Unfair criticism. With the world hanging on to his every word and trying to make something out of it to feather their own position or nest, a president SHOULD as often as possible deliver talks using the carefully prepared text from a teleprompter.

Like critizing his golfing to relieve the stress of his 24/7 job this is just anothe cheap shot at Obama.

I may despise some of his policies, but I promise to address the issues, not resort to this kindergarden-level personal criticism.

#1 - I did not see any criticism in the subject column, merely a summation of some of his activities.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much.

I wonder how many vacations and rounds of golf Abe played. Obama has a track record more like Nero then Abe.

What this shows is he´s talking us to death. "All words and no action". "Talk is cheap". "All hat and no cattle!" as they say in Texas. "Blah, blah, blah all day long" out here in California. New pole barn looks good on the outside but empty inside.

This is the usual from a blowhard politician. When he´s all done with his 699 speeches nobody can remember anything he said. He sure sounds good though.

Thing is the obama presidential library would be hard pressed for material without these speeches. This is all he´s got. Cheap words. Even a Vaudeville actor can deliver a script. Mr Teleprompter.

#1. Where do you get 24/7....oh, the new math, goes with 57.
Well mine goes like this. Not 699 but 666.

Criticism of the teleprompter is not directed at 0bama so much as its treatment by the sycophantic media and its pathetic attempts to ignore/suppress this man´s woeful lack of innate spontaneity and articulateness which requires a fair combination of intelligence and scholastic effort. Just imagine what the Press would have done if Bush, Reagan or Palin were so hopelessly dependent. That what it is about.

Remember when President Hologram went to meet with elementary school kids in their classroom? And he used his teleprompter to speak to them?
That was really special...
And as to the golf, on 52 days, the troops at Andrews AFB, who paid for the golf course, were denied the use of their golf course, so that the president could golf with his boyfriends.

Appears that Lucinanne is no longer a troll free zone.

"Grandpa" provided his Organizing for Action talking points today. Yesterday, a troll named "Rabbit" sent the OfA message. Could be one and the same. Sure sign of an Obama troll: First to post comment since there must be an Obama bonus for first placement. They also mention they hate some of his policies, but never explain which ones. Their only dislike of Obama is that he didn´t go radical sooner.

Obama cultists don´t read conservative Web sites unless they get paid.

This is a clear case of appalling Teleprompter abuse! I demand that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Electronics seek an end to this situation.

#1, yeah, heaven forbid a president should actually, you know, like, think about what he says. I will admit that it´s tough for an empty suit like scumbama, though.

Oh, and you can´t spell.

The real question is --Who put the words in the teleprompter´s non living expressions space
# 7 is correct and #1 may just be expressing a subtle sarcasm some can´t comprehend when they read the lines.

I found the figure of 836 flights on Air Force One to be astonishing. The 93 days without anything on his schedule wasn´t a shocker though.

Schools and police stations were burning in Stockholm as violent riots continued for a fifth consecutive night. Emergency services were called to 70 separate incidents, including two torched primary schools, burning shops and a destroyed library building also housing a local police unit. Despite police claiming that the situation is beginning to calm down, critics say the riots were unavoidable after years of widening social gaps in a country which has the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens in Scandinavia.

The lawyer picked Thursday to succeed Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago´s U.S. attorney is a former federal prosecutor best known for taking on corrupt politicians and powerful institutions such as the University of Notre Dame. Zachary Fardon would take over an office that has made its mark nationally by putting crooked government officials behind bars but increasingly faces pressure to do more to help in the fight against Chicago´s violent street gangs. "Zachary Fardon will be unwavering in his commitment to justice, and I am confident he will serve the people of Illinois with excellence," President Barack Obama said

The Democratic National Committee is accusing the GOP of "making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air." In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans´ accusations of scandal aren´t legitimate — a claim that´s sure to draw howls from the right."Getting in President Obama´s way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one. But now they´ve gone too far. They´ve been caught red-handed making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air to stir up false rumors of vast ´cover-ups´ happening in the White House," Woodhouse writes.

Country singer Josh Gracin was in Washington on Thursday night to perform at the Ninth Annual Night of Heroes Gala, and as badly as he may have wanted to, he wasn’t allowed talk politics in an interview with The Hill.“I’m very political, almost to where I get in trouble with my record label not to post anything [on Facebook],” the former American Idol finalist said. Gracin’s handler quickly stepped in, nodding to the recording device in my hand and helpfully reminding him that he was on the record.

The Obama Administration fought to keep a search warrant for James Rosen’s private e-mail account secret, arguing to a federal judge that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. The new details are revealed in a court filing detailing a back and forth between the Justice Department and the federal judges who oversaw the request to search a Gmail account belonging to Rosen, a reporter for Fox News. A 2009 article Rosen had written about North Korea sparked an investigation; Ronald C. Machen, Jr., the U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting Stephen Jin-Woo Kim,

As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli said “every one of those comments has a context and were spoken in my role as a minister, not as a candidate.” In particular, the black Republican took issue with the media’s outrage over his comments on abortion.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
