You've got your head in the sand if you don't realize he has started work on a number of those, and even completed a few.
 
Hillary looks so bored... as does Clarence Thomas.

Laura Bush looks like she's batshit high.

edit: and anyone know who the brunette next to Biden is?

edit2: looks like there were indeed teleprompters.

It's actually a fairly cheap camera. That image is 220 regular images stitched together.

We're obviously going to see the thoughtless attacks on Obama no matter what he does. And we can call them for what they are.

In his 3 days in office, apart from whatever of the '500 promises' you allege - it sure sounds like an 'attack list' made up by his opponents to try to create a straw man of him breaking promises, since they can't get much traction for attacking his actually policies that are so much better than the critics' - so far, he's issued orders towards ending the war in Iraq and closing Gitma; he's reversed the Bush administration's gutting of the Freedom of Information Act and removed much of the power of presidents and former presidents to block the release of papers; he's pushed for a trillion dollar economic stimulus plan; he's changed the policy regarding federal funding for stem cell based research; he's blocked administration officials from being lobbyists on those issues for two years; he's halted the 'tribunals' regarding the detainees at Gitmo; and he'd blocked all the last minute favors not yet completed by the Bush administration.

No, it's been pretty independently established that he made about 500 promises during the campaign. And Politifact is keeping track:

Not doing too bad considering it's been one week.

It's a Canon G10 (high end point and shoot) mounted on a robotic panning contraption that automatically takes pictures of different areas of the scene and then stitches them all together into a single high resolution image.
