The Obama Magic Act... Fooling The American People

Obama now needs even more help to fool and manipulate the American people! As reported in The American Spectator, Obama's handlers want to install an inconspicuous teleprompter or computer screen in his podium so his staff of "media managers" and propagandists can surreptitiously feed him information on what to say and who to call on during news conferences.

"...some inside the White House don't think that President Barack Obama hit a home run with his first national press conference... It looked scripted beyond the scripted part ... this one was pretty ham-handed."

...the White House is looking to install a small video or computer screen into the podium ... [to] make it easier for the comms guys to pass along information without being obvious about it" ... The screen would indicate whom to call on, seat placement for journalists, pass along notes or points to hit, and so forth

...Using a screen is nothing new for Obama; almost nothing he said in supposedly unscripted townhall events during the presidential campaign was unscripted, down to many of the questions and the answers to those questions. ... not only his opening remarks, but also statistics and information he could use to answer questions.

Obama had a teleprompter set up for his remarks last week ...but the White House couldn't use the teleprompter for anything but the remarks, because the journalists were so close to the screens. ...

The screen must be small and out of public view so the American people (and the world) can't actually see how they are being manipulated by Obama as he reads from a carefully crafted and prepared speech, and how his "knowledge of the subject" is actually being fed to him by a staff of researchers.

We've already seen that Obama isn't too smart when he's speaking from his own knowledge and not reading from script. He continually sticks his foot in his mouth making dumb (but otherwise truthful) statements like "redistributing the wealth", or claiming to have visited "57 states" (with one more to go).

It's not that Obama is "being taken out of context", it's that when he's not following his pre-written prepared speech, he frequently slips and tells the truth... allowing the American people to see what he really means, and what he really intends to do to them and America.

Obama, don't continue to mislead and try to hide your obvious lack of knowledge. When you don't know the subject or the answers, fill in the time with some jokes; check with someone who actually does know the subject; and get back later with an answer!

Obama's news conferences can now be called the Obama Magic Act... just like a slight-of-hand magician, or a fake and deceptive "mind reader" performing before an audience, and being fed information through a concealed earpiece!
