This is just Rush Limbaugh's latest joke, and the article doesn't cite use of this term by anyone other than Limbaugh and some blogs. Add this to the Limbaugh article if you want, but it doesn't merit its own article. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While Rush Limbaugh may be at the spearhead of the criticism, the article explores actual media debate about the President's reliance on teleprompters. Neutral language is used throughout, and even criticism (linking to supporters of Obama in the media) of the concept is provided to give a balanced point of view. The print and news media have visited this topic and the two accidents involving teleprompters (see the malfunction section) make this relevant and real. A google search for "TOTUS Obama" yields 17,900 results. This is not a small topic, but a rather developed concept deserving it's own page. Dermus (talk) 15:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - WP:NOT a dictionary, a glossary of right-wing blogspeak, or a soapbox. The article's use of language is not altogether neutral - it's effectively a POV fork of material about Obama's rhetoricla style, focussing on one aspect whose importance is itself questionable and the subject of political bias. But in any case, this 'topic' is just a description of the use of language by an opinionated minority - a highly political dicdef. AlexTiefling (talk) 16:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Merge Since an article on Limbaugh jargon already exists, this is a solid proposal. 74.69.39.11 (talk) 18:43, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
