Let's see how he holds up to real questions now that the press has successfully thrown the election in his favor and struggles to restore its neutral image by asking real questions. Should be a blast watching him contradict himself and otherwise expose himself as being the intellectual light weight he really is.
Obama has it made as far as the press. Today they gave him a standing ovation before he even said a word. I don't believe that's ever been done before, not even with the other media idol Bill Clinton.
The press simply adores Obama, they helped create him and they will never ask him a tough question. They can't. They'd be called racist if they did but they wouldn't want to anyhow.
I only caught a few minutes of it. The man looked exhasted. Do you realise how grueling the last few weeks have been? Not to mention the last year? Combine all that with having to measure every word he says.
OK, But Palin is a moron, right?
Nice double standard and total lack of credibility.
You got it backwards. Palin does not need a teleprompter. Do you remember her first speech to the nation (when nominated for VP)? The teleprompter's technician had problems pausing for the applause, and Palin had to continue speaking from memory, and a couple of times improvised to fill the gap.
Obama's problem is stuttering. Have you ever heard Gordon Liddy speak? When he was young, he had a bad stuttering problem. Later, with a lot of mental training, he solved the problem, and nowadays one can't tell that he stuttered.
If being a dim wit causes stuttering, I completely agree.

Watch the ratings at Fox News go through the roof if the liberal mainstream news media continues to ask softball questions.

No, if she had a teleprompter she'd be able to list at least a few newspapers! Did you see her on the news tonight? "I know, I know, I know..." (What she doesn't know is mind boggling.) Anyway, the story about the teleprompter is false. Another one of the fairy tales reported on the Drudge Report and Fox Noise. I suppose you believe Ashley Todd was attacked by a large Black man too?

I think we can all admit the McCain-Obama debates were dull. Biden and Palin were far more interesting to listen to -- and it wasn't because of Biden although he did okay.
Giving careful thought to an important question can be dull I suppose. Yes, Palin was interesting during the VP debate, but she couldn't answer any of the questions and got a lot of the facts wrong when she did. I can't believe people are more impressed by someone's performance than his or her substance and knowledge.

This post is completely counter-productive in the unity of this nation. Who was the darling of the press post 911? Suckered the American public into the situation we're in RIGHT NOW. Who created what? Bush built a reputation on 3000 innocent American lives.
