March 12th

March 12th 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the first of his 30 radio "fireside chats," telling Americans what was being done to deal with the nation's economic crisis.

While the father of American socialism as we currently know it today probably used a few hand-written notes, I'll bet his head didn't swivel back and forth like B.O.'s does. Of course, B.O. would be practically a functional illiterate without his TelePrompter.

I thought he always looked silly when he talked because he always looked from side to side. He never looks straight ahead.

Now, I understand that he is looking at 2 teleprompters and never looks at his audience. On the news, they talk about his use but I didn't know there were 2 until I saw a crowd picture showing both in the same frame.

Were the crowds thinking that he was addressing the whole crowd? Do they think he sees them?

Rhetorical questions

Even though not an expert on teleprompters, I believe that the: "Dem Messiah" and/or
President Barack Hussein Obama II or Jr. actually & naturally needs TWO OF THEM.

That way, whichever side of mouth he chooses to speak from at any given time, he's
covered. Makes a lot of sense to me.

One can only wonder with that much swiveling back and forth, when will his head get unscrewed, if that's possible? During my lying days, I never looked people in the eye either. Now I understand the head-swiveling, perfectly.
