I Wish To Thank Myself

When you're about to give a worldwide-telecast speech in the presence of Barack Obama, it's probably a good idea to rehearse. Or at the very least, read through your lines so that you know what your speech is about.

Visiting The White House on St Patrick's Day, Prime Minister Brian Cowen of Ireland managed to get several paragraphs into his speech before noticing a problem - he was reading President Obama's words all over again. The teleprompter had accidentally shown the wrong talk. Turning to the President, all he could say was, "That's your speech!"

Obama, not missing a beat, chuckled, moved back to the microphone, and thanked himself for inviting everyone for the occasion.
