Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House when he realized something sounded way too familiar. Turns out, he was repeating the speech President Barack Obama had just given.
Cowen was set to speak twice at the White House on Tuesday night because there were two different parties going on at the executive mansion. No matter he would give the same speech to the two different audiences.
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.

So much for great speeches by Obama when in fact all his speeches was witten for him and then gave to him by teleprompter. Seem to this American that Obama isn’t a great speaker, but maybe a great reader of teleprompters!

If we could somehow access his teleprompter, we could probably turn administration policy 180 degrees!

I have a theory about the “Rainman” syndrome in Washington. I think I’m right.
