Obama's teleprompter hits the trail
CNN ^ | 9/15/2008

Posted on 09/16/2008 1:28:03 AM PDT by markomalley

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.

And all this time I thought Gov. Palin was the only one to use a teleprompter, or had a speech written....

Silly me...

McCain has shook up his campaign team two or three times by firing/hiring people.

Hillary Clinton did this too.

Historically, many campaigns have done so at some point.

How come Obama has never shook up his campaign staff?

Obama claims his campaign gives his executive experience to be president, yet he has never (not to my knowledge, if I am wrong please let me know) even shook up his campaign staff.

Find out who stuck that teleprompter in the rodeo ring and you will know who is really running the Obama campaign. Because it sure isn't Obama.

Instead of getting better this guy devolves.

OBAMA: If we’re going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily (http://stuckon-stupid.com/2008/09/15/most-recent-obama-gaffe-ads-unrelated-to-issues-i-win-that-contest-pretty-handily/)

I read the comments on the CNN page. Many said because Sarah used one whats the problem?

Obama has always used a teleprompter before any DNC scumbag had heard of Sarah.

WoW. I guess the agent of change obamabots have the memory of gnats.

They should be sure to include a couple of planned hecklers so that he can skewer them with a couple of planned “impromptu” reactions.

Watch for the press to do everything possible to ensure Obama’s teleprompter is never seen in any camera angle at event.

Good, “Barry The Reader”’s brain will not be exercised in thinking on his feet, exactly what I would recommend for him just before the upcoming critical debates.

They will treat it much as the press in the 30s did FDRs wheelchair.

That's because Obama is the simply the lead staffer for the Axelrod/Soros campaign.

There was a ‘so called joke’ kicking around years ago which
was about the 1st Black Astronaut and his ‘pilot’. It is kind of demeaning to post openly but this will spur the memory of those that ‘heard it’....
Anyway, I kind of feel this is going on now in real time.
If one MUST hear it, I ‘may’ send it to you privately.

Maybe McCain should challenge Barry O’Bama’s teleprompter to a series of debates.

I didn’t realize that the teleprompter needed to do some campaigning on the campaign trail. I thought we were electing a man, not a box filled with lines of text.
