Ah, the polished, eloquent statesman in his natural habitat. A magnificent creature, ain't he.
In related news: a brief college fad for Obama-themed drinking games, featuring a shot of Bartles & Jaymes consumed for every "uh" in a selected presidential speech, ended after a single week with the cirrhotic deaths of all participants.
Iowahawk, I think I love you. My ribs hurt from laughing.
Oh, but the real question is: What do we do after the teleprompter jokes get old?
Well said said Telepromter!
"uh, uh, uh, I, I, I, bu, bu, bu"
I mean
"bu, bu, bu, uh, uh, uh, I, I, I"
But if he ever gets Mel Tillis to teach him to sing, you're done for.
Imagine the news anchors: "Tonight President Obama will amaze the nation with yet another of his hidden talents and sing the the state of the union address".

Dave,
I loved this when you first made it months ago. My question though, is how did you become so prescient? I mean, really. Not only is the topic on the web everywhere, the Teleprompter has its own Wiki page, Blog site, Twitters, and has its own Facebook page. Not to mention, it gets mucho attention on El Rushbo's show. Either you have psychic powers, or are just cool like that. Or both.
And Biden and Pelosi as his back up singers – The 'Bam-ettes. Lord help us.
I only got to 1:09 where he's stammering about some costs of something.
Are you serious? This is the man that even people do not support him rave about what a brilliant speaker he is? Help me, people. Because I swear to you that this feels like a mass hallucination. Everyone says how eloquent he is, but the few times I have forced myself to listen to him, it's been all this stammering and blathering nonsense.
What am I missing? What is everyone in the world hearing but me?
mohammed is his messenger! haw!
I don't hear it, either. I've been assuming it's some sort of race thing–you can't say a black man is "articulate", but it's worse to say he's not.
I love the bit about the teleprompter and hope it stays around as long as Barack does.
What stands out most to me as I watch him stumble with his words and struggle to gather his thoughts, is how he blames the "fired-up" audience members for his inablilty to finish a sentece. Could you imagine if he were answering teleprompter-free questions from actual fired-up Americans?
Thanks again, Iowahawk.
Nice
My money is on both.
That made me laugh, and yet terrified me all at the same time.
Required watching by all registered voters! Those that avoid must be confined and forced, as per "Robot Chicken"!
I started feeling bad for Obama while he was up there stammering away until I remembered his attacks on private citizens. Not so much now.
TELE-PROMPTER
with special guest
barak obama
ROFL!
Ihhhhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh llllllllike it! Thanks for the laugh.
*snort* Too funny!
This is my first comment on Big Hollywood, but I read this blog every day. LOVE it.
"With special guest Barack Obama" — that was brilliant!!! Very, very nice Iowahawk! Thanks!
They never do. This stuff is just the 115,392,836th variation of a tiresome wingnut trope.
SEE: Rather, Dan.
I do NOT want to see Obama singing the State of the Union. Do you know the song "Bicyle Race" by Queen:
"Socialism!
Socialism!
I want to be a socialist!
I want to be a socialist!…"
(shudder)
As always wonderful Iowahawk! Slay the Barry with wit and humor and a teleprompter with needs, ha…
We make fun of the other 400 mistakes this idiot has made in the last 50 days. How stupid does he need to be to get lefto sycophant Steve Kroft asking him in an interview if he's punch drunk?
Now BO's blackberry has a blog :
http://obamasblackberry.blogspot.com
I laughed, I cried (from laughing harder) and it made my day a little bit brighter.
Yeah the "special guest" bit is where I started crying I was laughing so hard.
Just 400? Looks like I really need to update my O-Noes! List, although in my defense the pen did run out of ink.
And the Kroft thing was illustrative, if people who are rabid leftist start musing about his competency, to his face no less, then Obama has to know that things are definitely not going according to plan.
I know what you mean, my friend. But more than anything, I am just confused.
I think the funniest picture of him was when during the campaign he brings his teleprompter to a rodeo
Yey! Welcome to the sanity!
Date on the video: Sept. 29, 2008. If President Punchdrunk wants the mean old teleprompter trope to go away, maybe he should practice suppressing his ad lib retard jokes and off-script giggle fits.
Confused factors in as well, in fact I find myself repeating a line from Firefly to myself on a fairly regular basis,"“Okay, um..I’m lost. Uh.. I’m angry!,…and I’m armed.” It helps center me.
Next it'll be his bowling ball. Or his tax return.
The teleprompter wouldn't be such a big deal if the left hadn't been so vicious about GWB's speaking ability for the last 8 years. Then they get Telepromtper Jesus who managed to sound so good … but now we see and know that it's all fake. Without his teleprompter, he's actually several magnitudes worse than GWB ever was, and yet, he's still "so smart."
