What a great lesson to our elementary students that the President of the US can't talk to them without his 2 teleprompters?!?!? And people thought GWB was incompetent??? I think I would take my chances with Dubya in an quiz bowl over Obama; however, I would take Obama's teleprompters over both.

See the photo at the link below showing the ridiculous set-up at the elementary school.

I realize this is probably a complete waste of time, but I feel its important that the real story is given for those interested in knowing. too bad people are all too willing to waste so much time on such negative non-issues.

Here's what is true. Obama did bring teleprompters along for his Jan. 19 visit to Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va. They were set up in a classroom where the president made a statement to reporters about expanding his Race to the Top program to improve schools. That happened after he chatted with the sixth-graders in a separate classroom -- with no teleprompters.

If you think about it, we might have all been better off, if President Bush had used a teleprompter!
