Teleprompter or no teleprompter. Bush had teleprompters and still sounded like an uneducated idiot.

Small things count.

1. I'm so very grateful to have a president who doesn't make me squirm
because of his inability to communicate.

This man is a gem.

That isn't supposed to happen at the UN.

3. And again...and again! The UN must think he's a strong breath of
fresh air, too.

4. The teleprompter does not bother me ~ to give a speech
like that and use modern day technology is OK with me.

What bothered me was to have the GW Bulge behind his back when no one else was allowed to -- and the fact that the Media did not call him on it.

There were absolute crickets from the MSM -- they would neer have let a Democrat get away with that LIE.

5. Yeah, and one who won't look like a dumbfuck by trying to open a locked door.
Oh, and one who won't show up totally fucking wasted everywhere he goes.

While were at it, one who won't wipe out on a bike while drunk and nearly kill a policeman.

6. You Bet. Nice not to be the embarrassed American

in group. Funny too how the Right now has the nerve to tell us to move on from
the Bush Administration. We now have a new President they tell us. :)

Senators’ ACORN vote ‘makes blood boil’

10. I love having a President who can both speak extemporaneously
and know what the word means. I may not be behind many of his policies but he is one cool dude.

11. I am very glad not to have to see that little "grin" W used to do
from time to time - made him seem dumber than he actually was, quite a trick if you think about it.....

That was embarassing to me.

12. YES it is. It's nice to have someone who takes the job seriously too.
Instead of making failed attempts at playing comedian.

14. Call me picky, but it would be nicer of he had something helpful to say.
But yes, he is a far better orator than the IFB.

19. Sorry but Bush did NOT use teleprompters ...
he couldn't read, you know.

Other than books like "My Pet Goat" that is.
