#1 You have it all wrong. It is the teleprompter who needs Obama.

#2 Not quite a photoshop, but if you look at the drawings on the wall, it's not the same room in which he met with the kids. They had one room for the kids and another for an important statement from TOTUS.

Here's the photo OP before the Q & A with the kids. Apparently they did the photo op, cleared the room, had a Q & A with the kids, and then important words from SecEd and TOTUS in another room. I thought Barry looked a bit like Charlie McCarthy to Arne Duncan's Edgar Bergen in the video.

Slick media operation, fer sure.

#3 In high school, we learned how to give a speech with a handful of note cards.

#4 It's so simple. We don't need to wait until 2012 to change direction. Just reprogram the teleprompter and everything will be fixed. Plug in some Sarah Palin speeches for starters. Or plug in a Stalin speech and see if anyone notices...

#5 Load the teleprompter with the lyrics to "I Am The Walrus." Please.

#6 The kids were probably pre-screened, to insure that only the children of reliable Democrat apparatchiks were permitted in the room. And only children with acting experience who are politically reliable would be given scripts to ask questions and give complements.

Since they couldn't get enough of those kids in that school, they probably bused in ringers.
