I know he has a lot of support here, but he hasn’t impressed me. If he were the nominee, I’d vote for him, but Gingrich seems to be far more capable.

Haha . . . I agree!

If a candidate can’t speak from the heart then he shouldn’t run. A teleprompter is a crutch for a puppet candidate who’s speaking someone else’s line.

Add me to that box of rocks. If a man can’t speak without a teleprompter he has no reason to be president.

Illegal? No.

but the other candidates should razz Obama for being addicted to a teleprompter. Tell people that they are getting a fake, a fraud president because he can’t impress people without a teleprompter. He’s a phony.

I would recommend they do this at every opportunity. Damn, the maladroit couldn’t talk to school children without a teleprompter.

He’s a pretty popular box of rocks. We’ll see how he stacks up to the other boxes of rocks today.

“Obama will read anything that is put on that teleprompter. And by ‘anything,’ I mean a-ny-th-i-n-g.”

For Obama, it is going to be a disaster. Did you see that video of him speaking at a rally in Harvard? He kept on touching his crotch.

Since you think you’re so much smarter that Santorum, how come you aren’t running for president?

Idiotic idea if he meant it. A self-professed conservative supporting a law such as this? Just what we need government to get involved in. Cripes...

If he wasn’t joking then this is disturbing. Seems like it displays a knee jerk tendency to use big government coercion to make people act the way you want them to act.

Add me too. I can't believe there are still Obots out there talking about what a good speaker Obozo is. What a JOKE...he's horrible.

Seriously people? How the hell can you even THINK this wasn’t a joke aimed at Obama? Get real.

Obama is utterly incapable of giving a speech without teleprompters. Having a few notes written down to keep on track is fine but he reads his speeches word for word off his prompters.

Obots hell...there are people on FR pushing the nonsense that he as a deadly debater who would chew any of our guys up in a debate. And that he speaks well, is articulate et all.

You know. Deaf people.
