    President Blockhead. Oh, that’s a teleprompter? My bad.

    Best pic of Captain Bullshit I’ve seen in ages. Metaphor for the man-child. A blank page, everything whited out.
    Nice not to see his dead eyes, blue rubber lips and jug ears, nor listen to his yelping voice.
    Even if it’s Rush or Levin playing an Uhbama clip to make their point, I mute ASAP. That’s how much I can’t stand that turd-in-a-suit.

    Reuters caption:
    “A teleprompter obscures U.S. President Barack Obama as he speaks during a campaign event at Capital University in Cleveland, Ohio August 21, 2012.”

    That’s a random and accidental act of journalism since the teleprompter has been obscuring the real Obama since he took office.

    To state the obvious, here’s a photoshop opportunity that is going to see a lot of creative efforts in the days to come.

    Everything from text — eg, “Leading Speaking from Behind” — to visuals — eg, headshots of Che Guevara and Bill Ayers.

    Sondra, I did notice the clever use of a blank post heading to go with the blank face.

    As always your post headings are one of the best things about any post.

    Please know that your efforts are always noticed and appreciated.

    That’s the clearest photo of The Immigrant Presidenture I’ve seen yet.

    And the most accurate.

    No, I don’t think so, Doug. They get smacked because they are thinking.

    flyswatter?

    No, that was the part played by a certain Mr. Sinclair.

    Considering that he almost always uses a TelePrompTer (yes, that is how it is supposed to be capped per the TelePrompTer company.)….anyhow, considering that he almost uses one, that little juxtaposition has been available to any photog that wanted to move into position to set up the shot.

    It is only now that they dare use such a pic.

    Even for some in the press, the tingle has worn off.

    Ever watch a cheap porno movie where they block out the face so you won’t know who’s performing the blow job?

    Didn’t work here either.

    …wanted to move into position to set up the shot.

    Kinda unfortunate choice of words. Didn’t mean anything by it, but it struck me funny when I re-read it.

    All that teleprompter pic needs is Hog’s tilting squirrel trying to read the back side of the blank screen and saying in a speech balloon, “hey, there’s nothing here.”

    For decades, no one suspected that we were being infiltrated, but we knew we weren’t alone that day in August when the Prompterian fleet appeared in orbit over our planet.
