Barack Obama's teleprompter has its own blog. And it has a Twitter page, too, in case you want to follow him. Both Drudge and Rush just picked up the blog, so expect it to go down soon. This is a very funny post about the teleprompter hiccup with the Irish PM:
Well, last night didn't go well. What can I say? I was tired. By the time Barack and the Irish PM stood up, the President and I had already done two major policy speeches, three nomination announcements, and light dinner banter for a table of twelve. And by the way, that "ad lib" last night about Guinness? Mine.
So why am I going public now, when for the past two years I've let others do the talking? Well, this is a thankless job, and I sure don't want to take the fall for communications missteps. But more important, I expect you'll be seeing a lot more of me over the next few months and years. Barack and I don't go anywhere without each other; we even complete each other's sentences ... well, more mine than his, but let's not split hairs.
That is simply too delicious! I bookmarked the page and will be checking back often.

Wonder if we can just replace Obama with a teleprompter. As far as I know, it hasn't taken any campaign contributions from AIG.

I wonder how TOTUS feels about cap and trade? Is he scared this could punish some of this friends like the blender or the microwave?

Worried? Nah, Secretary of Energy is right on it. Something about magical rainbow colored unicorns generating all the "free" electricity you'd ever want.

I wonder if his teleprompter was made by DIEBOLD? Can it be hacked to change it's content in the middle of a speach?
