What's the big deal about whether or not Obama uses a teleprompter?

I have a lot of experience in speaking before a tough crowd (Children's Liturgy of the Word) and I can tell you it's very easy to lose your train of thought when giving a speech or presentation. By all accounts, Obama writes a lot of his speeches himself and works with his speech writers on the others. He has been consistent in the philosophy he presents and there is no doubt that he is presenting what he honestly believes.

1. There is no big deal.

Just a lot of sad, desperate people grasping at straws.

2. Dang it! I drive my car without steerin'! I drink coffee right out of the machine!

I don't use computers! I use sticks and twigs and scribble on rabid chihauhuas with my bare hands!

Do the Hillbots complain when she uses a teleprompter?

:crazy:

3. I guess they want him to memorize a speech he just wrote yesterday.

4. There is no big deal- that's all Obama detractors can throw at him after...

...such an incredible event: that he used a teleprompter.

  That's great news to this Obama supporter- cause that's all Team Hillarity's got.

  Well, that and hoping they can steal the nomination by strong-arming delegates.
