(Newsmax).President Barack Obama had just started a spirited defense of his economic stimulus plan on Monday when one of his teleprompter screens came loose, crashed to the floor and shattered into pieces.
The gadget's fall surprised Obama, who uses a teleprompter during most speeches and even brief remarks. The glass plate displaying his speech hit the floor in the auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a massive building within the White House compound.
"Oh, goodness," Obama said. "Sorry about that, guys."
The audience — administration officials, mayors and urban policy experts — laughed as Obama went back to his text. To finish his 11-minute remarks calling for a new policy toward the nation's cities and metropolitan areas, he used notes and the remaining teleprompter screen.

The media sold us a bill of goods on this great orator. Excellent post. - Kris from R412.
wait, what's this supposed to prove? a large pane of glass broke, he looked at it for a second, then went immediately back to what he was saying.
this clip doesn't mean what you think it does, and a teleprompter is no more dubious than the paper notes that presidents used for two centuries before its invention.