"On a side note, this image just came to mind: "Luke, I -er-uh- I, I, I, I uh, I am-just hold on here-I am-Bear with me-I um I am your your your um I am your-just wait just a second-I am your um father.""
Now that's funny too!
I will never be able to listen to that song without thinking of this ever again. Thanks, thanks a lot. LOL
Well that did a freaky double post on me, fun.
I thank GOD and His son Jesus that George W. Bush, the idiot of idiots, is not in office now. And, why don't you racist pigs go back to your damp basement, pick your pimples, fantasize about doing your Mama and off yourself?
Are teleprompter gaffes the best you idiots can come up with? How about your dimwitted leader George Bush's flubs like "Hussein has weapons of mass destruction." Or your withering god Reagan's regurgitated tripe about "trickle-down economics?
You are all diseases.
Yes, that's the thing, they pointed out how "stupid" Bush was because he didn't measure up to their standards of eloquence but they insist that Obama is the greatest speaker of all time, but he proves he's not every time he's without his crutch. The humor is in the hypocrisy as well, not just on the obvious lack of coherence when having to speak in his own words extemporaneously.
And for all of Bush's "poor speaking ability" just recall his words and delivery while he was at the ruins of the Twin Towers while they were still smoking. He was speaking off the cuff, honestly, and passionately about "The people who did this…" and that video is something that will go down in history as a great moment, on the same level as many of Churchill or FDR's famous wartime remarks.
Now by contrast insert the "greatest speaker of our time" Obama into that scene and imagine how it'd turn out. Not nearly as well I'm sure. Bush was at his best when we was allowed to be himself and speak his own words, Obama is at his worst. And remember Obama remarked on the campaign trail with his "Just Words" speech (which had already been given for the most part by someone else no less) that words really do matter. So by his own standard, he should be held accountable for every word he speaks, and how he delivers them.
I think someone talented could throw together a great skit about Teleprompters Anonymous:
BO: "Hi, I'm Barack Obama and…"
Group assembled: "No, man, do it without the teleprompter!! Yes, you can!"
BO: "Okay, here goes…Hi, I'm, uh…uh…I'm…Barack…um…uh…Barack…now, wait a minute, bear with me…I'm…"
Meeting Moderator: "I'm sorry Mr. President, we're out of time. But you can try again next week…"

How eloquent you liberals are…in a pus-spewing demonic sort of manner.
I'm wondering what union Tele is in? WGA wouldn't allow him – too literate and sane.
Hey Obama! Porky Pig called. He wants his act back.
LOL This guy projects himself on us rather well don't you think?
[...] It’s Iowahawk. [...]
You mean the same Hussein that in1998 all the Democrats in office were saying had WOMD? What shor memories you hypocrites on the left have.

Calling them pus-spewing demonic types is actually going easy on them, but I don't want to wind up in moderation for a month so I'll just second that.
Even more amusing is when they come in with their infantile tirades on a whole thread of well written and coherent thoughts and their high ground rebuttals are nothing more juvenile attacks that have more basis in reality if they'd hold a mirror up than to the people actually commenting here. It's a more than a little sad.
And of course the inevitable "racist" zinger, hoo boy that never gets old does it?

Hilarious video!
I never thought George W. Bush was that bad — at least he was just being himself, and even through his epic confrontations with the language, there was substance in his words. But this jackass makes W look like Winston Churchill.
No it's just the gaffe of the moment. We'll get to the rest of them in our due time I'm sure.
So by your standards Clinton is the dimwitted leader of leftist trolls like yourself then too seeing as how he was "confident" that Saddam had WMD as well.
Also bringing up Reaganomics while people are watching their savings accounts disappear before their very eyes may not be such a bright idea on the part of you people.
Oh and please do tell Arianna, Kos, or whatever site sent you that they need to find some better talking points, and definitely some better quality trolls. I mean Big Hollywood deserves so much more than the clownshoe bush league rookies that keep popping up lately.
How about you refrain from using God's name in vain in your hate filled screed?
After you've done that, stop with the name-calling and lies (there is no mention of race in this video) and vulgarity. And then return with some sort of rational comment or argument to contribut to this discussion. How about that?
Oh, wait. You have none.
Yeah, racist zinger went the stringer of my heart. I feel so sorry for them. The brain ache that must result from any mental activity beyond chanting "O-bam-a!" is horrific to imagine.
Absolutely. I mean seriously, Kroft is pitching wiffleballs across the plate and Bozo-bama starts giggling about the world economy going down the toilet? This man has no judgment at all.
Your style, Mr. stopsuff is one of the greatest gifts and validations we Conservatives have, Thank you.
