On a lighter side - for fun...yet still worthy of thought: The Politico known for a little more in-depth journalism and for asking tough questions or producing pointed stories, highlighted a problem: our new President has a crutch - teleprompters.
If you think back to the campaign and to recent Town Home meetings, you will recall that um, well, uh, see ... um, our president, uh, stt-tuud--ders uh when he is um without his well, you know, his uh teleprompters. Not really studdering, he just cannot deliver collective, thoughtful or notable statements.
As a result, he is not without the prompters. This poses great problems for his adoring media, as they cannot see through them; they get in the way of other notables; must be lowered for those coming after the President...you get the pic - well, if the prompters are not in your way. Other Presidents used them in major settings - resorting to index cards, etc., at other times.
More importantly, this is why he rarely appears to look you in the eye or at least seem to recognize that his fellow Americans are trying to listen, trying to believe and even trying to hope with him. However, his negative encouragement is hard to get around too (that is another story).
Recently, RUSH Limbaugh has been recognized as the "leader of the Republican Party" by the Obama slander machine in an effort to discredit him and bring him down. RUSH has given him an invitation - much like Sean Hannity - to debate him on his show in front of the American Masses. He could have a huge market to "sell" his package, promote his ideals . . . maybe win someone to his side? But he will not accept. Hannity has been asking for this interview/debate opp. for months.
Why? one asks. If Obama is so sure of himself, his plan and people, then get out there. Listen to the better half (ok, couldn't resist) of America - to impart information to us. He is not connecting, he is loosing credibility, failing is approval rates and otherwise turning out to be "more of the same, and worse." He is loosing moderate, Blue Dog, support and raising concerns about just how left he really is (as if we haven't been warning this for months).
The real reason - he cannot think on his own. With the words of his prepared speech or the speech of his writer, he is at a loss, unsure, insincere, shaky - lacking. He is a puppet that must have strings.
