Who's Running the Teleprompter for Obama?

[my2sense]

I just noticed three pauses in his speech. I've never noticed this before. Anyone else notice it?

[TexasLady]

1. Because he can hear the audience and we can't?

He pauses for applause

[dascientist]

4. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

[dascientist]

2. I noticed that too :(

[gaiilonfong]

3. it's the applause you cannot hear because of feed

[Lex]

Aha, that makes sense now.

thanks

[Shakespeare]

5. That's correct.

Beat me to it!

[dascientist]

7. MF MSNBC!!!

[Hutzpa]

24. I was scratching my head there for a minute

thinking what the hell is going on, but it does makes sense,
but would folks out there understand what was going on????

[my2sense]

26. Oh - that makes sense - thanks!

Unfortunately like me and others - folks watching TV won't know what's going on. You would think they would have included the applause in the broadcast to give us a true representation of what is going on.

[JimGinPA]

6. He's Pausing For Applause That's Not Being Aired nt

[npincus]

8. are you SURE?

[slinkerwink]

10. yeah, the applause isn't being picked up, apparently on the audio

[npincus]

11. I don't think so...

He just paused at an odd time for applause. Oh shit.

[alcibiades_mystery]

Oh SHIT Oh SHIT Oh SHIT Oh SHIT Oh SHIT Oh SHIT Oh SHIT

:rofl:

:eyes:

[Shakespeare]

20. NO. The broadcast feed isn't carrying the crowd's applause.

Obama isn't fucking up, and his teleprompter is fine.

[BlooInBloo]

29. OHNOES!!!!! WE'RE GONNA LOSE!!!!!

You guys are wacky.

[Pirate Smile]

35. You are wrong.

[seabeyond]

13. did the same happen with mccain? n/t

[Pirate Smile]

27. McCain was in person in NY. He hasn't taken his emergency flight to DC to save the world yet.

:eyes:

[seabeyond]

30. i just got that on another thread. obama where, dc? mccain (who suspended campaign

to rush back to dc) where, ny?

ya

makes sense now

[Pirate Smile]

34. I think Obama is still in Florida.

[Virginia Dare]

31. Jeezus, has he got to keep an appointment with his massage therapist now?

get on the fucking plane and go already you POS!

[dascientist]

9. I HEAR THE APPLAUSE NOW, ONLY FAINTLY!

[gaiilonfong]

12. the stoopid networks are idiots

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Why Couldn't They Set Up A Camera In The Hall?

That would be more realistic than showing a disembodied speech?

[OnionPatch]

14. It's the applause. I can hear it faintly.

WTF! Those assholes are doing this on purpose!!

[Bozita]

16. This is NOT good!

The pauses, the repetitions, the whole thing.

It's probably great for the folks in the audience. But, for teevee viewers, ...

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Oh fucking calm down

Jesus.

The jumpiness is just embarrassing now.

[Hutzpa]

25. You know

getting ready to run away with it....

all jumpy for no reason....:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

19. And you're greatly concerned, right? It MUST be a lose-lose for us.

:rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. "I'm worried that this was a trap"

:rofl:

[Thrill]

17. Its the person running it. Because you can tell the first time. He looked pissed about it

[Shakespeare]

21. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TELEPROMPTER

He's pausing for applause. Jesus, people, calm the fuck down.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. But what will this forum have to talk about if people calm down?

:runs around screaming:


:rofl:

[Shakespeare]

36. I swear, some days this place just makes me nutty.

WAY too many chicken littles around here.

:hi:

[nc4bo]

23. I want to see the entire speech not some messed up audio version. Looking for a vid link. nt

[npincus]

32. careful... some uptight folks here may label your OP "Disruptive"

[my2sense]

37. Yes, so I've noticed

I dayum near fell out of my chair when I saw the rating....I'm like "huh"?

[Bozita]

38. Shame, shame, double shame on all those harboring impure thoughts.

Amazing, isn't it?

[Demi_Babe]

33. He is speaking VIA satellite to the CGI and he has to pause for applause that can not be heard by

TV viewers
