Teleprompting Obama

SCREEN SAVORER
According to several Democrat political consultants presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama spent part of his Hawaiian vacation working on weaning himself from a heavy dependence on teleprompters. Even in what are staged as "town hall" events for Obama, remarks are scripted or formatted into bullet points that scroll on teleprompter screens. Obama has had several embarrassing events where the teleprompter either malfunctioned or the screens were not fully visible.

"He just locks down and can't get the words out," says one political consultant. "For such a fine speaker, it's really quite remarkable that he's had issues."

Obama's troubles with unscripted moments contributed to his campaign's refusal to participate in town hall format debates or discussions with Sen. John McCain, who feels much more comfortable in the unscripted moments.

I say bring it on. POTUS must be able to function without a teleprompter.

It's amazing to me, the Oooooobama is considered some sort of messiah who brings people to his knees. Can't he speeak off the cuff? All good deities do.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

This amounts to Obama Hussein being nothing more than a Hollywood halfwit actor.  He has to have a script in order to sound intelligent.  He has to be feed lines in order to keep the scene moving.  Obama is, in other words, playing a character created by others.  Obama is a marionette. 

It is time to insist on some serious information about this person who would be president.  I want to know his real name and where he was born.  That is not too much to ask. 

I want to know why and how Obama has got to the point he is.  It is very obvious he is not mentally or intellectual equipped to have gotten here on his own.

I have always said that Obama is a MSM creation who arrived out of nowhere to save the world. According to the press. In reality he has no experience and any legislation that has his name on it was written by others who are really Pissed off that they can't take credit for their work. He definately needs a teleprompter, if you listen to remarks he makes'off the cuff', you would agree that he has a dry personality. He has been called "quick witted". I say bull crap.
