Barack Obama's Teleprompter dies; trusted speech aid was barely 2
Breaking News, literally: After helping both candidate and chief executive deliver weighty words countless times on the campaign trail, on the road to, from and within the White House, the beloved Teleprompter of Democrat President Barack Obama died tonight.
The fragile overused speech aid was little more than two years old. No immediate cause of death and no autopsy were announced.
...
"Oh, goodness!" Obama exclaimed. "Sorry about that, guys." The heartless audience of mayors, urban policy wonks and administration crowd-packers laughed out loud at the sudden death.
As if it was a mere machine, the 47-year-old president displayed no sign of concern or compassion whatsoever for his departed friend. He simply continued his speech with the surviving Teleprompter on the other side.
The Teleprompter's remains were removed later by janitorial personnel for private burial. An official period of mourning was not announced. Not even a moment of silence. That's the Chicago way.
The deceased Teleprompter is survived by numerous siblings and offspring, all also named Teleprompter.
