You know, George W. Bush was slammed for eight years for mangling his words and sentences, but however badly he mangled them, he could articulate his opinion about something without benefit of a teleprompter. And he sounded better without one. Whenever he used the teleprompter, he came across as flat, mechanical, and wooden as well as mangling words and sentences.
Obama is a master with a teleprompter. One of the best I've ever observed. But take that teleprompter away and other than on a very few selective subjects which he has had time to study for in advance, he frequently becomes incoherant, disjointed, and/or a gaffe machine. Which is probably why his handlers don't allow him to leave the house without it. Which makes one wonder how well he actually knows his subject matter, how much he believes what he is saying, and how commited he is to any clear conviction.
It's just too bad that we did not learn of this teleprompter during all those campaign speeches. We might just have had a different outcome.
Someone who knows their material and has passion about what they are saying has no trouble communicating it to others. They don't need a teleprompter.
That's why Obama is nothing more than an empty suit and salesperson for Reid and Pelosi.
teleprompter jokes were made during the campaign. they were lame then, they are even lamer now. i think for obama they don't need to spell english words phonetically so he knows how to pronounce them. new-clear weapons, new-clear plants. lol.
