Did they remove all the children from the room when the TOTUS spoke?
I believe so.

It probably would have been best
Since kids tend to be more honest, they should have take them out of the room for Papa Obama speech
Due to the honest nature of most children, they probably saw it as a case of that classic childhood fairy tale-:
"The EmperorÂ’s New Clothes".
But among the crowds a little child suddenly gasped out, "But he hasn't got anything on."
Indeed, they can see better than some adults the novice in front of them. One does wonder if any were brave enough to yell out, "But he hasn't got anything on" after seeing the "real president" the TOTUS in action.
Even if it was for a presser and they took ALL the children out of the room, needing a teleprompter is still kind of embarrassing.
We're talking about giving a prepared statement and answering a few questions here, not the Gettysburg Address.
