You've had your glass of warm milk. You've brushed your teeth and kissed your loved ones goodnight. So, sit back and enjoy your 2nd amendment rights. Go ahead...it's okay to poke a little fun once in a while!

Very lame attempt at humor and thinly veiled underhanded attempt to discredit a fabulous speaker. Go watch the George Bush gaffs. They're for real.

That is worse than I have EVER heard GW; And people are aplauding!? I guess eventually he will hang himself, heaven knows people have given him enough rope! Its just going to be slow and painful watching him.
On a different note, that language was pretty rough on that wasn't it Walter? (Iowahawk is one of my feeds)

Oh, lighten up. This is clever and funny. Anyone who is in the public eye is going to be used for humor, and frankly, I think our President would find this funny, too.
This is all about the teleprompter, and the fact that President Obama is a gifted speaker is part of what makes this funny.
Relax, will ya'?

Nice to know ignorance and racism is still rampant in Barnesville. I guess some things never change...

Quit bringing up Bush. He received more critizism from the press than Obammy has because the press loves him. You need to add the clip from St Patricks Day when Obammy started reading the Prime Minister's speech from the teleprompter and tanking himself, that was great. He a great representative of our country..ha.ha.

There is no denying that Obama is a gifted speaker; teleprompter or not. The fact remains that despite his color (directed to you #3) and despite ones need to see a discrediting of our president, the video is funny.

It is obviously a spoof and perhaps took some liberties in showing one of the well known facts of being a public official - the reliance on speech writers and teleprompters.

When we begin to take ourselves so seriously that we cannot laugh at simple muddling of words then we have bigger problems than deficit, unemployment, and wedlock. It is in times like these that sense of humor is so needed. I agree with 'cats'...relax, will ya?

Well done, President Barack Obama!!!

“Let the critics keep criticizing!”

There are many hateful & selfish people waiting on the down fall of OUR President which ultimately means you want our country to fail as well...What you should be doing is evaluating your own life trying to figure out what you could be doing to better yourself, your family, and to help your community.

Advice: Please don't waste your time getting caught up in the negativity!!!

How is this racist? It just shows that Obama cannot give a speech without his beloved teleprompter......It is not racist to critique the President. Many of you had 8 years to poke fun of Bush....Now it's our turn!!

so thats the way it is,you can dish it out but you can't take it....its okay to talk about every other president we have ever had....but not this one ...WAY!!!!!!!!!

It was kinda funny but I've laughed my ass off at W's gaffs. That's the only thing I enjoyed about the Bush era.

the race card is the only way out of anything directed towards obama. Have you folks not realized that. It is what it is.
Do i want most of Obamas proposals to fail. SURE I DO. Why not. Just because one of his suggestions doesnt get passed doesnt mean that this world is doomed. Why would anyone want 100% of his suggested "fixes" to go through. If its not best for this country give it the BOOT.
