   That is true, D, but Mr. Obama is much more dependent on it than most.

   Kevin would have added some excitement to tonight’s debate. I wonder what he would have done in Benghazi.

   Surrendered. Just like he would have on 9/11.

   From what I recall, Jon Stewart called him out on that. Obama later said that the teleprompters were for a subsequent address in the same location.

   You wouldn’t get taken in by so many hoaxes if you weren’t ready to believe anything bad said about someone you don’t like.

   That’s why it’s better to look for truth than try to make reality fit your wordview.

   Haha, even Bill Maher said he looked lost without the ’prompter in round one, and Maher is so deep in the tank for him, his voice echoes for ten minutes after.

   And yes, many politicians use them, and have for a long time, but not many are reduced to sputtering incoherence without them.

    The teleprompter is also…has gotten….old, too. Romney, on the other hand, has finally learned to repeat the same pieces of misinformation and lies off of the top of his pointed head…and over and over and over again. I’ve done media work in past years, been a target for interviews, and I almost always had some notes ready to keep me and the reporter focused. While staying on topic has become less relevant in politics, it still can be important in the communication component.

    Really? Not like say Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush the Shrub?
    

    
    In most debates no third party was allowed. The one time it was is an anomaly.

    Maybe so, but he can’t speak off the cuff, it is as much as part of him as the rest of his body.

    Why is it that leftists are always touchy whiners? The comic was a gentle play on the Obama teleprompter meme. You’d think The One was losing or something.

    @peter stampfel

    Barry writes his own speeches? How much talent needed to say, “We’re sorry that we are Americans.”?
