Jumping ahead of the teleprompter at the National Academy of Sciences
Barack Obama and his buddy the teleprompter made an appearance at the National Academy of Sciences on April 27, where they played tag with the president's speech.
This is beginning to appear pathetic. President Barack Obama skipped ahead of his old pal, the teleprompter, while addressing the National Academy of Sciences.
From Politico:
Laying his plan for a President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks – before realizing he’d already introduced them, earlier in his speech.
“In addition to John – sorry, the – I just noticed I jumped the gun here,” Obama said, pausing for several seconds as he looked at the prompter. “Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys.”
The audience, which gave the president a warm reception, responded with a quiet laugh.
No word on whether the audience laughed because they thought it was funny or because they thought it was sad.
