But it does have to do with loosing your place on the teleprompter and not being able to go on with your speech. Now that does have to do with intelligence and knowledge of the topic in which he speaks. Which he mostly "JUST" read the prepared speeches and did not even know what he was reading.
Yeah, I'm sure someone just puts words on the screen and he just reads... that's why he's so good at it... and I'm sure someone wrote his two books and fed him all the answers during the debates. And I'm sure Bush wrote and memorized all his speeches... thanks, got it.

OR

- "Mr. President, your staff is of the opinion that in order to send the right image to the American people, you should abstain from having the teleprompter all the time, even at informal press meetings."

OR

- "Mr. Predident, if you want to prove to the American people that you are smarter than your predecessor, you need to learn to speak without a teleprompter."

I also wonder what his response was. Maybe someone could leak how the teleprompter debacle went down, that would be funny...

Here is how it went down. - Barry, your wife has requested that you communicate with her without using the teleprompter. hehehe

The fringe rights obsession with the teleprompter is hilarious. All of their heroes use them exclusively..You know heroes like Bill'Ho, Mannity, Flem Beck etc..Also, every politician, especially the POTUS have used them to enhance the presentation of their written speeches. The rights attempt to marginalize Obama's intellect has failed and they know it as evidenced by repeatedly talking about a stupid teleprompter. His approval rating is rising while they keep talking about teleprompters. Hopefully, you all keep up your seemingly unimpeded march to total irrelevancy.

The fringe left doesn't want to admit that without a teleprompter, Obama is nothing more than a boring, redundant, and generalizing lecturer.

Bush was much worse at using the teleprompter.

I'm assuming after a few months/years it gets much easier in front of the camera.

I have a feeling the teleprompter is going to be the next holiday hit thanks to our beloved bowing president.

Is "Barry" Obama's new nickname? I have been using "Mao-Bama" for some time. I think it's quite fitting.

What a big change to now be hearing that we have a President who speaks too well. ROTFL.

How did Obama's aids get it across to him that he was overusing the teleprompter?

Our president has AIDS? (LOL)
