http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=3161#comments An interesting link on that subject. I'm not a fan of dropping the "to be" myself, but it appears to be fairly common in certain regions.

Well, Obama is literally a puppet, a mechatronic puppet; controlled by brainwaves from the fleet of orbiting spacecraft piloted by angels who protect us from the lizards. And....

Much simpler and more nefarious than that. He's receives his control messages from one or more visual cuing devices placed in front of him whenever he appears in public, which contain encoded messages for him to speak at the appropriate times.

Humans, I mean we, call them 'teleprompters'.

So you're saying he's like a black Ron Burgundy.
