Teleprompting Obama - White House '08

B. Hussein Needs a Teleprompter Binky
Tammy Bruce — Only because he's reliant on what others tell him to say. If George Soros was better at throwing his voice, this would be less of an issue. Teleprompting Obama According to several Democrat political consultants presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama spent part of his Hawaiian vacation working on weaning himself from a heavy dependence on teleprompters.

Leak: Hussein Literally Can’t Speak Without Teleprompters
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — “For such a fine speaker”? Well, apparently he’s not.
