Sarah Palin is seen at the 0:47 mark using hand notes to answer a question.

[Robe]

BFD

[UB355]

Barak can’t speak to a classroom of six graders without his teleprompter.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

O.K., so what?

[DJ MacWoW]

Old fashioned teleprompter. ;-)

[DallasSun]

Is that what you would say had Obama used notes written on his hand? I agree..it is no big deal...but I do not want us to be hypocrites either. I know exactly how some would react if any democrat had notes written on their palm. The least we can do is be honest.

[MizSterious]

They say this like it’s awful, yet their hero can’t go to the bathroom without a teleprompter.

[DGHoodini]

Ditto! BFD!

[DallasSun]

You betcha!

[libh8er]

Why are we making a big deal of this ? The SzaSzaPost and the rest of the State Media will try to milk it for maximum benefit over the next two weeks trying to divert attention from Palin’s message and the Tea Party movement. But WE, will stay focused.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

In before the Palin bashers says she’s done and a quitter 2/3rds Governor (wipes spittle from corner of mouth)

[DallasSun]

You just made my point. And I am not being critical when I say that.

[Prince Caspian]

How do you do it? Write on your hand?

[icwhatudo]

Complaining about Palin using notes is like Obama complaining she won’t show her drivers license.

[SkyDancer]

So? At least she can speak without a teleprompter but then even if it fails she can keep right on talking ... the only people who are soooooo concerned are the AP and the HuffPo .... big whoop .... any little thing the media can do to bring down Repub’s and Conserv’s they’ll do ... small minded little mice ...

[sgtyork]

In a word yes. You need to look again at the pictures of Obama with a teleprompter addressing the 6th grade kiddies (or the press afterword) and a staff meeting.

[Bigtigermike]

BTW is not even notes but five words....ok energy, budget,etc...

[EggsAckley]

Much ado about nothing. I do it myself sometimes.

Now, if Mrs. Palin were taking a test, such as the written driver’s test, or the bar exam, etc., then it WOULD be a problem. Then it would be cheating.

[rawcatslyentist]

So she should use google on a teleprompter like ya know what?

Why don't you call 300 million dollar Mary and complain? Oh, that's right, she sabotaged the peoples phone lines.

[wolfcreek]

Hey, they're merely figureheads not, geniuses.
