61. And Reagan used teleprompters very well

Feb 2012

without being mocked for it.
Well they all use teleprompters for long speeches. Obama, like Reagan and even Palin are/were good with them. Bill Clinton was great with them

Bush was not, neither was McCain so they used notes more. Biden isn't at his best with them

But when it comes to answering questions when you can't use teleprompters... that is where our Dems shine. That is what matters

Just recalled McCain saying a few days ago that in all the years of seeing and being in campaigns he has never seen one as negative and personal as Obama ran against him in 2008 so he worries about how bad he will get in 2012.

So I guess Obama must have called McCain at home and said mean things to him?
Or he took great umbrage at the least critical thing 'that one' said about him.

Strange
