Obama won't leave home without it
CNN's Political Ticker reports that Obama is now using his teleprompter even for campaign rallies, as in this one held in a bull ring (how appropriate is that!) yesterday in Pueblo, CO.
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.
Too bad we have only one major party candidate for the Oval Office capable of speaking without a prepared script. It raises questions about his authenticity when Obama is afraid to speak without a script.
This disability of Obama should give pause to all those who think he is so well-prepared for our nation's highest office.
