That is by design, and I wouldn't fault them for not hanging anything else in there, as that was at the request of Mrs. Lincoln if I recall correctly. Were teleprompters part of the Mrs. Lincoln approved decor? Well, you got me there. They must have jumped the doggie fence from the other room...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

That's nothing to do with a teleprompter. Is a teleprompter OK if the Pres wrote the speech himself? Kallend: Notes? No - I have no issue with notes, John. But if you don't have a good enough grasp on the subject matter that you are speaking about, that you have to have the rolling complete version of a speech that you had someone else write, you should maybe not be president anymore. Notes are one thing, having to blindly read what others are throwing up on a screen for you is another. Yes, I do hold The President to have to be above board. He is the supposed leader of a country, not a bell hop. I think this should asnwer your inference as well Jakee.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,470 #49 June 9, 2010 Now, Wendy, whether or not there is actually a flag in the White House press room ceased to be relevant a long time ago. We have since moved on to whether Bush or Obama is more evil, stupid, manipulative and hypocritical, and mundane facts about flags and teleprompters have no place here.

I heard that Obama ordered all of the U.S. flags to be sent down to the Gulf and stuffed in the hole. And it was in a chain mail from a very reputable anonymous source!
