So far, so good. But then the jealous teleprompter demanded equal time.
When the president was announcing the members of his science and technology council, the teleprompter froze up.

It was almost like a page out of the Stephen King movie, "Maximum Overdrive" where trucks, lawn mowers, and other machines came to life wreaking havoc on humanity.
Well, maybe.
Anyway, the full text of the president's speech follows the video...
