Shocker: Obama Needs His 'Prompter
Security blanket.
Resting on top of a tall, narrow pole, they flank his podium during speeches in the White House’s stately parlors. They stood next to him on the floor of a manufacturing plant in Indiana as he pitched his economic stimulus plan. They traveled to the Department of Transportation this week and were in the Capitol Rotunda last month when he paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln in six-minute prepared remarks.
Obama’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.
After the teleprompter malfunctioned a few times last summer and Obama delivered some less-than-soaring speeches, reports surfaced that he was training to wean himself off of the device while on vacation in Hawaii. But no luck.
On that note, it's really too bad the late-night comics or SNL can't find anything funny about Obama.

Ok, you got me on this one. I had to look up the definition of extemporaneously. For the rest of us with coal region publik high skewl edukashions, it means without prior preparation.
My thought is that it is way to hard for Mr. Obama to do his "What Would Karl Marx Do?" translations off the top of his head.Last edited by xxthe_beastxx; March 5th, 2009 at 04:40 PM. Reason: Needed to point out that it was a public school.
