Fox News website-the single most important story in the world is......
http://www.foxnews.com/



What kind of politician brings a massive teleprompter to a news conference? A careful one. And Obama took no chances in his second prime-time news conference.

Analysis: Giant Teleprompter Telegraphs Obama Caution
President takes no chances in his second prime-time news conference, reading a prepared statement from a massive TV screen, but it was no help during the question-and-answer session.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/25/analysis-giant-teleprompter-telegraphs-obama-caution/

It was a carefully modulated statement, and Obama -- relying on a familiar crutch -- read it off a flat-screen monitor perched at the back of the East Room.

The teleprompter was no help during the question-and-answer session (reporters don't signal their intentions), but Obama was no less careful during that give and take.
.....

One of the few times he summoned raw emotion came after a reporter demanded to know why it took him so long to express outrage over the AIG executive bonuses.

"It took a couple of days because I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak."

Even better, he likes to have it up on the teleprompter.

1. They're shooting blanks.
If this is really, truly all they have to complain about we're in great shape.

The desperation is showing: when will Americans wake up and discover what a terrible mistake they have made in electing a Marxist socialist communist Stalinist fascist Nazi terrorist to the presidency? When will his numbers finally tank? Oh wait, this'll do it for sure: he uses a teleprompter so he's sure he says what he intended to! Ooga booga!

4. You are right. We could list the long line of BS attacks they have tried in just the first 65 days
Geitner is in the clear now after his testimony yesterday too.

They have nothing but this is the news/politics of our time-it is all about the individual (not policy or issues), beleifs/ideology (not history or reason), and of course ATTACK

2. and they wouldn't show Bush's teleprompter

3. This whole "telepromter" thing
reminds me of an old saying: "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight."

17. Perhaps they would prefer a president that makes an ass of himself every time he opens his mouth.
Been there done that.
