After last week's teleprompter fiasco,in which, Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was forced to do his best Barack Obama impersonation, the device has gained quite a bit a of notoriety. The teleprompter, which is defined as a display device that prompts the person speaking with an electronic visual text of a speech or script, had accidentally displayed The President's speech instead of his. Since the event, President Obama has been unmercifully ridiculed by the news media for his crutch-like reliance on the device. In fact, Barack's teleprompter has been given its own name, Totus, and has come to life on the blog: http://www.baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com. CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 did a video feature, narrated by the teleprompter, last night. The curiosity bug hit me and I had to wiki it.
