John Lott's Website: The trouble with using teleprompters all the time

4/27/2009

This mix up with the teleprompter is slightly embarrassing for the president.

Matthew Mulligan said...: The President completely locks-up when one of these technical failures occurs. The marvel is how the media keeps presenting the President as a smart and unscripted thinker. If he can't speak 'unscripted,' he probably can't think that way well either.; 4/27/2009 1:46 PM
Martin G. Schalz said...: Excellent point Matthew. When the puppets strings are cut, what happens next?

Years ago, I was placed in front of thousands of folks, in a very important meeting, shall we say. I froze up. I was 15 years old, and I like to think that perhaps I had an excuse.

If this were to occur today, after some decades, I do not think that I would need a teleprompter to bail me out.

I wish and hope for another chance to express myself verbally to said assemblage now, as I know darn well how to express myself without any help.

Geez, I am not even in charge of anything, and I know I can pull it off!; 4/28/2009 8:11 PM
