President Obama’s speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning hit a brief snag when Obama got ahead of his script.
Laying his plan for a President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks – before realizing he’d already introduced them, earlier in his speech.
“In addition to John – sorry, the – I just noticed I jumped the gun here,” Obama said, pausing for several seconds as he looked at the prompter. “Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys.”
The audience, which gave the president a warm reception, responded with a quiet laugh.
For me, the most memorable thing of the first 100 days is BOTO's complete lack of self-conscienceness in using his crutch, I mean teleprompter. What a way to show people who are afraid to speak in public how you can fool everyone watching on TV!
It reminds me of the story about Peter, who wanted to learn the names of birds. He read a book and learned the names of birds. Then Peter wanted to learn how to speak in public. He read off a teleprompter.
