Obama teleprompter jokes have become legendary. It is referred to as TOTUS, a take off on POTUS or President of the United States. Obama cannot give a speech without one.
While Obama and his teleprompter have become something of a joke, spending by the White House is not a joke. The White House, according to the Washington Times, is spending $100,000 of taxpayers’ money on an outside “media coach.”
You cannot make this stuff up.
Michael Sheehan, who is a long time Democratic media guru, has secured a $100,000 contract with the White House. Hillary Clinton described him as the man who helped her “master the teleprompter.”
Great! Tax dollars are going to help provide Obama with a teleprompter coach.
Sheehan’s company has received $60,000 from the White House for consulting services since 2009. The White House has also spent $100,000 on a speechwriting contract for Joe Biden.
Over the last two years, the White House has spent over a quarter of a million dollars just on speech writing consultants.
The White House has seven speechwriters. They are paid a total almost $700,000. The Chief speechwriter makes almost $175,000 a year!
How many speeches does Obama give a year? Why are we paying for consultants, whose sole job is to make Obama look good?
America is in the throes of the Obama economy. This is the worst economic downturn since the great depression. You would never know it in the Obama regime.
As gas goes above $4 a gallon and by Memorial Day it is predicted to be about $5 a gallon, and many Americans are having to make painful decisions about spending, why are we using our tax dollars to give Obama a teleprompter coach?
How many speechwriters does one man need? We are running record deficits and have a record national debt. Our government needs to start doing some serious belt tightening.
Sheehen has a long history with the Democratic Party. He has coached every Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate as well as major convention speakers for the Democrats since 1988. Hillary Clinton’s praise of him is effusive.
The dirty secret of Democrat politics is that when Democrats get into power, part of their view of the government and taxpayers is that they exist to help Democratic politicians reward those who have helped them get into power.
Sheehan is a Democratic Party enabler. If Obama feels like he needs a teleprompter coach, let him pay for it himself. He is a multimillionaire. After all, as he has said, this is a time for shared sacrifice, so Obama’s sacrifice should be he foots the bill for this himself. After all, he is among the wealthy that he is always saying should pay their fair share.
Of course, we know that never applies to liberals, who simply want others to pay.
Meanwhile, as Congress looks for ways to slash the budget, eliminating these consulting contracts for the White House and cutting the White House speech-writing department would be a small but significant step.

Let's see...how much does it cost US to pay the salaries of all his and her staffs; how much for the Czars (funny name to call his advisors); how much for all those jaunts he takes campaigning, playing golf, holidaying??? OH! but WE have to endure the pain the at the pump; (maybe just stop driving...how does that work for you truck drivers? Stop eating so much; your too fat anyway folks. Don't spend very much so you can pay the taxes to the credit card happy politicans in OUR Congress. He has discredit our prestige overseas but keeps on TRYING to BUY their friendship? That's not working so well either is it???
Oh well!! just venting a bit.
Permalink Reply by Billy Bowlegs on Welcome to Special Education Class 101 in Communism: Here we have the Democrats practicing communism. They know that Obama is not eligible to be the POTUS, yet they still push for his reelection. His BC release was a farce so that your attention could be redirected back to the OBAMA Smoke Screen (Birthers). Pull yourself up by your bootstrings and get out of the SMOKE SCREEN # 2 (Still birther oriented but fanned by Trump). A number of issues arrise in this lesson plan. One is that we have a Dead Wood Gang in Congress who are afraid of their own shadows - they are basically Ground Hogs and have gone back to ground until after 2012.
Extracted: "The 57th quadrennial United States Presidential Election will be held on November 6, 2012, and barring a catastrophic final year run, it will be expected to feature the incumbent, President Barack Obama for the Democrats, against a yet to be decided Republican candidate and an anticipated independent candidate."
The incumbent, Obama for the Democrats, is not eligible to run for the Office of the Presidency.
It is high time that the Democrats recognize this issue and remove him from the process themselves.
There is an old saying about being up the "Proverbial Creek without a paddle". Well, that is where they will be with OBAMA. Fraudulent BC released by BO. Says on the face of it (prima facia evidence) that Father is KENYAN.
Two different news releases in 2004 and 2009 - Kenyan Born Obama. What else is needed to educate 300 million idiots in the United States about this issue. Not born of two citizen parents is the key. Nothing else.
Kenyan Father disqualified Obama in 2007 yet Obama perjured himself in the Arizona Affidavit as eligible IAW Constitution.
And, our Dead Wood Gand in the House refuses to act. (Stay in your ground hog hole and wait for us to dig you out!)
Judge Rogan: Rogan, now a judge in the Superior Court of California, was a freshmen member of the House Judiciary Committee when he was chosen to help lead the prosecution of Clinton.
"Had the House failed to impeach Clinton just because of the tawdry subject matter, any future president committing perjury or obstructing justice for far more weighty and destructive motives could point to the Clinton Precedent and claim his conduct was not impeachable," he said.
"Yes, I know most of you out there in America hated Clinton's impeachment, and you hated us for doing it. But take this with you: because we impeached him, today you live in a country where every future president is on notice that perjury and obstruction of justice in a one-way White House eviction notice – as long as future Members of Congress have the spine to stand up to him."
So, according to Judge Rogan; we have a Congress with no SPINE at this very moment.
Look at the attached files. One is an OBAMA Affidavit sworn under Oath at time of signing. It basically states by OBAMA that he is qualified to be the POTUS. Yet his birth certificate that he supposedly released is fraudulent and it still carries FATHER is KENYAN language. It takes two parents as citizens to begat a Presidential Candidate as a "natural born citizen" If you cannot read history on your own, you will never understand this. You argue that anyone against obama is a BIRTHER. - Hell no, we are Constitutionalist and we learned to read the Constitution in Primary School in the 1940's and 1950's. It is you who calls us BIRHTERS that are the idiots.
Now, move on to a document that truly dissects the OBAMA BC and shows that it is a forgery. That document is attached also. Read it and understand it. It is a highly educated analysis by an individual with great skill set.
Then look at the third paper on PELOSI. Talk about levels of education. Compare the difference of hers and the OBAMA BC Analyisis. Now we are down to the communist level of discusison.
Do you understand how COMMUNISM Works?
