So Obama relies too much on a teleprompter???

[jasmeel]

We had an absolute fucking grade A super MORAN in the office of the president for 8 fucking years and we're supposed to be upset that Obama reads well thought out important speeches he's prepared from a teleprompter??? It's on the front page of Yahoo for some reason.

3. They're just making shit up. First Mrs. Obama's arms. Then Obama drinking a beer...

Now a teleprompter.

EDIT: One might suspect that they're going for the "death by 1000 cuts" tactic.

5. I think it's great to have a president who can write his own speeches.

Just look at what happened to Jindal when someone wrote a speech for him.

8. Even Bush Was Accused of Using a Wireless Device in his Debate with Kerry

George Bush hass a rectangular bulge under his suit coat during the presidential debates, that suggested Bush was getting talking points through a hidden electronic device.

According to Solon.com:

...a technical expert who designs and makes such devices for the U.S. military and private industry tells Salon that he believes the bulge is indeed a transceiver designed to receive electronic signals and transmit them to a hidden earpiece lodged in Bush's ear canal.

"There's no question about it. It's a pretty obvious one -- larger than most because it probably has descrambling capability," said Alex Darbut, technical and business development vice president for Resistance Technology in Arden Hills, Minn.

Darbut examined photographs of the president's back taken from the Fox News video feed at the first presidential debate in Coral Gables, Fla., as well as 2002 photos of the president driving and working in a T-shirt on his Crawford ranch, which were posted on the White House Web site.

Darbut speculates that the device the president wears is provided by the Secret Service, noting, "They're not going to have him driving around the countryside on his ranch without being in instant contact with him."
