| | | Obama's teleprompter hits the trail
Barry must have done a few too many lines of coke the night before, don't you think?
Can this clown say anything without a teleprompter? "Uh, um, uh, um" is about all he can muster.
This guy is an empty suit and is not qualified for the job.
Obama's teleprompter hits the trail
Posted: 06:50 PM ET
Obama delivered his remarks at the Colorado State Fair of a teleprompter.
(CNN) — It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.
The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.
But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.

I was watching a news segment and they did an "uh" counter. In like a 3 minutes interview he said "uh" over 35 times.  |

You guys have to nuts if you think he is the only one who uses one, All their speaches are written by someone else.
I have a cousin who writes speaches for Bush Sr.
I would rather listen to someone reading off a teleprompter then listen to someone like G.W. Bush butcher the English language! |

Bush butcher the English language! | Others use them for formal settings but not for normal campaign rallies and town hall events. Obama is now using them for all public speaking appearances. Plus, when Sarah Palin's froze up during her acceptance speech she winged it and no one knew there was a problem. If Barry's breaks down he isn't able to say anything except "uh". It'll be interesting to see how he does at the debates. "Yes, I would love to tell you what I think of that. Uh... Uh... Uh... Please wait till my teleprompter tells me what to say." |

obama cant say what he wants to say, which is why he has to read from a teleprompter. when he has to speak off the cuff he has issues because if he says what he truly believes he would lose the election by a huge margin. he might get new york, california, and mass. but that would be about it. sarah palin on the other hand doesnt need the teleprompter because she speaks from the heart, and with in her beliefs, thus she doesnt have to search for something to say, and neither does john mccain. |

Oh, yeah... The 30-year senator (who looks a lot like the "other presidents on the dollar bills") who's supposed to help represent "change" in Washington.
Where is ol' Joe anyway? Out stealing other people's speeches? Drying out at the Betty Ford Clinic? Getting more hair plugs installed? Maybe his beloved Amtrak train (a model of government efficiency) has just been delayed for the last 3 weeks.
I'm sure Obama's puppet masters are haulin' out the teleprompters to make sure Barry doesn't forget what city he's in... Or how many states there are... Or when he was born... He's had enough John Kerry moments for one campaign. |

He's ACTUALLY out asking Chuck Hagel to stand up, while showing his surprise for how clean-cut and well-spoken Obama is for a black man. I guess he's never seen one of those before.  |

Do they use teleprompter's during the debates? I hope not so more people can see this clown for who he is. They rag on bush for 8 yrs about his speaking yet they put up this guy who is lost for what to say w/ out his teleprompter. At least when Bush has spoken he comes across as an everyday American you can connect to. Not some puppet from the left who cannot put anything in his own words w/ out being told what to say, when to say and how to say it.

I would rather listen to someone reading off a teleprompter then listen to someone like G.W. Bush butcher the English language! | YES!!! Lets chose a puppet who is told what to say and when to say it, someone who cannot think of what to say on their own. That's a great choice!!!
YAY for Donny and his skewed views on politics |

Ive always said it does not matter, its never been a huge voting point for me based on how well the president speaks but left has made it out out to be the only thing that matters. Point being Obama is no better then anyone else at it, he speaks well off a teleprompter that's about it. I care more about what a candidate stands for on the issues, not how well he pronounces words. Everyone speaks differently. |
