Teleprompting

I find it very interesting to watch and listen to President Obama speak. He is said to have very good communication skills. I think of all the good that we could benefit from someone who had good communication skills if what was being communicated was accurate and true. Another thing I observe with President Obama is that he always takess time to speak slowly and very calculated. It reminds me of President Clinton. Yet, though he has good communication skills I do not see him state anything of significance, it's very political, going around the bush. LOL. no pun intended.

But, the sad thing though is that President Obama has to rely on a teleprompter. When he first started, he only had one teleprompter to speak the words to him. He got into lots of trouble by speaking the lines of other people in conversations. He at one time introduced himself (someone else was supposed to do that; I forgot the instance when this happened, but there have been many of these). Critics complained at one point that he just stared into the teleprompter and never looked at the audience, then he magically got two teleprompters. Now you will see him turn his head like a puppet - guess what he is doing? He is turning from one teleprompter to the other, trying to make it seem like he is not looking at one.

I personally find it more appealing to just speak off the cuff and speak from the heart. Any conservative knows what he believes and can speak from passion and the beliefs. We never change our policies because there is no need to change things that work. So since our policies are successful every time they are tried, we don't need to worry about mis-stating things. There's a simple reality, just like gravity is constant, so is the logic and common sense of conservatism (when understood properly). Other politicians fail to find a rational thought to combat the common sense of conservatism, so instead they rely on fear tactics instead of using logic and explanation.

Oh, I forgot, besides the teleprompter, it is very annoying when Obama in several speaches (in public), turned and said "That's correct right Greg" referring to Greg Craig. It almost sounds like Greg was running the show in many instances. I think he stopped doing this, but I don't know for sure.

I just find it insulting to the public that a President at such critical times as this, has the nerve to spend money and speak from a teleprompter and speak to us like children with his slow speech as if we are ignorant.

Oh, the hilarious moment was at one speech Joe Biden was speaking with the military and it was windy, one of the teleprompters fell over. Joe said in public, "Oh know, now what will President Obama do". It was hilarious.
