“What kind of politician brings a teleprompter to a news conference?

A careful one…

‘At the same time, the rest of us can’t afford to demonize every investor or entrepreneur who seeks to make a profit. That drive is what has always fueled our prosperity, and it is what will ultimately get these banks lending and our economy moving once more,’ he said.

Pretty soon he'll just read off the comments he has on his Crackberry TM   :whatever:

I noticed CNN made it a point to mention that Obama had a "seating chart" of the reporters.  Uh huh.  Scripted questions, scripted answers.

SOURCE: Reporters were told in advance if president was going to call on them. Senior Administration Officials notified reporters from Stars & Stripes, Univision and other news outlets that they should have question ready. Several reporters moved up in assigned seats as result...

I don't believe the rest of the press stood for that.

Next time they should stay home.

This was insulting.

How the First Amendment dies--with a whimper and a flat-screen.
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

My new favorite website....

Barack Obama's Teleprompter

I am sure many of you have already seen it.  I also added him as a friend on facebook.   :-)
