Rubio Slams Obama's Teleprompter While In Front Of Telemprompters At CPAC

It's not that the President uses a TelePrompTer, most all politicians do at some point. It's the irony of him supposedly being a great communicator, but yet not seeming to be able to communicate without it. From everything I've seen he's actually a pretty awful extemporaneous speaker. Just ironic, but nothing to get too bent out of shape over. He has many more weaknesses than that.

But yeah, Obama is a horrible speaker. That's why Boehner is scared of the size of the room the healthcare discussion will take place in, not because he rebutted Republicans in the summit they invited him to. It's also why McCain won all three Presidential debates.

Off-script he's about as bad as they get. But, then again, most politicians are.
 
Obama is bad off script? He's bad in his network interviews? He was bad when he chatted with the GOP off script?

All politicians use teleprompters as Speaker Rubio ironically demonstrated. It's one of the right-wing's/media's biggest farces that Obama is somehow bad off script.

It depends on the situation. At town halls he's terrible. Network interviews and the GOP event were different, since its easy to pin down what is going to be asked of him.

Ronald Reagan gave 2 of the top 25 best speeches of all time. His speech after the challenger disaster ranked number 8-According to 137 leading scholars of American public address, as compiled by Stephen E. Lucas (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Martin J. Medhurst (Baylor University).

He was president when I was born and is very inspirational.

I was a full adult when Reagan was President (Eisenhower was President when I was born), had been around and watching the news through Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and you're right Reagan was inspirational. Genuinely. I didn't agree with a lot of what he said but he was an authentically talented speech maker.

Obama really is not. The media and his loyalists have regularly trumpeted him as great and that an upcoming speech is historic or the speech of his career, but they remain unmemorable in the specific. Unlike Reagan's. I still remember some of Reagan's speeches -- and he was a Republican I didn't vote for or approve of in terms of policy. Obama's supposedly great race speech in Philly, or any of the others, do you remember a specific powerful moment?

Obama's just not all that, with or without a teleprompter. The teleprompter isn't the issue per se, it's just a symbol of how inauthentic Obama is.

As for his non-teleprompter appearances, his smackdown appearance at the Republican Retreat was a good example of who Obama is -- he's President with a huge Congressional majority, crisis-level problems to solve and no substantive accomplishment in his first year, and his response to a Dem drubbing in Massachusetts was to lecture and criticize Republicans.

This isn't about the fucking teleprompter.

well, except it is.

But it's about more than that.

It's about how Republicans are a bunch of childish, cry-baby whiners and losers who expect everyone else to follow rules they don't follow themselves. (much like that "marriage is for procreation" thing).

They're angry that a black man walked into the debates (without a teleprompter, by the way) and greased John McCain - the man they thought all democrats would flock to. They're angry that they lost an election to a man with relatively little experience because his main message was "I will save you form the morons who ruined this country over the last 8 years."

Most of all, they're angry that they have been proven wrong about pretty much everything.

Instead of trying to debate the "issues," they make 3rd grade pot shots that make no sense. They whine about TelePrompTers, Dijon mustard, Michelle's arms being exposed, Obama rhyming with Osama and his middle name being "Hussein."

I mean really...

You know what's worse for Republicans? Their own record.

Few of them can speak without a teleprompter, most of them are fucking behind their wives backs, none of them have anything thoughtful or helpful to give to the political process.

Oh, and it STEAMS them that the stimulus worked. oh MAN.. they're out there cutting ribbons and taking credit for it, but it's all just more Republican bullshit.

Seeing Sarah Palin out there complaining bitterly about "that hopey changey stuff" and "a charismatic speaker with a teleprompter" while needing to write "cut taxes" on her hand was pure comedy. But just like everything that comes out of the mouths of the Republicans... it's only funny to people smart enough to understand.

Which means Republicans are now the punch line to a joke they're too stupid to get.
 
^^Jasun, I think that the best post you've ever made on JUB
 
The Republicans are pissed that they're out of the White House, period. Follow that with how badly they lost: the 18-29 group, Latinos, the signs the presidential election of 2008 was a realignment election.

Yeah, they're trying to fight like hell to turn it around. But unfortunately they're just about of gas and the only they can run against is Barack Obama. To a number of people here, that's enough. But when it comes to future presidential elections, it's very bad.

In the previous ten elections of 1968-2004, Republicans won 7 of the 10. Of the ten that were preceding, from 1928-1964, it was the opposite. And likewise 1888-1924. So 2008 was a disaster, again specifically with the presidency, for the Republican Party. And that's why they're desperate. And ugly.

Yep, George W. Bush is the Herbert Hoover of his era.

Well-earned, GOP!
 
This issue of the stimulus, and whether it's working, has been very interesting as to behavior from numerous in Congress from the Republican aisle.

Stimulating Hypocrisy: 111 Lawmakers Block Recovery While Taking Credit For Its Success

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) Said Stimulus Funds Would Create “Much Needed Jobs.” Minority Leader Boehner: “The stated intent of the so-called stimulus package was to create jobs, and certainly a $57 million slush-fund studying projects did nothing to achieve that goal. With Ohio’s unemployment rate the highest it’s been in 25 years, I’m pleased that federal officials stepped in to order Ohio to use all of its construction dollars for shovel-ready projects that will create much-needed jobs.” [Boehner Statement, 6/15/09]

It is about what a president DOES not what he says he is going to do off a script that counts. That was Palin's point.

And it might have been a good point if she didn't have "cut taxes" written on her hand.

But coming from someone who has to remind herself what she stands for with crib notes.... well... sorry.... her only point is the dunce cap on her head.

In that quote he does not say the stimulus bill was a success and he does not take credit for stimulus bill.

It's lovely.

Let's see the facts that demonstrate cause and effect. There is no actual evidence the stimulus bill has been a success, it's just propaganda put out by ObamaCo and dutifully believed and spread by the usual suspects.

Unemployment remains very high, 9.7% newly unemployed and 17% real unemployment -- much worse than a year ago and even worse than Obama predicted would occur without the stimulus bill. That's not good, and it's after hundreds of billions (of taxpayer debt) has been spent for stimulus. So sure that massive spending must have had some impact but the question is how much impact versus what would have happened anyway, what it's cost, and did it contribute to making our economy healthier so it can take off on its own.
