CNN Political Ticker: Obama’s teleprompter hits the trail (CNN) — It appears Barack Obama’s teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail. The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn’t use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events. But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring. Nothing more to say. I left my teleprompter ...

Obama on Teleprompter
The Anchoress —
Last month I got a steaming hot email from a reader, or someone, excoriating me for suggesting that Barack Obama is lost without the teleprompter. I was told that my assertion was my “parroting” of talk radio (I only listen to talk radio in the car, and not always then), and that I was “hateful” and “full of hate” and so forth. And today, we see that Barack Obama has begun dragging the teleprompter with him to the rodeo because he cannot be trusted to speak extemporaneously before these small local crowds, where you’re supposed to be able to do that, or at least to keep on ...
