Obama and AIG - Ed Henry why days for outrage

Not a bad answer. Except he knew about the bonuses ... he didn't know the people would get so ticked off.

jume: I never said I was against prompters, I take issue with our president usng them almost every time he talks to a group of people. I have no confidence in his knowing what he's talking about. I agree to disagree, because you are wrong. : )

I guess each of us has strong opinion on this matter (I consider the use of a teleprompter - which is common practice by heads of state, governors, and public figures, to be necessary. You consider it a lack of intellectual prowess and leadership skills). I submit to you that "speech class students" are not speaking in multiple fora each day and that their speeches have no effect on anything but their grades (the stock market won't crash if they forget their "lines"). We should agree to disagree

Joe: Precisely. Nothing more, nothing less. We're being played like a deck of cards - At least some of us. Nice nickname - Common Sense is all that is required to see through this president and his empty promises of hope and transparency. Shame on us for allowing our most powerful office to be tarnished in this way. Bush was bad, but this is no comparison; the Blame-Bush syndrome is already out of steam.

The real reason is that there was no outrage. He knew about the bonuses long before that. He was gauging the response of the people and determining how best to PLAY them.

jume: Forgive me for my bluntness, but that is a ridiculous comparison. If you got in a fight with your brothers and burnt the house down, and your parents pretended it didn't happen for 3 days, would that make sense? Not so much. At a time when America is in chaos, and Congress is running amok, we need a president who will stand up in the center of the chaos and show his resolve - not hang out with Jay Leno and make jokes about disabled people. How can you so blindly defend this guy?!

jume: I already explained the difference. It's the same reason when you are in a speech class you can't stand up there and read a paper. You have to be able to show you know what you're talking about. Notes are one thing, but when someone, especially a leader, stands in from of his people and reads a speech to them it's very uninspiring and doesn't create a sense of confidence in them.

You're making this too complicated. Your definition says it all: SCRIPT.

[jumeiraboy2000]

Secondly, The president waiting to get comprehensive information before publicly commenting on an issue as contentious as you agree it was (people sending death threats, etc) would be behavior most becoming of the commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, no? For example, whenever my brothers and I got in a fight, my parents didn't yell or punish either, or both, of us until they had calmed us down and determined the root cause of the "quarrel".You're fighting ghosts otherwise

[jumeiraboy2000]

My friend. Please, what is the difference between reading one's prepared remarks and reading said remarks off a teleprompter. I wanted to be sure of what I say before speaking, so I looked up the definition for TelePrompTer |ˈteləˌpräm(p)tər|

noun trademark

a device used in television and moviemaking to project a speaker's script out of sight of the audience.

Everyone uses teleprompters, It is next to impossible to commit that many words to memory in the right order.
