<<Yes, a teleprompter is a tool that allows Obama to talk like a normal person. >>
Normal person? A housewife is a normal person. The guy who fixes your car is a normal person. Obama is NOT a normal person, he's a statesman, he's the President of the U.S.A. The teleprompter when used intelligently, by an intelligent man, helps him sound like a statesman, just like speaker's notes have helped other statesmen to sound like statesmen, just like an actor's memory could have helped Reagan sound like a statesman.
<<It is downright frustrating trying to listen to Obama without it, stammering his way through a sentence.>>
Hah!! What you've just described is Bush, struggling through his ordeal WITH the help of a teleprompter.
