CNN) — It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.

I should have clarified - the gaffe reduction device being deployed in this case ISN'T duct tape on Biden's mouth. :-)

pretty damned hypocritical, considering that the first verdict on Sarah Palin out of the mouths of the obama surrogates in his campaign and those on the MSM were something along the lines of "she reads a speech off a teleprompter very well".

Considering she spent at least half of her convention speech WITHOUT benefit of teleprompter, she does pretty good speaking like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING as well.

ok, my question wasn't very well phrased.  :rotf:  my point is that we really haven't been around very long.  I doubt that we are showing up on nation wide time wasting site lists . . . the guy in the next office must be a lib, and ratted you out. :-)

I'm flattered, in an odd sort of way, if we are already getting blocked by general firewall filters.
