Rubio Slams Obama's Teleprompter While In Front Of Telemprompters At CPAC

The Tea Party's choice in the Florida Republican primary, Marco Rubio, began his address to a crowd of conservative conventioneers by taking a shot at President Obama for reading from a teleprompter. He did it while standing in front of two easily visible teleprompters.

It was unclear whether the devices were placed there for him or for other speakers at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference, or CPAC, at which he was a keynote speaker. A HuffPost reporter, however, watched his speech from the front row and Rubio could clearly be seen looking intently and repeatedly at the teleprompters. He also had a stack of papers with him at the lectern and flipped through them as the speech progressed, perhaps unwilling to take any chance he would flub the swipe at Obama.

There were several applause lines. But nothing too exceptional. One of Rubio's most prominent Washington D.C. endorsers, nevertheless, was sufficiently swayed.

"I was standing backstage with tears," Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said following Rubio on stage. "Reminding myself what we have with Marco. What a treasure."

What a treasure indeed.

That's how Republicans roll. Make up bullshit issue out of nothing then fail to deliver to expectations.

 

[uscitizen]

Republicans are outstanding at projecting their own problems onto those darned liberals.

too bad their lamps are so dim.

 

[rightwinger]

At least he didn't write it on his hand

There is nothing wrong with somebody reading from a teleprompter and making fun of Obama's teleprompter usage. Obama uses it all the time, even while talking with 6th graders. The point is that Obama is a talking head for somebody else in the White House that is pulling the strings.

I thought that 6th grade thing had been debunked.

Isn't it fascinating how this LIE keeps popping up again and again...as if people like AvgGuyIA thinks we have short attention span loss?

Obama wasn't reading off a teleprompter when he kicked Republican ass.
He didn't read off a teleprompter when he gave his Nobel Acceptance Speech, one of the finest speeches I have ever heard.

Come one, Republicans can't give him credit for anything. The hate is deep. Deep and juvenile.

It's like the Reagan legacy. Say it enough times and people believe it. In 20 years, Republicans will remember Bush as the second greatest president ever. They are already laying the groundwork.

I think about 30% of republicans already believe that.

Heck at least that many still think Sadam was behind 911.

Because we all know he is like this without it:

Only 30%? I bet it's more.

If only the lying liars cared. Alas, what else do RWers have but lies?

 

[Xenophon]

Im watched the Rubio speech in its entire, the teleprompters were clearly OFF and he was reading from text he had on the dias in front of him.

Yet another lame 'gotcha' exposed as a fraud.

It's clear from the video that he was NOT using a teleprompter when greeting and answering questions by the sixth graders. The video that made the usual viral rounds of the right wing noise machines is the one where he was speaking to the REPORTERS about his goal of reaching better education results.

Gullibility is the new pandemic.
