| Obama gets ahead of prompter |
| 2009-04-27 |
| President Obama’s speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning hit a brief snag when Obama got ahead of his script. Laying his plan for a President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks – before realizing he’d already introduced them, earlier in his speech. “In addition to John – sorry, the – I just noticed I jumped the gun here,” Obama said, pausing for several seconds as he looked at the prompter. “Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys.” The audience, which gave the president a warm reception, responded with a quiet laugh. |

Betcha lots of people like me get positively apoplectic listening to his long pauses. I'd be sporting the impeach bumper sticker already if I didn't fear for my car being keyed and beaten. |

| #1 I wonder if this tragi-comedy known as the Obama Presidency will end like 2001: Space Odyssey where instead of HAL we have TOTUS taking over and shuttling The One at warp speed back to his embryonic days in Kenya? |
