re: #306 RogueOne

The teleprompter meme is just tedious. He’s spoken impromptu any number of times to town halls and so forth. Would you be as critical if he used notes, other than they wouldn’t be as visible?

I do think he needs to wean himself off, if for no other reason than to kill the meme, (and the implication that he’s unable to express himself without it).

My guess is that they don’t provide teleprompters when teaching constitutional law or when going to law school (both of which he has done), so the whole thing is just silly, and reduces the credibility of those who would criticize Obama for his actual failings, of which there are enough to discuss without getting trivial about it.
