I am amazed at how long conservatives are stretching out the old, hackneyed, overdone, and ultimately very weak angle that Democrats are somehow evil because: teleprompters.

What's wrong with the economy today? Teleprompter!
Why is there a health care problem? Teleprompters!!!
What is wrong with the USA's response to the Haiti earthquake? Teleprompter Obama!!!

Telepromturrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey conservatives, what do you think would be a good move in the war on terrorism? Let me guess: Obama has a teleprompter! Wow, thanks for that insightful answer, same answer you cons give for everything.

PS - I read this entire post from a teleprompter as I typed it up. TELEPROMPTER!

Some context.

If the kool aid guzzlers didn't go on and on and on about what an eloquent and intelligent speaker Obama is, when in reality he reading someone else's words from a script, displayed on the teleprompter, very few would notice or care.

Lay off the rampant idolatry and the criticisms about such minutia will fade.

I guess you must be right because at 16 years old and living in your parents basement you have a perspective the rest of us don't have.

The ironic thing is:

The critics of Obama using a teleprompter are probably reading their criticisms off of a TELEPROMPTER!

But you're from Chicago. That makes you a thug. I don't trust thugs. You guys are always shoving teleprompters down our throats.
