"There’s one reason above all others that President Obama uses a teleprompter in delivering most of his speeches: he’s good at it.

Ronald Reagan was the same way. He was more at ease in reading his speech off the dual screens of a teleprompter than looking up and down at a speech text on his lectern

Not so, George W. Bush. He often got that nervous, deer-in-the-headlights look when giving an address from a teleprompter. He would seem stiff and ill-at-ease. He did not convey a sense of understanding.

“He preferred using large index cards,” said his one-time White House Press Secretary Ari Fleisher, “plus I think he was just more comfortable with the cards.”

I think zero percent will go up there and have something memorized or just talk as they go. Why would anyone do that? It would be ugly without a teleprompter or something pre-written in hand.

All of them will use that technology, I’d suppose. Why wouldn’t they?

Stop being a Republican for a minute. Be an American. Our President just won the Nobel Peace Prize. That’s good for America.

Your acting as if Republicans have ever NOT used a teleprompter.

Precisely what is so bad about insuring that you don’t make a total fool about yourself to the world?

The President is being mature AND RESPONSIBLE BY KEEPING A TELEPROMPTER THERE.
