I don't think it's reasonable in a general sense to say that the use of notes is an indication of "not having a clue."

Right, like the press would have let Sarah Palin get away with using notes.

No previous president, including Bush or the amiable dunce Reagan, needed this level of support. Even Clinton had the skill to evade questions or BS the answer. This just shows that Obama isn't up to the job.

This is getting close to a Milli-Vanilli situation.

Not true -- Reagan could have used it to good effect. Bush 41, too. For all that he was maligned as a speaker, Bush 43 was actually very good at off-the-cuff responses.
