Why on earth would any grown man need a teleprompter to talk to a class of 6th graders?
If this were Bush, we would never hear the end of it.
Good point. If it was President Bush it would be a really huge story rife with mockery and taunting words.
Looking at the text of that speech, I do beleive he MUST HAVE used a teleprompter. I would trust him to memorize maybe ONE minute, but that baby was over FIVE!
The kids however may not have identified it as a teleprompter, they probably thought it was a ‘light shield’
or something.
Either way, Obama and his plans for schoolchildren, really does live up to and fulfills the term the Weekly Standard wrongly applied as criticism to the Bush Plan: ]
“NO CHILD LEFT ALONE”.

My wife thinks Obama may have been a stutterer in his youth and he uses the square teleprompter to, what she calls, “talk-in-the-box.” This gives stutterers some control over their speech.
I’m pretty sure he was giving that speech to the reporters - if you notice, the floors are different in the rooms he was in - also, the rooms were different. Also, I think he was talking to the reporters when he said, “you guys look really cute in those chairs”. Plus, if you listen to the speech, he couldn’t possibly be talking to 6th graders - it would have been waaaaay over their heads. Also, he never looked at to whom he was speaking. I only watched about 2 minutes - that’s all I could take.
