Last week President Obama and Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, visited a group of sixth grade kiddies at Graham Road Elementary in Falls Church, VA to discuss his latest educational craze that's gonna sweep the nation. (Don't worry, it's got a good beat to it!)
Obama, who is normally known for his casual communication style... often speaking directly from his heart and off the cuff... shocked educators and members of his fan club when he pulled a podium and two six foot teleprompters out of his pocket before 'engaging' the ragamuffin students.
Oh blasted! PoliticsDaily is reporting that he didn't actually USE the teleprompters to address the wee ones and instead saved his horse and pony show for the media that had been invited to the event.
And here I thought that ,while he's out of touch with a large portion of the adult American population, he had his finger on the pulse of the new generation and realized they all prefer to sit- dumb, deaf, and unable to otherwise function - staring into a vacuous screen when adults converse with them.
Pity.
