I've seen what's in the speech. Better put a diaper on this teleprompter.
White House press release: "President Obama announced he has directed one of his most trusted officials to take charge and mobilize all available government resources to effectively and expeditiously clean this blight on the American landscape."
Putting the slip-cover on transparency.
This is the way we clean our house, clean our house,clean our house.
This is the way we clean our house.,in Washington D.C.
Here, let me wipe off that sentence. I don't like how that's worded.
"At least this president actually uses it..."
I thought Bill outsourced this job....
Chris W.
New Orleans
"The last guy to use it was Joe Biden and we all know what a dirty mouth he has!!!"
Got to get the this thing spotless or Obama might have to read his announcement from his palms.
President Obama: Let's be clear, I want to be clear, transparent if you will.
Got to make sure the president can read this. OOP's I think I erased the message.
The White House cleans up after Biden's assorted F-bombs.
Setting up sound system for personnel announcement. A reincarnated Robert Palmer comes back to sing "Doctor, Doctor, Give Me The News...", and Bon Jovi throttles "Bad Medicine", because Medicare/Medicaid has been a headless horseman, without a leader. The President appears, during a recess, and quickly installs a Berwick device, to save the day, then vanishes. Hey, wasn't that The Lone Ranger, and we forgot to thank him.
A White House staffer takes measures to make certain that President Obama delivers a 'clean speech' in the East Room.
Just one try and you'll be saying Sham-WOW!!!
First the windows and now this!! This is not in my job description!!!!
caption: Darn! I don't know what's wrong...i played a tune on it last night before I went to bed and now it won't give it up.
If I scrub hard enough I was told 90% of this will be clean be the end of summer.
Answering a question from a reporter, a staffer says" yeah ,I guess they
have me on housekeeping duties but look at it this way, they could have sent me to the Gulf to pick up tar balls."
Practicing for the public announcement of the new Medicare/Medicaid head........"Is there a doctor in the house?".
Communicating, connecting to the youth vote.... "Talk to the hand....talk to the hand.".
Can you see it now? How about now? Now?
Timmy the Teleprompter gets a wipe down after some especially tough questions left him sweating. Mickey the Mike waits his turn.
With all the experience I have cleaning I should work for BP
Can you read me now?
For this I went to 4 years of Harvard, got a Masters in Poli Sci from Princeton, and am working on my law degree from Georgetown??? Maybe I should reconsider my future.
Setting up a congressional recess slight-of-hand trick. When the president raises the cloth, with slit-second timing, he performs a very technical proceedure, installing a doctor,,..without hearing....a sound. Brilliant.
You can't wipe off the words. You know that right?
Another first, the President wants to watch the World Cup on the Teleprompter.
President Obama doesn't need to write on his hand. He's got this instead.
With all my experience cleaning things up I should work for BP!
Read this and weep.
Be a little pessimistic is never bad – helps to act with caution.
Ah! So this is what is looks like when a man does "House" work.
CLEANER: Where are the Republicans if you need them to clean?
I'm still working too much and making too little. What else is new, right?
People, stop using Wite-Out on the teleprompter.
Clean...and oil-free!
From the outset, I knew that I was in for a long, trying period of my life.
Could you give us some guidance as to what our course of action should be?
Well, it looks like all those tears Lindsay Lohan shed yesterday were not a complete waste afterall!
Note to self: when speech writing, use fewer words with p's and s's.
Let's use shredded tires and golf balls to stop the oil!
I swear! This is not a baby pamper!!! I am just doing what I was told! Stop laughing at me!
Who needs glass cleaner? I little spit and some elbow grease will get the job done.
you asked for transparency...well here it is
No, no, no... this is how you apply dispersant!
Maybe if I wipe it clean he'll see whats really going on!!
As you can see there's nothing behind this sheet.....Voila! The spill is clean, the immigration issues are solved, the economy is fixed and the teleprompter is now a dove.
Wait...
Transparency – reduced to an 9" x 12" piece of synthetic material.
