March 25, 2009 - 13:48 ET by BeanManI'm thinking this is more proof that Obama is merely a figurehead for those really in charge. They can tell him what to say and even how to say it.

No it shows that Presdient Obama cannot even give a short statement from memory. That he cannot think on his feet. And that he's the most unqualified man ever to hold the office.

If anyone could be encouraged by what Obama read and in his unique, hesitating, and annoying answers to simple questions must be drinking their favorite flavor of Kool-Aid. The man needs to go, the sooner the better. I didn't vote for the charlatan, I voted for McCain, but that shouldn't mean Obama gets a clear path to destroy America, no matter the majority of like minded, brain dead voters. Shouldn't the Constitution and the past mean more to America's future than a simple, present day majority. Tell me, who is going to make it through the next 3+ years? I might not....

March 25, 2009 - 13:58 ET by ChuchulainnThere is nothing in that picture that would prove Obama was reading from a teleprompter during a news conferrence. He certainly woudn't has been using what was on the screen to answer a question at a news conference.

read the article.
March 25, 2009 - 14:30 ET by mizflame98Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small.

~Hello again
March 25, 2009 - 14:29 ET by choselife3xObama has relied on a teleprompter through even the shortest
announcements and when repeating the same lines on his economic
stimulus plan that he's been saying for months — whereas past
presidents have mostly worked off of notes on the podium except during
major speeches, such as the State of the Union.
That high-pitched scream you hear is the troll under my heel.

March 25, 2009 - 15:52 ET by StewMcKinI guess I just don't have a problem with this. I know, everyone is going to jump on me for bringing up W, but wouldn't you rather have a president who comes across as being well spoken, as opposed to one who...hm...isn't? If he needs a prompter for this, so be it. We should be more concerned with his policy rather than how it is delivered.

For decades Presidents have used old fashioned TV display teleprompters like this one. This may even be President George W. Bush's old teleprompter.

March 25, 2009 - 16:04 ET by nofateA little off topic, but I just watched this video at American Thinker, "If Republicans Had Any Guts", of Daniel Hannan, a conservative member of Parliament that our pols all need to watch. Where are the conservative members of our House or Senate that would stand up and say this to Obama and his henchmen? Instead our Republican so-called conservatives use Rush, Hannity, and Levin for cover so they don't have to appear to nakedly against Obama. Do you want Obama to succeed or not??? Where's your balls??? Shriveled up inside, it looks like. Kudos to Mr. Hannan.
The pols are still leaving it up to the talkers with the targets on their backs, taking every opportunity to run the opposite direction and not cover their backs ala the "fairness doctrine". Read Mark Levin's new book. If the pols can't grow a set, the voters are going to have to.
