TOTUS goes to pieces………Literally

Ya know; I’ve heard of going to pieces on the job. But, this is a little ridiculous.

Jack Tapper reports:

ABC News’ Sunlen Miller and Jake Tapper report: If a teleprompter falls in the White House, does it make a sound?

Yes, especially when it’s the President’s teleprompter – or TOTUS as it is often referred to.

Midway through his speech on urban and metropolitan policy in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building this afternoon, one of his two small glass prompters came crashing down, hitting the wood floor and crashing in many pieces. It made quite a ruckus.

“Oh, goodness,” a startled President Obama said. “Sorry about that, guys.”

He then proceeded on with his remarks, “To pull our economy back from the brink, including the largest and most sweeping economic recovery plan in our nation’s history…”

For the rest of the speech the president relied on the one remaining teleprompter, to his right, and notes on his podium to finish his speech.

Shards of glass remained near the president’s feet for the duration of his speech.

Poor thing; must have gotten tired, with all the hard work in the White House. Either that or all of the Socialism had him depressed, and he just could not take it any longer.

Ooopsie!: In a slip of the tongue, Obama Demotes Russia’s Current President

This is kinda of funny….:

In a slip of the tongue, U.S. President Barack Obama described Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday as president, echoing the widely held view that he remains Russia’s most powerful man.

Putin surrendered the presidency to protege Dmitry Medvedev last May to take the lesser post of prime minister, but most political analysts say Putin remains Russia’s ultimate decision maker.

The dual leadership has left foreign leaders to walk a difficult diplomatic tightrope. In line with protocol Obama met Medvedev ahead of talks with the lower ranking Putin.

At a news conference Obama gave a carefully worded reply about the effectiveness of the leadership tandem when a U.S. journalist bluntly asked “who is really in charge here in Russia?”

But minutes later, speaking about Medvedev’s objections to a controversial missile defense system planned for central Europe, Obama slipped:

“I suspect when I speak to President..eh.. Prime Minister Putin tomorrow, he will say the same thing.

The teleprompter must have been taking a nap. 😀

….and yes, I know all about the Bush screw ups. So, no need to remind me. 😛

The Obligatory Vanity Fair does a Sarah Palin Article that causes WW3 in the G.O.P. Posting

Whew, that’s a long title… But it is what is happening.

Vanity Fair did a rather long article about Sarah Palin.  The long and the short of it is this; there’s nothing new in it. So, say Conservatives and Liberals. Now that is a rarity!

Because of what was written in the Article; Bill Kristol and Steve Schmidt and Randy Scheunemann are all screaming at one another:

“You’re a Douche!”

“No, You’re a Douche!”

“No, You are!”

I got news for ya Boys…. You’re ALL fucking douche nozzles in my book.

I'd hit it!

Yeah, She’s pretty. For a Neo-Con.

(Okay, I changed it, ya’ll happy now?!?!?!) 🙄

Hillary Clinton is now being pimped out for a female special interest group

Dear Chuck,
Remember Hillary’s speech in Denver last summer, when she said: "With our ingenuity, innovative spirit and creativity, there are no limits to what is possible in America"

That’s our message at NoLimits.org, a non-partisan organization that enables us to keep in touch and stay engaged on issues Hillary championed: health care reform; an economy that works for the middle class; a foreign policy that recognizes America is stronger when we have more allies, and safer in a world where women’s rights are human rights.

Some of our projects include:

  • Updates on congressional progress toward health care reform – and what we can do to make it a reality!
  • Our Equal Pay Action Kit, with a calculator that shows what the wage gap is costing your family, and news about policies that can make a difference.
  • Supporting the historic call for action against rape and violence against women in conflict zones, like the Democratic Republic of Congo, by Sen. Barbara Boxer and her new subcommittee on global women’s issues.
  • Speaking out about women’s rights as human rights and the implications for American policy. See this powerful video of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, about international women’s health.

A social networking site, where you can connect with friends you made along the campaign trail. You’ll see many familiar faces!
