Well, I can only tell you one thing. I teach 6th grade. They weren't listening anyway.

Is that a secret service guy behind him? If so were they afraid of a show thrower or a school shooter?

Shellie.. so, so true.

FQ... I missed that. Btw.. that guy is HUGE also. Look how he looms over the chalkboard. Is that lowered for kids or is he really that big? Talk about intimidation to 6th Graders.

Btw.. I wonder if they sang him a song after it was over?
Humm, hummm... Barrack TelePrompTer Obama!

I believe the gentleman in question is the Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan.

I can't believe that he needs teleprompters to give a speech to Elementary students.

Shouldn't his speech be along the lines of stay in school, stay out of trouble, get good grades, etc? When these students have to give speeches in class will they be wanting a teleprompter?

It is perplexing.

Possible Reasons:
1) Apparently he's such an intellectual that he can't remember everything he wants to say?

2) This is his body double and he's not authorized to give speeches sans prompters? It was actually limp synced as well.

3) This is actually advanced 3D Hologram Technology and Obama is just a recording? He's actually in Hawaii finishing out his jilted Christmas Vacation?

4) It's really no words... but just a huge mirror in the prompter.

speaks to the media after a discussion with 6th grade students

Could it be that he only turned on the prompters for the "talking heads"...?

It's better than George Bush Jr. and his reading of My Pet Goat while the trade center was bombed.

So true. I would have much preferred Bush to grab his heart and scream, "Hit the floor kids, we're under attack."

5) The 6th Grade questions are to hard and someone has to quickly text the answers on the screen. :lol:

I don't believe GW Bush was a junior.
