Gaffe Reduction Device to be Deployed by Obama Campaign

CNN) — It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I should have clarified - the gaffe reduction device being deployed in this case ISN'T duct tape on Biden's mouth. :-)

pretty damned hypocritical, considering that the first verdict on Sarah Palin out of the mouths of the obama surrogates in his campaign and those on the MSM were something along the lines of "she reads a speech off a teleprompter very well".

Considering she spent at least half of her convention speech WITHOUT benefit of teleprompter, she does pretty good speaking like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING as well.

I saw this earlier (damn work firewall has me blocked during the day now).

This is a notorious first.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

ok, my question wasn't very well phrased.  :rotf:  my point is that we really haven't been around very long.  I doubt that we are showing up on nation wide time wasting site lists . . . the guy in the next office must be a lib, and ratted you out. :-)

I'm flattered, in an odd sort of way, if we are already getting blocked by general firewall filters.
