If Obama made just ONE misstep in his speech - - he would be crucified.

Let's face it -- he is crucified for breathing.

Speeches are carefully written for a reason. He can't just "wing it" - - not even to a 6th grade class.

Reality is what it is.

Painful to watch isn't it?

Because that is exactly what people do to every politician.

You know it comes with the territory, you put yourself out there and you are under the microscope,

I wouldn't want that position,

YOu have to take the good with the bad, pay the piper.

And Bush wasn't?

The Obama/Bush/Clinton/Bush/Regan/Carter/Ford/Nixon comparative references are useless, it would be just like me naming my turds floating around pre flush, theyre all in the same bowl, none really that different from each other. They all work(ed) for the same people (none here).
Topic= teleprompter=script=no free range thinking allowed, (aloud).

This thread is nothing but clown shoes.

Yes, he used a prompter, probably would have been better to use notes in this case...but does it matter? Does it matter that he was speaking to kids or adults? Each speech a president gives has a very specific purpose. He must convey certain things each time so he uses a prompter. What is the big deal?

"he can't even speak to 6th graders without help" boo hoo...

we all know he is a figure head. FIGURE HEAD. His speaking abilities have nothing to do with how he "runs the country."

This thread derails from the real issues we are facing as a country.

but by all means...lets sit back and argue whether or not our president should use a prompter...

we can just let the recent supreme court ruling fall by the wayside and lose all representation...

but by god, our president will not use a damn prompter.

Yes! I'd make the same statement for any Top Level Politician.

Sadly - this subject says more about people - then it does about Obama.

Why is he even making speeches to school children? Too many speeches dude, not enough management of the disaster in progress.

Thanks for the laugh. I wonder, does his teleprompter have little highlights saying " Nod here." "make pointing gesture with finger, now- DO NOT USE MIDDLE FINGER" "smile here".
For the digs at President Bush, for all his fumbles in speaking, at least with him he made a point of looking at the camera and when he spoke he gave the impression of talking to you an spoke with feeling.
With obama when he speaks, there's nothing there, no emotion, nothing.
