I guess being the Governor of Alaska doesnt pay much, if you have to resort to scribbling crib notes in your hand with a $1.25 Bic pen.

FAIL.  Only a libtard can't see the difference between a few words in a one hour speech, and two teleprompters (and a podium) for a 15 MINUTE speech in a SIXTH GRADE classroom.

Riddle me this, batshit- if Palin is so ineffective, why are you dummies foaming at the mouth every time she speaks?

 ....for years I made notes on my hand...the only way I wouldn't loose them.

Oops, I was wrong. The classroom speech was only SIX minutes long.

I'm not a liberal, by any stretch of the word, but I can't help but to appluad in utter agreement with this:

Pretty much, in a nutshell, who gives a shit if Obama uses a teleprompter. It's obviously much more viable and professional (and needless to say more effective) than jotting crib notes on the palm of your hand.

And absolutely necessary for him.  Without it, he can't remember anything, stutters, stumbles, and says "UH".  A lot.  The man can't speak to sixth graders without a written speech AND a teleprompter.  It's no wonder he never speaks to the press anymore.   

Palin, on the other hand, is able to give a fantastic speech with 6 words written down.  She's smart, competant, better at her job, and better at speaking.

I find it amusing that so many fear her so greatly that they must search frantically for a few minor points...and expound on them endlessly.

Who gives a shit if Palin writes on her hand?
As for teleprompters, it is not professional. A teleprompter is a tool, like crib notes. The speaker still has to KNOW his entire speech, not read from the prompter/notes.  (And not fumble when it stops working.)  

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Yes, but can she correctly pronounce the word "corpsman?"

[Lord Undies]

Gov. Palin spoke for forty minutes at the event in question.  She must have some really BIG hands, or her speech was written really REALLY small on her palm. 

Hey, Idiot:  A "To-Do List" does not compare with a teleprompted speech.  Get over it.  Sarah Palin is three times the man that the Oval Office's Obsidian Orator will ever be.

[Freeper]

Yes, but can she correctly pronounce the word "corpsman?"

I bet she even knows that we only have 50 states too.

[JohnnyReb]

Obama is a good reader...impromptu speaker... ...not so good.

[DumbAss Tanker]

You must be very easily amused.  You don't see a difference between seven one-word topic prompts (One of which appears to perhaps be crossed out) for a forty minute speech, and a guy who can't speak extemporaneously for more than five minutes and has to read everything longer line-by-line from a prepared script like a Disney automaton?

Not when the teleprompter goes down or has the wrong stuff on it.  We've seen that, like a Pavlovian dog, Obama will read whatever flashes before his eyes or stumble and fail epically when it doesn't work at all.

Writing notes on your hand only fails if you lose your hand on the way to the speech, and since you are writing on your own hand, you don't have to worry about miscues.

From what I remember in high school speech class, the best notes are brief and only to jog your memory while speaking.

Hell Obama will read whatever is on the teleprompter whether it is true or not just like when he read that he met Michelle in college. 

[Splashdown]

Palin's teleprompter broke during her speech at the convention. Could you imagine the inanities that would have spewed from the Reader of the Free World if HIS teleprompter zotzed out?

And 0-bama uses a teleprompter to speak to students.

10 words on a palm =/= using a teleprompter in a classroom setting.

Face it. Palin's smarter.

 

[Duke Nukum]

I remember when the teleprompter was miscued and he read somebody else's remarks and he thanked himself.

I find it funny how people find the dumbest shit to "find funny" especially when we are in the middle of the mess we are in.  So friggin what she had a few notes on her hand.  Wtf is the big deal?  I doubt she can fit a 60 min speech on her hand when the great Dumbo must have a teleprompter word for word and then blunders on major statements that a kindergartner should know.  Example... when he said he has traveled to 57 states..... yeah, brilliant.

I get so tired of the petty bs back and forth.  I get tired of the Palin haters who have no comprehension of how to measure a good individual with character. 

Why dont Americans try something new for a change, think for yourself and then lets fix the real problems.

There.  That's all you should have said.  The rest of what you wrote was crap and made you look stupid.

[Thor]

It's quite obvious that our new member, Aep, has never taken a public speaking course. Cue cards, notes, etc. are allowed and often recommended for a speaking engagement. The teleprompter is an entire speech, written out for an individual. Which, in your opinion, Aep, requires more brain power?? So what if Palin is a little old school??

[RightCoast]

  Yes you are a liberal and yes you are an idiot, find another board to turd in, please.

This has been soundly rebutted so I'll leave it alone.

  Look, moron, obviously you care or you wouldn't be wasting our time. And please don't jump on the "we're mean because we insulted you", or "we're stomping on your right to free speech by not listening to you", or the time tested "nananana-I-can't-hear-you-cause-my-fingers-are-in-my-ears". Just realise your wrong and go away.

What I think we are missing here is the fact that Sara never made a point to hide her palm, in fact kind of called attention to it.

This I believed was contrived to be seen, it makes her more like most of us, gives us a mental link to her.  Say, this woman is just like the rest of us.

She is coming off as one of us, not a standoffish  who cares about you leadership.

Really a most brilliant idea, remember the old "  Talk to the hand".?

Her advisers are top notch, people will be reminded of her through jokes and personal experience.   Makes her a lot more human then some dude reading off a teleprompter.

You make it sound like a design, which really makes it creepy and about on par with some democrat trash.  I'm sure that was your intention.

I don't buy it.  Gov. Palin doesn't need an architect in order to appear spontaneous.  Sarah Palin genuinely is "one of us", thank God.

[docstew]

I'm surprised not one person here has brought up the scene from "Anchorman":
Ron Burgundy:"You stay classy, San Diego?" 
News Director: "Dammit, who put that on Burgundy's teleprompter, you know he'll say whatever it says on there!"

I didnt read what the man said and take it the way you did.  Actually I tend to agree with what he said and some of what you say to Palin being "one of us".  My point being that any contender whether political, in sports or even in business, when you have an edge or advantage you use it.  Its common sense, not creepy.  It aids in validating the very point that she is practical and down to earth or otherwise as you said "one of us".

Personally, I love Palin.  She is a great force politically and is quite honestly being turned into an icon and all of that is great.  Yet sometimes when I read statements such as yours when they come across to me as being so defensive about the individual, that actually is what scares me.  Palin is wonderful but not untouchable.  She is practical but yet still flawed.  She has a strong movement and momentum but still has many weaknesses.  If we cannot see that then we are the ones that are blind.  You have to understand that when we can observe the frailties of an individual and more importantly the individual, in this case Palin, when she can see them as well, they only become stronger and a better contender for what they are attempting to accomplish.

While I love Palin as a contender and while I would vote for her, I cannot say that I would completely trust her yet.  Earning my trust can only come after seeing them in office for a couple years.  Anyone can say anything.  Yet what impresses me about Palin is the course she has set, what she gave up to be where she is, how she has handled the intense firestorm from the left and now the leadership she is presenting.  All of this proves she has character.  How she will use it on the other hand is still yet to be proven and tested.

I do not follow a label of Democrat or Republican.  I am a firm Constitutionalist and a dedicated Three Percenter, what I want to see in any candidate is what Palin is showing now, character.  She has my vote at the present moment, lets just hope that she can become a George Washington rather than a deadly John Mccain.
