Bachmann promises to ban teleprompters from the white house if made president, flubs her own name - Polidicks

[url=http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/07/michele-bachmann-vows-ban-teleprompters-white-house]Video is in the source[/url] [release]Economists disagree on many things, but one thing you'll find a near-consensus on is the idea that President Obama's frequent use of a teleprompter is slowly destroying the American economy. Because of President Obama's frequent reliance on the teleprompter, credit agencies have warned that the United States' AAA credit rating could soon be downgraded, causing Americans' interest rates to soar. Unemployment, meanwhile, is stuck at upwards of 9 percent—again, because of President Obama's repeated use of the teleprompter. There are few issues more critical to the nation's well-being, which is why we're happy to report that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has promised to ban teleprompters from the Whiten House if she's elected president. Via Gregory Pratt: "I know you're not used to seeing a president without Teleprompters," she told an Iowa crowd. "But I'm just here to tell you President O'Bach — President Bachmann will not have teleprompters in the White House." Oof. Maybe those teleprompters wouldn't be such a bad investment after all.[/release]

Good luck trying to remember that very important speech you have to deliver. I mean, you could just, "Eh fuck it, let's wing this a bit." but that's not very presidential like. You may as well just say that the State of the Union will become "Comedy Hour at the White House"

I kinda want to vote for her just to see her either back down and use one, or even better, not use one.

I'd be embarrassed to write the stuff she would want to say on a teleprompter. [QUOTE=shatteredwindow;31378249]I kinda want to vote for her just to see her either back down and use one, or even better, not use one.[/QUOTE] It would be a great 4 years for Stewart and Colbert.

so she would rather presidents waste their time writing and remembering speeches?

Holy shit my sides.

The Bachmann presidency would bring a golden age of comedy. I wish I could see what it would be like if she was president without actually having to go through the collapse of my country.

Bachmann would be great fodder for Jon Stewart but I would prefer to have someone competent in the White House. The Daily Show will simply have to work a bit harder to maintain their genius

Bachmann is pretty much the satirized caricature of Palin, except real. Don't get me wrong - Palin would be bad, but no worse than Bush. Bachmann would be the worst president since Buchanan.

hahaha, oh bachmann is there anything you won't say

Reminds me of the Sarah Palin "President Obiden" thing.

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;31379161]With Obama, "Comedy Hour At The White House" is a reality, but that's intentional.[/QUOTE] He does it just to have a bit of levity instead of all this "uptight" nonsense. I personally appreciate it. That twitter post in the other thread just shows it.

Thanks for this worthless promise no one in the US cares about you dunce

[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;31379084]That's kind of funny due to the fact that both names are spelled similarly.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I noticed that when writing it, but Buchanan seriously would be a hard president to be worse than. You'd have to start a civil war to even match his level of failure.

what's so bad about using a teleprompter anyway?

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;31379315]what's so bad about using a teleprompter anyway?[/QUOTE] Obama does it, therefore it must be pure EVIL!

Richard Nixon used a teleprompter :v:

[QUOTE=Latency;31379438]Richard Nixon used a teleprompter :v:[/QUOTE] That's because he was a crook!

is this person a joke

I can't tell if this is a legitimate error or if she was trying to be funny. Either way this shouldn't be a campaign issue.

George Bush Sr. wasn't that bad. [editline].[/editline] Wait, I misunderstood the post entirely. Rate me box, everyone.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;31379253]Thanks for this worthless promise no one in the US cares about you dunce[/QUOTE] To be fair it's probably the only promise she'd be able to keep.

[QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;31380015] I'll just leave these here.[/QUOTE] They are allowed to use teleprompters, they are the best presidents and republicans. The president is a Democrat, so teleprompters must be banned to use in the White House till the republicans take back the White House. That is what they think. Bachmann shouldn't be president, or America is screwed, well, even more that is.
