6 thoughts on “Obama’s Lack Of Debate Teleprompter”
I’m really curious to see the remaining debates. I’m still open to the possibility that the B-Ho was having a bad night. It happens. Romney could also have a bad night or nights in the remaining debates, and the B-Ho could be on his game. But it wouldn’t mean what people think it means.
The B-Ho has no actual ideas, only slogans and sound bites that have been focus-group tested, and proven to appeal to the worst in people. But he didn’t seem to be able to pull them up very readily, and he certainly wasn’t delivering those he could pull up with any effectiveness.
A skilled sophist can flummox anybody with complete bulls**t. He can win a debate on one side of an issue, then switch sides and win again on the opposite side. If the B-Ho is actually a skilled sophist who was just off his game, it will show in the remaining debates.
As I wrote above, I’m open to the possibility. However, all of the current evidence point to the conclusion that he really isn’t that good at anything.
I don’t think that Mr. Obama’s talking points in the debates with Captain McCain, U.S. Navy, Retired were not all that different from the ones last Wednesday. Captain McCain, bless him, has some of the Naval Academy stubborness left in him after all those years, and I don’t think he took Mr. Obama seriously enough whereas Mr. Obama stuck to his talking points.
I am thinking that Mr. Romney took the President very seriously as a debate opponent and “spent a lot of time watching game films” in preparation. I don’t think Mr. Obama changed at all, simply whom he was debating.
The problem is that the next so-called “debate” has the so-called “town hall” format, where planted shills ask loaded questions. Based on past experience, the Stupid Party has yet to figure that part out, and tries to play fair or at least still thinks these things are “fair and balanced.”
Expect lots of “gotchas” for Mittens and hanging softballs for the Campaigner-in-Chief. The latter could probably bring His fluffy pink security teleprompter with Him, since He and His staff will be answering their own questions.
Couldn’t they hook the output of the teleprompter to Steven Hawkings speech synthesizer to make Obama sound smart?
I think, in the interests of fairness, Obama should be allowed a teleprompter in the debates. Not one for Romney, just Obama. I think that would make a superb visual.
Then, while Romney debates the teleprompter, Obama can devote his full attention to standing there and smiling, something he does fairly well when he puts his full mind to it.
So yes, I have to say, I’m on board for letting Obama have a teleprompter at the debates.

If I were Romney, I’d bring him both a prompter and a chair.
Of course, not winning, too snarky, etc. But it would be awesome.
