Will Obama go anywhere WITHOUT his teleprompter?

Barack Obama -- called "the most eloquent political speaker of our time" -- has become known as the teleprompter president.

The issue gathered momentum when Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen read 20 seconds of Obama's teleprompter remarks at a White House ceremony before realizing his mistake. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, at her nomination as head of Health and Human Services, was made to wait in awkward silence while Obama's teleprompter was adjusted. Then came Obama's use of the big-screen autocue at Tuesday night's news conference.

Coverage by Ron Fournier of The Associated Press began: "What kind of politician brings a teleprompter to a news conference?" A recent Politico story asserted, "President Barack Obama doesn't go anywhere without his teleprompter," calling it a "crutch."

He'd go to dinner without it. XD

That's all I could think of, but I think you have answered your question yourself with your research. :)

It is a big N-O.

How many presidents have been called out because they said something stupid? Obama has already been caught out once (with his Special Olympics comment) and a good president would make damn sure that it did not happen again. If that means a teleprompter then why is that so bad?

it's crazy huh... pretty soon it will be a "Telepalmpter" a teleprompter that fits in the palm of your hand... amazing...

He's just another globalist robot without it.

I don't think so, he's almost as bad a Blaggo and his comb.

ummm errr uhhhh uhhh..... no.
