God! Look at him! When his teleprompter fails and he has to recite his speeches purely from memory, he stutters slightly and sometimes has to rephrase a sentence or back track a word! And he says uh! I mean, everyone knows every president before him just recited their speeches from memory. What an idiot, he has to rely on having the speech in front of him! Look at JFK when he speaks, and how often he looks down to remind himself that he doesn't have it written down in front of him. Obama should take notes and learn how to speak publicly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuW4oGKzVKc&feature=fvst

Uhh, you realize that JFK is looking down at the written copy of the speech he's giving, right?

Yes, I'd certainly rather he take time to memorize speeches that are being rewritten to the last moment, rather than focusing on policy

What's sad is that Bush had working teleprompters and STILL mesed up his speeches.

I wouldn't call him great; probably the last one in office was Clinton, who had an easy natural style, and before him, Reagan

Yes, it's obvious to everyone he is a sub par speaker without a teleprompter, but public speaking is difficult, especially when speaking to millions.

You are saying nothing new and just trying to be negative.

I thought I was hyperbolic enough to be obvious, but yes, I was joking. My point was that the people who attack Obama for not speaking perfectly without a teleprompter are idiots.

So what do you think Lincoln should have done to prevent states from seceding?

He obviously should've made not owning slaves illegal.

In all seriousness, personally, I just do not get the issue people have with Obama using the teleprompter. Can someone explain it to me? Because I just do not get it. I really don't. To me, seems to be a phony issue if I ever heard one. I mean, as if the previous 50-60 years did not exist, and the teleprompter came into the white house when Obama did.
