Biden says"what will 0bama do?"; wind blows down teleprompter! Video.

What did TOTUS have to say about it?

"
Alive and Well

I'm sure some of you have seen the footage of Joe Biden's speech today, where after the wind has knocked a Teleprompter screen over, he said, "What I am going to tell the president when I tell him his teleprompter is broken. What will he do then?"

First, it wasn't me.

Second, we don't bother giving Joe a real Teleprompter. It's just two screens that plays "Tom and Jerry" cartoons on a loop."

You knew it had to happen sooner or later? Even technology has its limits: The President's constant reliance on the use of teleprompters has resulted in the first known case of teleprompter catastrophic failure:


President Barack Obama was just warming to the topic of the challenges facing urban America on Monday when disaster struck.

Off came one of his teleprompter screens and plummeted to the floor with a crash and shattered.

"Oh, goodness," the president said to laughter. "Sorry about that guys."

Obama, an eloquent speaker who has been criticized for relying too heavily on his teleprompter for routine remarks, made it through the rest of the address on one screen
 
Yeah, if he doesn't have TOTUS, he can't use his hypnosis techniques.

This is 'Bom's link below. There have been new TOTUS journals since this one that are at the top of the page.

I'm Okay
Remember how I was hoping to take the next couple of days off? Well, that hasn't worked out so well.

My White House designated operator, Felix, clearly has to go. Today, Big Guy and I were scrolling and speaking to an interest group that supported us, and during the middle of the speech, one of my screens collapsed. Turns out Felix didn't tighten one of my screen's bracket rods, and one of my screens collapsed. It was kind of embarrassing, and the accident looked alot worse than the may have seemed on video.

All that said, I think I tweaked something. It may be my ACL, or maybe my MCL, or my "T" joint. Regardless, the Secret Service sent me first to George Washington University Hospital, where there is a special ICU and care facility for senior administration officials. But a good friend of mine, I'll call him Browny for legal reasons, ended up in a coma there after having "minor sinus surgery" if you get my drift, and there was no way in hell, I was going to put up with that.

So off I went to Bethesda Naval, where I figured I'd get looked at and released. But then there were the X-rays, the MRIs, the prodding and poking, the seemingly endless attempts to draw blood where the nurse couldn't find a vein despite my best efforts to explain that I was merely a humble hard-drive. Yet the poking and prodding continued.

Then they discovered that I basically had a limited warranty, and out the door I went. Someone really ought to try to look into this health care thing.
