[this diary rescued from oblivion by force majeure]
The Corner has a link to this goodie, which includes video. Obama gets out of sync with his best friend the TelePrompTer. The audience chuckles politely at his subsequent strained attempt at humor. What I think is funny besides the obvious is that he catches himself and stops before using the word “TelePrompTer”.
If you can’t trust your TelePrompTer, who can you trust? Can you imagine the field day Olbermann and friends would have had with Bush doing this, proving what a mental midget he was?

A cult of personality arises when a country’s leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.[1] Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships.
TelePrompTer does not like be ignored
antisocial Monday, April 27th at 1:14PM EDT (link)even a pretense is not acceptable. Obama tried to run ahead. TelePrompTer did that right thing. Gave him a taste of what it is like when Big Guy goes against TelePrompTer.

I bet the TelePrompTer gave #2 an earful afterward.

We all know that the TOTUS does like the Barack’s raw talent with the confident cadence thing, but if Obama can’t stay on key for 60 minutes, who is the TOTUS going to turn to? It’s not like discipline is #3 Joe Biden’s strong suit.
You don't deserve to be my mouthpiece

Ed Harken: Dammit! Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter?
I’m picturing the TOTUS talking to Obama in the voice of HAL from 2001 A Space Odyssey
The little red light on the teleprompter lights up.
“Hello Barack.”

To me Barack is more like HAL than one of the astronauts
