Obama Sticks to the Script- By PETER BAKER

This article focuses on President Barack Obama's use teleprompters. While introducing his choice for secretary of health and human services (Kathleen Sebelius) Obama read from two slightly hidden teleprompters. For such a simple thing, our commander and chief needed help. Was it that he didn't know the woman's name or was it that he was just to lazy to memorize a script? No, neither one. Pres. Obama writes everything he says, the teleprompters are just a guide, he may read them them word for word but their his words.

The entire purpose of this article is absurd. Most of the people that actually know the facts would agree with my position but it's the ones that don't that I'm talking to. The ones that don't understand that making mistakes while being President isn't an option. Obama has our national security, wallstreet and the continuing rising in unemployment. His speeches cannot be wrong, what he says to the American people in his speeches have to be perfect. It's pathetic to focus on things like the reading from a teleprompter when there are much more important matters in hand. That's exactly the unfocused energy of America's citizens in our world today. In his position their is no room for error. The President before him learned that the hard way.
