Gotta say, Sarah should at least have had 3x5 cards for her notes - not her hands. That only gave them ammunition against her.

But MOST speakers use notes.

obama’s problem with the teleprompter is: he is so useless WITHOUT it. THAT shows a hollow, inarticulate man.

Thanks to NPR for showing us just how STUPID you liberals actually are. 5 words as a reminder as opposed to the FULL WORD FOR WORD TEXT from a Teleprompter????

This is getting silly. People use notes when they speak in public. A teleprompter gives you an entire speech to recite. Which is fine, as long as people know that’s what you’re doing, reciting a speech you may or may not have written. Having a few notes to remind you what you want to be sure and hit is a different thing. I used notes when I taught, so I didn’t forget to cover something important. I also used them when I taught aerobics, in case I forgot a routine. So what?

This is what they want to make an issue out of, after her speech? Really? I would think most people can distinguish between a few words/key points on a hand and a programmed teleprompter. As I’ve said before, there are Hollywood films that are less scripted than 0.

And so far, Totus is in the lead.

“obama’s problem with the teleprompter is: he is so useless WITHOUT it. THAT shows a hollow, inarticulate man.”

That’s right. It also shows a man with no convictions. If he had any he would NOT stammer when without a teleprompter. Someone with real beliefs right or wrong does not as a rule (perhaps if with known speech impediment, but Obama hasn’t such) stammer for the words to express them. Those convictions simply flow from ones soul.
