When CBS has to come out with a story explaining obama's overuse of the TOTUS, I can guarantee the subject has hit a nerve.

No, we continue to wonder why you people think this is an issue. You mystify us. We've stopped laughing and just look at you and wonder if maybe there's something wrong. It's about you, not us.

Did you read the post he was responding to? Unless you're calling Sarene a lefty.

Is it any worse to use a telepromter than note cards? Pray tell, just what is the philosophical difference? Both are using prepared notes.

With all the nonsense written about Obama's use of teleprompters, maybe this article might clear things up a bit.

It is not about Obama using them, it is about how lost he is without them or when they turn on him.

Out of curiosity, how "lost" do you think a speaker would be if their notes blew away in the wind? Any difference?
