs?
I get 75% of my news from the Daily Show, so forgive me bringing it up again. Last night had a great segment on the Republicans calling Obama elite, in part because he went to school in Hawaii and how Hawaii is out of touch with the rest of America. Guess where the Republican's winter conference is? It was awesome the way John Oliver had them talking about how people need to cut spending on frivolous things and he would interject with "Like going to Hawaii?" and they'd agree. Either ignoring the dig, or completely oblivious.

I watched it.Its amazing nobody in the GOP saw that coming or maybe it isnt considering how fucked they are.I'm more of a Colbert report guy.

You are white. I'll never think differently now.
Honestly the only points I get are the 3 minutes i switch over to republican radio when ESPN is on commercial break. I really don't care one way or another. I'm pro Obama. I hope the dude ends up going down as our best president and we all get rich. I used to want to tweak you a bit on the subject but i've lost interest. Sorry bird.

Dow plunges 500 points.... - BIRD33 - 05-25-2010
The stock market during bush's term was his responsibility, yes.
You guys kill me.Never a direct answer and just a bunch of kooky pictures in place of valid arguments.

Ok in Bush's term it got over 14,000 so if you sold at that time you made money.
