No Prompting

Here's an amusing story about Obama and his teleprompter. Apparently, the President ended up reading a speech where he thanked himself.

I bet you thought I was gonna make a point of how the press would have covered this if it happened to Bush, but I'm above that.

PS This story was related so confusingly I suspected there was something wrong with it. We now have the full tale, where Obama, as you might expect, was joking. (This sort of thing happens all the time--quite a few legendary errors by Reagan, Quayle, both Bushes, etc., didn't really happen in the way the popular imagination has it.)
