Sit down: FUX news reports Obama heard applause in earpiece (from FR)
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 10:16 AM by npincus
My goodness, what's going on over there? Did any other network provide an explanation for Obama's pauses?

(on edit: this thread is 'Disruptive"? How so? Anonymous critics please step forward and explain.)

Teleprompter does Obama In
Fox News | 9.27.2008 | Fox News

Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 10:52:53 AM by ODDITHER

Anyone listening to Obama? His teleprompter is screwed up. I think they left the applause lag time in.

He keeps waiting for long periods and then starts over.

He sounds like a 10th grade trying to read in front of the class. He punctuates I instead of President. He also sounds like he doesn't believe a thing he is saying. He acts like a kid that was pushed out in front of the audience and told to perform and he doesn't know his lines. I can hear MSNBC - We are investigating into the recent alligation that the teleprompter Obama uses was tampered with. Our sources tell us that the company that makes this type of teleprompter is a supporter of McCain/Palin.

I watched, noticed, Fox news says he had earpiece and could hear applause, thus the pause...whatever - he still looked stupid as ever.

3. oh, right. Like FR postings have never appeared on this board.
Where've you been?

The point being that FUX provided a true, rational explanation for the pauses in the live feed from Obama's speech INSTEAD OF manufacturing the episode into a weapon to beat him with. That is the point of publishing that shit here.

5. yes... I thought the Teleprompter bagged out, a couple of times.
Long, long pausees. Because it was a live feed, the television audience could not hear the applause and I have to say, my stomache turned watching it... until another DUer explained what it was. I skipped over to FR to see how they were going to blow it out of proportion and was surprised to see that it wasn't being exploited- YET.

12. As opposed to their guy who is the president...
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 10:17 AM by texas1928
Who smirks everytime he actually has a complete sentence. Christ bush talks in soundbites. When he speaks it sounds like they wrote the speech for his short attention span. You half expect a guy to be down front snapping his fingers each time the president says something, just to get his attention back on the teleprompter.
