If Bush had done this I'm thinking that it would have been well publicized and mocked. Did he do it? I'm going to bet that he didn't as he was famous for his made up phrases and words that came from "winging it".
I have no respect for Obama's abilities as a "leader" so this story isn't that big a deal...but I think that any politician who uses a teleprompter to speak before children is an idiot. Try to relate to them as actual people instead of a photo-op you f*****g moron.

This is yet again the far-right's great contribution to political discourse. This is precisely the type of stuff you can expect from the intellectual right. That is, absolutely nothing.
Even though everyone with half a mind realizes this stuff is absolutely farcical, even if true, we still might ask, "Is it true"? Well, is it true? As anyone with half a mind probably could have guessed (and expected), it's not true. See here, for example. Again, the right's great contribution.

Oh well. I'm sure now that this misunderstanding has been cleared up, Scuzzy and Innoc will apologize for their rash and ill-informed mockery of the situation.

It's true, he's able to talk to 6th graders without prompting, but when it comes to leadership the teleprompters need to tell the media what's going on in the same setting. Sounds about right.

He's been in office for a year and this is the first time you're gonna bring up the teleprompter? Brilliant detective work, ace.

Is this correct? You don't have any respect for yourself, do you, scuzzy? You're unable to ever admit you're wrong, arent you? You're unable to admit anything on the other side of the retard battle line you've drawn could ever be good, or right, aren't you?

No, which is why I didn't vote for Obama. When he doesn't read from his teleprompter he's another Bush, and that's nothing new either. He's always been that way. Why the rest of the world has fallen in love with his ability to speak is beyond me. He's Bush with a teleprompter. ETA: McCain was a shitty choice as well.

Teleprompters are a more technological way to read off pre-compiled speech. It's no different than reading off a few dozen sheets of paper or out of a book for that matter. Every president that has addressed this nation from its founding, I would imagine, has used some medium of reading off speech written in advanced. The mediums change but the action does not. So, why is Obama the only president getting all this bullshit for using a teleprompter? It's not situational; It's a general complaint. Can we produce a constructive argument against the President or are we going to nitpick? for fuck sake. . .

You can't conclude immediately that he's 'clueless' without one. Despite one's ability to speak well, nervousness can really degrade the experience. The teleprompter provides some level of confidence. You know when you make a mistake, you can correct any mistakes you are presuming to be incorrect, and so on. Perhaps everyone's looking at it for all the wrong reasons. Show me some evidence he's 'clueless' without it, too.

He didn't what? Have them setup in that classroom? Because he did. He made a speech in that classroom.
He also spoke to the kids without one. Edit: A correction. Different classroom. Too bad Jon Stewart made fun of him for it .

I'm sure you could dig up stuff from before he started running as well. You know, for when he spent a few years doing things other than being president.
