What are you uh talking uh about? Obama is - he is a - uh, a fine speaker on par - uh, reminiscent of JFK, MLK, and Linco, uh, Abraham Lincoln. His ability to uh, think on his head, shoulde...uh, feet, is unparalleled in Pakis...uh, American history.

Unfortunately McCain isn't very good WITH a teleprompter either.

LOL, exactly.

Now THAT'S a problem.

Palin so far is great with a teleprompter or barring that, typed notes.

For, you know. All of...one speech.

Yay!

(Yeah, yeah...I know...I'm "just scared"...oh, and by the way, "Flip flop!" and "Drill! Drill!"--saved y'all the bother of droning those, too. :P )

They all screw up. I don't think I could stand in front of a crowd like that and speak, even read from notes. Good night you would think we electing Jesus. There just are no more Saints available folks.

no, you think Jesus is in the running.

People praise how great of a speaker he is, but in this instance and in the video at the top of the post you can see how not so great he is.

They don't just get in front of a teleprompter and read the speech for the first time of seeing it. They rehearse, rehearse, rehearse yet McCain still can't remember how it goes. He said in his speech that Palin works with her hands and nose....lmao, then he repeated Knows and carried on.... sooooo funny.

I watched his speech twice. He even confused the delegates who didn't know where the applause lines where and kept interupting him in the wrong places. He stumbled, bumbled and smiled sweetly. Amazing speech but for ALL the wrong reasons.
