I bet when Johnny is assigned to give his oral book report, he'll demand one too.

The TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States) is displeased by this article. You piss of the TOTUS at your own peril.

So the stage monitors, cameras, newspeople, were all just hanging out at the school for a PTA meeting, and these national stories we read now are a shared drug dream we are all having? 
Given the Right's generation of hysteria and insanity over Obama's innocuous comments of encouragement for school students, he is a trooper for saying anything at all.

Again Dave, you miss the ENTIRE Point of the article.
No surprise however.
The guy can't get through a 6th grade "policy" speech without a teleprompter.

Dave, sometimes you need to learn when to concede the point.
My guy didn't know how to pronounce "nukular". You're guy looks silly bringing along his teleprompter to the elementary school.

Well, since our society has turned into a "Let's give them a trophy for just showing up" I can see how some people would call his a trooper for just "showing up".
You just look silly on this issue Dave trying to blame it on the "Right".

Can he look any more unapproachable than he does there? Come on, the podium, the bullet proof screens, its a group of 6th graders you idiot, not the Taliban. He gets more useless as the days go by.

Perhaps you missed the two screens on either side of the podium at the same height as his head? They aint sneeze guards.

I like the whole PA system, monitor speakers-at-his-feet too, cuz you know a classroom is just so big you can't project your voice.
Bulletproof (Lexan) screens double as a projection surface...it's part of the stage package. Comes with it.

I disagree. His level of use, I suspect, is constant. It just becomes more appearant as the days go by.

I have a sixth grader. If he showed up in her class with his "kit", all the kids would be thinking would be "how lame".

Ya, sounds like government return-on-investment math.
And yes, they DO search the 6th graders with a metal detector and explosive sniffer.

Here's Obama dropping in for a chat with his middle-class task force. And people made fun of Reagan because of his notecards!
