Behind a president defined more by his oratory than any political figure in a generation is chief speechwriter Jon Favreau, whose work with Obama began soon after the Illinois senator arrived in Washington four years ago and who knows the president’s ideas and rhythms so well that Obama has called him a mind-reader.

Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, etc. ad nauseaum could rant and rave for hours without a teleprompter. They believed in something (something incredibly evil, mind ...) and knew what they believed in strongly enough to expound on it extensively, without assistance.

Barry the Zero is an empty suit. What's behind him? Who's pulling the strings?

Most definitely! And I’ve been saying this ever since I heard him speak.

I always thought that Bill Clinton’s great charisma, charm, intellect and oratory were vastly overrated but Obama stands beside Clinton looking like a pissant by the toe of an African bull elephant.

I said that exact thing to someone touting ‘bammy’s “intellect”.

It makes them REALLY mad.

Don't know about the telepromter but the following is Obama's head speech writer:

..

Jon Favreau.. Obama has called his head speechwriter a mind-reader. And at age 27, his prose is being acclaimed worldwide

There is no question that President Obama is an accomplished orator.

He's a good READER, not an orator.

The inability to speak extemporaneously is a sign of a lack of intelligence.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It can be but there are some who can rattle fluently all day without saying anything even remotely intelligent and some people are able to write brilliantly but have a difficult time speaking off the cuff.

My mother was very intelligent, she was second in her high school class at a time when few finished high school and the course work was tougher than most college work is now, yet she often had a tough time putting her thoughts into spoken words, she was much better at writing.

She narrowly missed being valedictorian, the young man who made the valedictory speech spoke eloquently. I remember him well, he used to come in the barber shop when I was getting a haircut as a young boy. He would wait until someone started talking about the world situation or the American political stage and he would edge into the conversation and show them all up as being ignorant of what they were saying. But, while my mother was a very productive person right up until age 75, her brilliant classmate never held a real job, never ran a business, never did anything except walk the roads and sponge off others. Perhaps in another age he would have been the supreme ruler.
