From Sky News... A teleprompter blunder led to President Barack
Obama thanking himself as he kicked off a speech at the White House
yesterday with Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen.
"First, I'd like to say thank you to President Obama!" said President Obama, who went on to remark that Guinness "tastes different in Ireland" - despite the fact that he has never travelled to the country.

Obama, reading the wrong speech, went on to thank himself before realizing
the mixup. The president has netted some media attention in recent weeks for a
heavy reliance on his teleprompter, reading prepared texts for even the smallest
events.
