Obama Can't Think Straight, Uses Teleprompter for Private Meetings

Obama has psychologically collapsed to the point where he is using a teleprompter even for private meetings in the Oval Office. His reliance on the device came up in coverage of his miserable Iraq War "victory" speech last week. At the end of a discussion with two journalists, a normally friendly Chris Matthews (CNBC) took a turn and unexpectedly brought up the topic, saying that, although he was a big Obama supporter, "if he doesn't get rid of the damned teleprompter..." at which point smiles broke out on the otherwise stoic faces his guests. Matthews called the device a "menace," saying "he's just reading words now," and that, "it's separating him from us." He said that he had been told that in a meeting with "businessmen," Obama had "hauled out the teleprompter," and literally read to his guests. Not having come to the realization of the true mental state of Nero the chief, Matthews said he should "use his heart and mind," instead of the machine.

Obama's reliance on the device has, of course, been the butt of critics for some time, with videos of him sending the teleprompter as an ambassador on foreign trips, and using it with the family at nightly dinners. As to rumors that one has been installed in the Lincoln bedroom, those have not been confirmed at the time of this writing.
