There is a problem with this story: While photo is very real, the back story is very wrong:
From FactCheck.org : But Obama wasn’t actually giving a speech to 6th graders at the time, as incorrectly stated in the headline on the photo that was e-mailed to us, and in many conservative blogs. The picture (taken by Associated Press photographer Alex Brandon) actually shows Obama speaking to reporters in a classroom at the Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va., on Jan. 19. Obama had spoken to the students themselves earlier, and he did not use a teleprompter then. This photo from the official White House blog shows that clearly.

Yes, that Obama needed a teleprompter to deliver a FIVE minute speech to the press.

(but you are correct, he actually didn’t use TOTUS when he spoke to the kids. He just kicked the press out of the room during that portion. Hmmmm I wonder if he used a mini-teleprompter, like his blackberry…)
