Obama edited his speech? Sure anyone in public life would write and edit a speech, but he’s got the tele prompter. I’ve noticed that in his speeches, he looks to his left, then looks to his right, all the time. He never looks right at the camera. It’s as if he shifts at precise angles to face the teleprompters on either side of him. Knowing about his teleprompter dependence, he looks so staged and stilted. I have great respect for Sarah Palin and her speeches by contrast. At the Rep. Convention, the teleprompter broke down, so Sarah had to “wing it”. And she did a fine job. I wonder how Barack will do if his teleprompter ever malfunctions.

Exactly. In addition to that, he is a bit mush-mouthed. Want to know HOW a black president should sound? Watch Morgan Freeman in that movie where the meteor is crashing to into the US.

Ah yes. That was “Deep Impact”, but I think it was a group of comets heading to earth. “Armegeddon” came out that same summer, and featured asteroids, I think?

She did a great job. But with McCain as her "friend," I seriously doubt her teleprompter merely "broke down."
