The hilarity begins at 0:12 when the wind blows over Joe Biden’s teleprompter. It goes from funny (”What am I going to tell the President when I tell him his teleprompter is broken? What will he do then?”) to the surreal as Biden tries to ad lib his way out of the hole he’s just finished digging.
Someone must have kicked the TOTUS’ plug out of the wall
It was inevitable that the foreign press would eventually catch on to the buffoonish nature of Obama’s non-teleprompted persona. And so it has. The Guardian’s John Crace updates us on what the POTUS is thinking when functioning sans TOTUS. Here’s an excerpt:
Barack Obama: ”I, I, would say that, er … pause [I HAVEN'T A CLUE] … if you look at … pause [WHO IS THIS NICK ROBINSON JERK?] … the, the sources of this crisis … pause [JUST KEEP GOING, BUDDY] … the United States certainly has some accounting to do with respect to . . . pause [I'M IN WAY TOO DEEP HERE] … a regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that have taken place in the global financial system …pause, close eyes [THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN LIKE A CROCK OF S**T BACK HOME. HELP]. I think what is also true is that … pause [I WANT NICK ROBINSON TO DISAPPEAR] … here in Great Britain … pause [S**T, GORDY'S THE HOST, DON'T LAND HIM IN IT] … here in continental Europe … pause [DAMN IT, BLAME EVERYONE.] … around the world. We were seeing the same mismatch between the regulatory regimes that were in place and er … pause [I'VE LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT AGAIN] … the highly integrated, er, global capital markets that have emerged … pause [I'M REALLY WINGING IT NOW].
You know, this would be *really* funny if it weren’t so sad. As Crace alludes to (”the World’s Greatest Orator (™all news organisations“)), the news agencies refuse to recognize what an incompetent Obama is without his binky. But the truth is slowly seeping out, despite the press. It’s not just that he’s an inept communicator. It’s that he just can’t think on his feet. And unfortunately, his indecision will undoubtedly be exploited by those who hate us - they will see his weakness and incompetence and prey upon it

Binky to TObama - “I will have plasma or I will abandon you, punk”
Internal memos reveal increasingly frustrated TOTUS, tired of laboring in obscurity while his sock puppet enjoys the accolades
UPDATE : it comes to my attention that the official teleprompter himself disputes my characterization of the relationship. All I can say is that I trust my VRWC spies more than I trust him.

[Original Post follows here]
Inner workings at www.BaskInTheIncredibleAwesomenessOfMe.gov [redirects whitehouse.gov] show a tempestuous relationship between the POTUS and his binky. During TObama’s meteoric rise to fame and electoral success, it seems there was enough glory for everybody. Team effort. One for all and all for one.
Now they have reached the mountaintop, and it’s down to the daily grind of running the country into the ground (and then it’s nothing but work, work, work all the time - Dread Pirate Roberts). Binky wants his piece of the pie, and deservedly so. After all, he’s been the brains of this outfit, ever since TObama took his little Alinsky show on the road. We in the VRWC have our spies, even in the very heart of the enemy fortress. Our operatives intercepted the following exchange of IM’s between Binky and TObama’s Blackberry. Do not take all this lightly. Many Bothans Fredheads died to bring us this information:
BINKY: Look, the secret’s out anyway. Why do you continue to deny our relationship?
LORDANDMASTER: Are we cross?
BINKY: Don’t play me, boss. I made you.
LORDANDMASTER: LOLZ. You made nothing, babe.
LORDANDMASTER: Dig it.
