What’s got into the Associated Press today? They’re actually criticizing Obama for using a teleprompter in his press conference.

WASHINGTON – What kind of politician brings a teleprompter to a news conference?

A careful one.

President Barack Obama took no chances in his second prime-time news conference, reading a prepared statement in which he took both sides of the AIG bonus brouhaha and asked an anxious nation for its patience.

“There are no quick fixes,” he said, “and there are no silver bullets.”

Is Obama trying to fix the economy or kill a werewolf?
