A few weeks ago, this board was filled with those threads by posters convinced that the former president of the Harvard Law Review was an empty vessel who could only read a teleprompter. Now that Obama has soundly beaten McCain in two debates, any of you feel the need to reevaluate what was always a transparently ridiculous assessment?
Also, any of you who criticized Obama for this "nothing-without-a-teleprompter" attack feel that label may now be better applied to a certain Vice Presidential candidate, over a month into the campaign and still too dim to give a press conference?
That was last months "McCain drone autoresponder email" talking point- this month's email told the drone all to focus on the Ayers and Wright "connections". There's three or four emails that get recycled, so we should see the teleprompter memo come out again around January- oops- it'll be too late by then........

ahhhh...here we are...
Unfortunately...IMO, last night's debate was nothing but talking points, junk we have all heard before...nobody put out anything other what was already stated previously. So I don't think Obama would need a teleprompter for his talking points...do you? I should hope not. Neither Obama, or McCain stated anything new...though I did find Obama's response on the Israel question interesting...basically he wants UN's permission first..before acting in the best interest of America and our allies, not so suprising, but interesting none the less...
Tom Brokaw chose such safe questions...one might question his motives...or perhaps I would. Out of all the questions, he chose the same lame stuff we've already heard...blah...it was boring, it was all I could do to watch it in it's entire length.
Okay...I'm ready for the attack...let me have it...
> What happened to all the threads about Obama being nothing w/o a teleprompter?
Of course there were teleprompters all over the place, on the camera lenses, on the little colored flashing lights, even some of those audience members were holding up teleprompters. We all know that Obama can't put three words together coherently without them . . .
He has his stuttering down pat, no need for the teleprompter if da da da da da dats all he gonna do.
I said this before, somewhere, but:
I hope Obama serves a full 8 years, and that you get to hear him often. I hope the sound if his voice makes you bleed from the ears. I sincerely hope that you get physical pain every time.
It's the least you deserve for putting us through 8 years of Bush.
Nothing to attack, tnprincess, you made perfectly reasonable responses. If I happen to disagree with points is no reason to attack you.
It's the posters who come into a thread and say "Obama was probably on crack during the debate" that draws the universal disdain of the forum.
Yikes! people really say that sort of thing? comments such as those would not further anybody's cause, and I for one, would certainly never stoop to using them...