I think that Barack should give his next press conference in French!!
I may be going out on a limb here but I think saying that he has no judgment, no couth and no class is justified. And I'm pretty sure Gordon Brown and family would back me up.
Shh… come closer,,,,Reagan nor Bush are president and I would rather have trickle down wealth as opposed to trickle up poverty.
'Stop' for stopstuff

I O W A H A W K/Big Hollywood Rule!
Note to self: To avoid filling lungs and sinus cavities with hot coffee, do not read Iowahawk's work while having a cup.
Is the Big O's telepromter somehow related to HAL 9000??
French is far too bourgeoisie though, how about in Arabic?
HAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Thanks, D.B. — another classic.
Yeah, that worries me. We can vote a president out of office, but what to do with a power-hungry TP with an iron-clad lifetime warranty???
Trickle up poverty – that's a great turn of phrase. Don't know if that's your own ad lib or someone else's, but I'm stealing it. A new meme is born: Obamanomics = trickle up poverty.
Iowahawk you have hit the mark, apparently. Touchy trolls about your Messiah’s teleprompter dependency are we, Bha…wa…
How about you actually read the posts, douchenozzle?
I'd prefer the Eagles as a closing number: "So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and never even know we have the key." Or maybe "Just remember this my girl, when you look up in the sky, you can see the stars and still not see the light."
Amen.
Excellent! Great video! Thanks!
Remember the telepromper scene in "Bruce Almighty" ? It was so funny, but now . . . yikes! Too close to home.
Help, Golani. I don't even have a basement, let alone a damp one. Look at the bright side. He has raised the tone of trolldom on this site. He didn't call us "rascists."
I've sent the video to everyone I can think of, and I'm going to try to think of a few more.
I'm guessing President Obama uses a teleprompter because he has the benefit of 8 years worth of footage from ol dubya who didn't use one. The results weren't pretty. And besides, do any of you think anyone really cares about whether or not Obama uses a teleprompter? Obviously not, considering that he won by the largest margin of victory in a presidential race in 20 years.
Is this what it has come to for republicans? Petty, petty, petty. But if you really want to see some funny archive footage, check out some of Sarah Palin's greatest hits, or Bobby Jindal, or even better, George W Bush. If ever there was an argument for using a teleprompter, it's Ol Dubya!
Amen. Repubs have no legitimate beefs with Obama, so they have to resort to lame teleprompter jokes. I mean come on! This bit wasn't even funny.
[...] related: Is Iowahawk behind the new “Barack’s Teleprompter’s Blog”? [...]
As a lover of Washington politicians and Barry “O” what’s in it for you?
What’s it like to be in love with a Washington politician? Do you dream of Barry on a cold night? What’s in it for you?
Absolutely brilliant. LOL! "Comedy gold" indeed.

You,my friend..are a guinness!….BEER ME!
Love him? I want to marry him. And I'm ALREADY MARRIED.
I see you still haven't stepped up your troll game. Don't they courses or something you could take? This is really embarrassing… I'm not even going to -1 you… it just wasn't worth it.
"no legitimate beefs"?
Let's see. Before election: his close relationship and 20 yr. membership in Wright's church, a man who lies about the US government inventing AIDS to kill black people. His close ties with Ayers. His vote in favor of infanticide. After election: His… 4? 6? I forget how many already failed nominees due to ethical concerns. The obscene debt he has put the US in with the so-called stimulas package. His apalling treatment of PM Brown. His attempts to "reach out to the moderate Taliban" – whoever exactly they even are. (Hint: there is no such thing.) On and on I could go.
These are not legitimate concerns to you? How about you address any or all of these? And by address I mean show me where any of this is made up or factually wrong.
Oh, wait. You cannot.
I have a parking garage way down underneath my place, does that count as a basement?
I always kind of liked when they said rascists though, it's very Fuddian and all, which makes it seem about right to me on the sliding intellectual giant scale.
I agree, that was just weak tea if you ask me.
Yep, definitely on a par with ice cream brain freeze, just not anywhere near as fun.
yet obama's victory was greater than both of w's victories combined. what's your point?
I don't know, you guys seemed like you had a pretty hot & heavy man crush on W for a while there. You tell me.
Upload Vista. That will freeze it up and eventually kill it.
I just heard that the teleprompters union is going on strike everywhere. The mere mention of 220v, a warm and fuzzy carrying case and heated compartment have angered the rank-and-file. This is pure comedy gold. Iowahawk – you're a troublemaker!
I stutter myself, but even on my very worst day, I can get a full sentence out in less than 30 seconds. Even if I'm leading a meeting or giving a speech to my peers. I studied up on this, and James Earl Jones had a stuttering problem too. So did Marilyn Monroe. And, I think, Charlton Heston. After years of therapy, their unique styles are now legendary. Imagine what Obama could do if he'd stimulate the speech therapy profession.
