Obama's TelePrompter: Does It Cause Warming Too?

I'm just wondering why the media hasn't written about the massive amount of carbon that Obama's TelePrompters pump into the atmosphere? I mean...the media never misses an opportunity to tell us how our computers, Internet , LCD TVs, SUVs, and video games cause global warming.

So come on media! Where's the fairness here? Hold The Almighty to account for his climate transgressions! Stop attacking him for just being a talking head, incapable of speaking without his silly crutch; he's destroying the earth with those things too!

President Barack Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his TelePrompter.

The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he speaks.

Resting on top of a tall, narrow pole, they flank his podium during speeches in the White House’s stately parlors. They stood next to him on the floor of a manufacturing plant in Indiana as he pitched his economic stimulus plan. They traveled to the Department of Transportation this week and were in the Capitol Rotunda last month when he paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln in six-minute prepared remarks.

Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small.
