Classy man? Sorry but you're account of what happened doesn't fit what others have interpreted the situation to have been.

Sky News-Obama Thanks Himself, Irish PM Repeats Speech in Teleprompter Meltdown

I suppose you think it's a "classy man" who ends up being the first sitting president to try to sell his class envy promoting policies on a late night comedy talk show?

How classy is it for a man to systematicly destroy what has taken several generations to build through hard work and sacrifice? That's what our president is doing to our country. He'll succeede as long as enough people see him as a "classy man". Thanks.

Yes, it showed Class.

Obama could have laid back and let the Irish PM wallow in his own gaffe. Instead he went to the podium, took the heat off his guest and threw the nasty F-150 crowd a bone. (it's a rubber bone boys)

Take your blinders off and read the incident chronologically, taken verbatim, straight from FOX NEWS....

"...But Cowen was 20 seconds into his second address when it dawned on him that he was giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.

Cowen stopped and looked back at the president to say, "That's your speech."

Obama laughed and returned to the podium to offer what might have been Cowen's remarks. In doing so, President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over....

I'm understanding why the Right lost the last one and it ain't lookin' too good in '12.

Do you really need to twist something into what it is not? It's just being delusional and it's really kind of sad.

You do make a point, "it's really kind of sad," to what we have in power today. Which is a biatch Speaker, an out of touch POS Majority Leader, and a howdy doody puppet President who speaks when told or shown.

I agree with the fact that he "played it off". The PM messed up and was in a tight spot, Obama saved him and is cooler under pressure. Big deal.

Obama is just a technophile, who doesn't know what to say without being told.