"Luke, I -er-uh- I, I, I, I uh, I am-just hold on here-I am-Bear with me-I um I am your your your um I am your-just wait just a second-I am your um father."
That's all, folks!
Hey there little buddy! I see you's back for s'moe smartin'.
What you failed to understand is that we can show support for W on one policy and disagree with him on another without hate. Your people can't seem to seperate good and bad policies without hate. Infact, your people hated W because he beat your guys twice, regardless of any good he had done; like kept you alive to continue to voice your hate.
W beat your guys twice. Besides, Obama didn't run against W, so what's your point?
How about you refrain from using God's name in vain in your hate filled screed?
After you've done that, stop with the name-calling and lies (there is no mention of race in this video) and vulgarity. And then return with some sort of rational comment or argument to contribute to this discussion. How about that?
Oh, wait. You have none.
I guess it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt… Sorry, I should have put a disclaimer.
I'd settle for Pig Latin, if it meant he could complete a sentence sans teleprompter. I really feel bad for the guy. That is, until he starts autographing stuff in his office.
Don't worry, I won't ever call him Hitler. Hitler at least, for all his horrific faults, did his job and RAN his country.
Obama is more like … Emperor Nero. Interested only in the adulation of the masses and his own entertainments, content to fiddle while the world burns so long as he can at least force a facade of loving adoration. You just keep giving him what he wants now.
I think Pres. Obobo has been drinking his own Kool-Aid.
Noone has asked for Baracks teleprompter's opinion? You can find it here: http://baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com/
How about you little trolls go rolling back to your nutblogs, and spew forth your venom and hate there, I'm sure it will be very welcome. God forbid if we were to trash talk there, we'd get a keyboard lashing in record time. Conservatives ARE funny, and liberals are funny…to laugh at! I've had more LOL moments here than I have had in a long time. I continue to come back to BH (since Jan.) to read what like minded people have to say, particularly because liberalism has infected, and polluted so much of our lives. I'm just not interested in what some libtard (or libturd -take your pick) has to say.
Liberals "claim" that they "care", and are for fairness & equality–could have fooled me. Bush was fair game to them, so, Obama is fair game to us. Libs open minded? Ha! They are the most narrow minded people I have ever met. The only "right" they are interested in is their "right of way"…on a one way street–no opposition, and if they want to rumble, I say–Bring it on! I'll bet most of them couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag anyway, especially those anemic looking PETA people.
[...] Rick Moran Is there anyone funnier than Iowahawk? [...]
If you include one more election, than Obama's margin of victory isn't quite half what Reagan's margin of victory was. 58% to 40% in the 1984 election against 53% to 46% in 2008. That's the funny thing about statistics. Behind every one that makes your case, there's another statistic that proves the case wrong.
[...] Iowahawk via Big Hollywood [...]
Again with the double post, had that problem all day, nothing to see here, move along.
A.ssociation of C.ommercial M.onitors & E.lectronics perhaps?
I’m sorry Mr. Hillbilly, I don’t care for any Washington politicians. You hang around a conservative blog rushing to the defense of your beloved Messiah, and Washington politicians in general. If you’re not in love with Barry you just like being a (you pick the noun), huh? What are your hopes and dreams? Do you hope to Sec 8’ed near the Magnificent “O” ? Looking for a raise on your SS disability check? You want to be able to buy booze with your food stamps? You want a real doctor at the health dept.? What’s in it for you? Why does a free man vest so much into a Washington Politician?
Geez, I thought I was the only one who felt that way! I see I have competition.
I think WH might be the one with a "man-crush" on W. In a twisted, abusive form, of course.
Over on FaceBook a few of us had a discussion regarding the mass hypnotism that apparently has ensued. There are some people, such as myself, who simply cannot be hypnotized. Since the first time I tried to listen to a speech by the Big O I just couldn't do it. His words LITERALLY did not make sense to me, and the timbre and tone of his voice made me aggitated. This was BEFORE I had any clue who he was. Maybe that's the deal, 48% of us voters simply cannot be hypnotized.
And Obama's approval rating is lower than Bush's on his 64th day. We can go back and forth like this all day if we have to.
Capitalism as it's best ….
Iowahawk,
I'm your biggest fan. You are with out a doubt the best and funniest satirist on the web. My first encounter with your blog was when I read "I hate my boss", a jab at the now-in-hell Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.
I laughed so hard I almost peed. And at my age, I gotta watch that.
Actually, he did. And we got some of them before others were looted. Just a couple of references:
