Obama’s safety net – his teleprompter – still can’t break that addiction either

People who have seen this video already know how lost Obama is without his teleprompter, so it should come as no big surprise in this Politico article that Obama still doesn’t go anywhere without his TelePrompter.

The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he speaks.

Resting on top of a tall, narrow pole, they flank his podium during speeches in the White House’s stately parlors. They stood next to him on the floor of a manufacturing plant in Indiana as he pitched his economic stimulus plan. They traveled to the Department of Transportation this week and were in the Capitol Rotunda last month when he paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln in six-minute prepared remarks.

Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small.

    The reason it seems unusual for him to go everywhere with his prompter is because it goes against the fluff and propaganda that he is a good speaker.Fact is, he isn’t a good speaker or an intelligent man, its all liberal fluff and propaganda. Thats why he won’t go on ANY news show that will ask him real questions that he hasn’t had a speech writer make a response for .Hes a fake, plain and simple. Just like when he had to READ about his “mentor” the great Ted Kennedy. If someone is your mentor you don’t have to read to people to express to them just why he was your mentor.Phony, fake, shameless shallow puppet.Just like the idea of M/O being on the cover of GLAMOUR mag,oh yes shes the epitomy of glamour,she belongs right alongside Jackie O lmaorof. And they have to shut down anyone speaking against their thugocracy, sucvh as on the youtube site, they removed the vid of his teleprompter.Guess it hurt his feelings, even though it is perfectly legal to show video of a public president.Just isn’t allowed to be shown when it shows how ignorant he is.How many times did we see TV,s media show GW”s mistakes? millions .Liberals are hypocrites, especially when in power!
