Now it makes headlines when President Obama doesn't use his trademark Teleprompter.
Wrapping up his three-day bus tour of North Carolina and Virginia today, the president stopped at a Chesterfield firehouse to promote his jobs bill.
"It is great to be at Fire Station Number 9 with some of Virginia's finest," the president said without the use of his Teleprompter.[No doubt onlookers were stunned- "hey, where's the teleprompter?]
The press pool present felt it necessary to note the lack of the speech-reading device the president prefers to use over note cards. Said the pool report: "One detail from Chesterfield firehouse event: POTUS spoke without a Teleprompter."
Wow... really says something about the man doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe teleprompter and some other equipment for the tour was stolen.

Gee, I wonder if these thieves were just curious if Obama could speak without it.
I did hear about it being stolen! Wasn't it recovered shortly after?
ReplyDeleteHe could become the best ex tempore speaker in the world (hypothetically!) and he would never shake the image of the teleprompter kid. It's the way it works with public life.
