It's a dark day for the country one special guy.
 
A man by the name of Hubert "Hub" Schlafly, passed away, and he is a man who made at least one president...
 

 
He can be considered a sputnik moment decades in the making when he invented the teleprompter way back in the 40's.
 
I've heard that Obama was in a meeting when he found out, so there were no camera's present. However, a sketch artist with help from an anonymous witness was able to capture the president's reaction...
