Say what? Turns out President Obama, a man whose soaring oratory won him an election, is hapless and helpless without his Teleprompter. He refuses to give a speech without one (see accompanying video to see why).
The ol’ teleprompter broke down a few times on the campaign trail last summer and Obama responded by delivering some “less than ordinary” speeches.
Presidential historians admit no other president has ever been so dependent on the device. “It’s just something presidents haven’t done,” Martha Joynt Kumar said. “It’s jarring to the eye. In a way, it stands in the middle between the audience and the president because his eye is on the teleprompter.”
Fine. Let Obama have his Teleprompter. But please don’t buy one for Joe Biden.
IHateTheMedia.com depends on the vice president’s ad libs as much as Obama depends on his Teleprompter.
