Obama Gets Ahead of Teleprompter

April 28th, 2009 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags: ,

Oh my; can you imagine the jokes liberal blogs would have made if this would have happened to George W. Bush?

While giving a speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning Obama accidentally ‘began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks – before realizing he’d already introduced them, earlier in his speech.’

“In addition to John – sorry, the – I just noticed I jumped the gun here,” Obama said. He then paused for a couple of minutes, looking at the telemprompter. “Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys.”

    He provides great material for late night comedy. Do they still resist the temptation to use it? Must be agony. Some outspoken idiot immediately goes to the media and cries “racist!” First president in history who is satire proof.
