WASHINGTON -- 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.
Someone on here called it! it finally came to fruition!
Some poor WH prompter Tech probably just got s**tcanned for this one.

Ithink it's pretty clear here, the screen committed suicide, and I don't blame it.

Tapper saw it happen live and somehow pulled himself together to file a report. Tragic mishap? Or further harrowing evidence of The One’s penchant for playing hardball with his enemies, especially those who have betrayed him time and again?
There are no accidents in Chicago, my friends.
Midway through his speech on urban and metropolitan policy in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building this afternoon, one of his two small glass prompters came crashing down, hitting the wood floor and crashing in many pieces. It made quite a ruckus.
“Oh, goodness,” a startled President Obama said. “Sorry about that, guys.”
He then proceeded on with his remarks, “To pull our economy back from the brink, including the largest and most sweeping economic recovery plan in our nation’s history…”
For the rest of the speech the president relied on the one remaining teleprompter, to his right, and notes on his podium to finish his speech.
Shards of glass remained near the president’s feet for the duration of his speech.
Graphic photos of the remains are already on the wires. Exit question: Who’s going to take the fall for this? If only there were a simpleton in The One’s inner circle, one sufficiently childlike as not to resist being made a scapegoat, perhaps with a history of antipathy to TOTUS and who heyyyyyyyyy! Update: Here, for posterity — the TOTUS Zapruder film.

I hope this finally calls this terrible, violent nation to action to enact stricter legislation on floors... if there was no floor, that glass plate would've never committed suicide (of course, this requires that we ignore the myriad other ways a piece of glass can shatter itself). Obviously the flooring industry is in some great conspiracy to destroy our teleprompters in some sick and twisted money-for-blood scheme.
