Obama's teleprompter breaks in mid-speech
8 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama had just started a spirited defense of his economic stimulus plan on Monday when one of his teleprompter screens came loose, crashed to the floor and shattered into pieces.
The gadget's fall surprised Obama, who uses a teleprompter during most speeches and even brief remarks. The glass plate displaying his speech hit the floor in the auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a massive building within the White House compound.
"Oh, goodness," Obama said. "Sorry about that, guys."
The audience — administration officials, mayors and urban policy experts — laughed as Obama went back to his text. To finish his 11-minute remarks calling for a new policy toward the nation's cities and metropolitan areas, he used notes and the remaining teleprompter screen.
...see how quickly he reacted, with eleven long minutes to go to brief what is arguably his bread and butter pitch, he was able to get by on only one teleprompter.
two equals one - gotta love good planning

The Teleprompter manufacturer immediately declared bankruptcy and is expected to lay off 2,000 workers but emerge within 30 days after a reorganization and an injection of bailout money..

If the teleprompter was rigged to fall and divert public discussion from the content of the "administration's" (Fed's) fiscal plan and it's realistic implications - hats off to a job well done.

How's this for leadership? And will the economy also turn out to be a 58 foot change-up?

My Interview With President Obama
Dr. Jon LaPook Talks Health Care Reform With The President
July 16, 2009
CBS) I met President Obama yesterday. I interviewed him at the White House about his proposals for health care reform. But naturally, as we greeted each other, I asked about his throwing out the first ball at the All Star Game the night before.
"Were you nervous about bouncing the ball?" I asked. He grinned. "I will say it’s actually nerve-wracking," he said. "When they hand you the ball, there are just a lot of things that can go wrong."....
Coming soon to a WH near you...."Tele-pitching"!
