What else is there to say?
FALLS CHURCH, VA – JANUARY 19: U.S. President Barack Obama delivers remarks on the ‘Race To The Top’ program at the Graham Road Elementary School January 19, 2010 in Falls Church, Virginia. The President is announcing his request for an additional $1.35 billion in 2011 for the program that was created as part of the economic stimulus bill signed into law last year. He is joined by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
UPDATE: Apparently he didn’t need the prompters for the kids. Just the media. According to The Weekly Standard:
The conservative blogosphere is buzzing this morning about news that President Obama relied on a teleprompter for his remarks to students at the Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia. And it would surely be funny if he had. But it doesn’t appear that he did.
Obama held two separate sessions at the school — the first with students and a second for the media. And while he did use two teleprompters for his comments to the media he did not use them for his discussion with the students.
The White House confirmed to TWS that the teleprompters were used for his remarks to the press, not with students.
Feel better now?
