I see many posters have already responded to your post, already stating much of what I would have said.
Except for this.
Obama has speeches written by a panel of top politicians and writers, and has only to read it off a teleprompter. We have also seen what happens when his teleprompter fails. It’s like a series of ‘outtakes’ at the end of a DVD movie.
If Sarah can make a 45-minute speech that keeps the public interest, with 4-7 words scribbled on her hand, I would consider that not only a qualification for President, but a minor miracle.
It is only the DEMS/MSM who claim she used it as crib-notes for her speech. No one really knows why she put those particular words on her hand. I certainly don’t. Do you?
I not only do not know why Sarah Palin wrote those words on her hand, I do not care that she did.
I guess I'm not making myself clear. I don't care if politicians use teleprompters, index cards, scripts, cue cards, notes inked on their palms, or those nifty wristbands that quarterbacks use with all the play calls on them. If it helps them to get their message across, fine by me.
All I'm saying is that with all the really, really big problems we're facing, most voters don't give a flyin' flip about teleprompters. The media is playing all sides here and over the most inconsequential things. Don't let them.
