SYNTAX ERRORWise up, America! This “President Obama” of yours may look rather lifelike, but in fact he is just an animatronic mummy stolen from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” exhibit at Disney Land. When he gives even the briefest of remarks the words do not come spontaneously into his head, from God, but instead are fed directly into his brain from a teleprompter. This makes everything he says a lie.

He used them [teleprompters] during a visit to the Interior Department to discuss endangered species, even as he recalled a visit to some national parks as an 11-year-old. “That was an experience I will never forget,” he said, reading from the teleprompter.

Ha ha, that last part is actually pretty funny. Obviously a robot who was manufactured a couple years ago out of Hope and basketballs would have no recollection of a human childhood.

Deputy Dan: Close “B” clothes mode.

I read “Gypsy,” doctor!

Why does the porridge bird lay his eggs in the air?

You know Obama never went to the national parks when he was 11 because he was too busy hob-nobbing with communist terrorist muslins in Kenya at the time.

He is history’s greatest monster and his birth certificate is a fake!

Canmon (the Inadequate) March 5, 2009 at 11:46 am

I want to see his “made in America” certificate.

…what I would do to see him do a “Max Headroom” style stutter!

I , for one, long for the days of Dubya and Palin straying from their prepared remarks. The raw humanity.

And who knew Hopey starred in Westworld? “Oh, we have a stimulus for you, for you….a stimulus for you.”

Is this like the scene in “The Man Who Would Be King” when Sean Connery bleeds and the natives suddenly realize that he’s not a god?

“I’m Barack Obama?”

AfghanVet March 5, 2009 at 11:55 am

I bet he can do a mean robot dance.

BillyClubb March 5, 2009 at 11:56 am

It may be that Barry is afraid that if he just ignores the teleprompter he’ll go “off message”, as they used to say about Dubya. And you know how embarrassing that was — for all of us.

“He used them [teleprompters] during a visit to the Interior Department to discuss endangered species, even as he recalled a visit to some national parks as an 11-year-old. “That was an experience I will never forget,” he said, reading from the teleprompter.”

Which, of course is a HUGE change from our last President…who couldn’t read from anything more complicated than “My Pet Goat”.

dickmalone March 5, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Gaaaah he does this because he CARES ABOUT WORDS. When did extemporaneous speaking become a qualification for public office?

bitchincamaro March 5, 2009 at 12:01 pm

I see him more as an Energizer bunny.

sux2bu March 5, 2009 at 12:02 pm

NEWSFLASH: All our presidents have been robots. You honestly think Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address without a teleprompter? Wake up, people! The truth is out there…

Does Obama dream of electronic sheep?

Klaatu barada nikto, Mr. President. Also.

psilage March 5, 2009 at 12:15 pm

… whereas the seemingly human GOP leadership can do nothing except read off of Limbaugh’s telepromtper. Ha!

Come here a minute March 5, 2009 at 12:17 pm

Obama can either remember the visits to national parks as a child, or read about them off the teleprompter. No waffling. Which is it? Make up your mind!

S.Luggo March 5, 2009 at 12:22 pm

Indonesia haz national parks?

Wonks Adventure March 5, 2009 at 12:23 pm

Republican strategist: “[When Obama doesn't use a teleprompter,] you can see him take a lot of time to think about what he’s going to say.”

thoughtful, inquisitive introspection = LOSER

He has to make up for Joe Biden.

AxmxZ March 5, 2009 at 12:27 pm

This is nothing. I had a dream last night that Barry was a murderous Cupid working his lethal magic a la Tarantino’s ‘Bride’ through a room full of fat white dudes.

shortsshortsshorts March 5, 2009 at 12:28 pm

REPLICANT:
Remember, they only live for 5 years, so fear not, Republicans. In addition, they have implanted memories, so a SHADOW GOVERNMENT has to remind him of certain things.

(Barry, delete from routine The First Law of Robotics.) Mr. Brooks, the president will meet with you now.

Hooray For Anything March 5, 2009 at 12:39 pm

[re=258428]Wonks Adventure[/re]: Oh, the horror, the horror of taking time to think about what you’re saying! Only real men say things without thinking about them first.

NoWireHangers March 5, 2009 at 12:45 pm

NOOBAMA SHULD MEMRIZE ALL TIMES HE TALK! HE SPEAKS LIKE AN ELLIEETIST. NOOBAMA IS BRAINWASHED BY COMMUNITS LIBRUL GEHZ.

turdsandwich March 5, 2009 at 12:55 pm

Anyone remember Jeff Gannon? Probably best that you don’t google him at work. Now, fast forward to Obama’s first big primetime Presidential “presser.”

What I think I’m saying is, “Shut up, New York Times.”

I mean, what do we really know about this Barack Obama? Do we have any evidence that he, you know, existed before 2004?

snideinplainsight March 5, 2009 at 1:11 pm

We can rebuild him … better than he was before… smarter… nappier… more fun at apres-Congress parties

Gallowglass March 5, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Can robots be muslins? I thought that was against muslin law.

The Helvetica Scenario March 5, 2009 at 1:39 pm

You’re not the boss of Tiger-Bot Obama!

skyinator March 5, 2009 at 1:44 pm

I think the Obamatron has a glitch somewhere because when he says Pah-kistan it sure sounds funny. And such.

blackdontcrack March 5, 2009 at 2:17 pm

I was at the Interior for the speech. The teledooder was there IN PLAIN VIEW of everyone. What did the Times think it was for? Ken Salazar’s hunting recipes?

Bruno March 5, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Cool, animatronic beasts can now puff crack and blow hillybillys who snort coke in the back a limos. Who knew?

Plus Kenya has a thriving robotics industry!

heathenish March 5, 2009 at 8:48 pm

“If he were just reading something someone handed him, and didn’t understand what it said, that would be one thing,” gee who does that sound like?

heathenish March 5, 2009 at 8:49 pm

at least he CAN read

phelps26 March 6, 2009 at 12:31 am

Abama is a fine president! try taking on someone like Zuma president of the ANC in South Africa,
this man believes taking a shower will get rid of Aids, raping a women is ok and that the white people in the country are counting down there days.
Please look out side of your little boxes and see whats happening in the rest of the world, before you give your president any more shit for just doing his job.
Plus as you all know he is just a puppet for the white house, as is every other president.
Wake up people.
forget race, forget culture, start thinking about what the F%$@#k this world is coming to, while you B*&@%h about bullshit.

phelps26
