Obama's constant slip-ups occur because he is the most scripted candidate in years. If he doesn't have the teleprompter on, notes in hand, lines memorized, he's completely befuddled.

That's not only a mark of someone who's been elevated beyond his ability, it means he's a front for something else.

Interesting observation. He does seem to have a script he hasn't mastered very well, which means that it doesn't come from him or his own thoughts. Perhaps he doesn't really have any, other than his desire to make himself a celebrity. This certainly makes him an ideal tool.
