There is little question Obama is one the great orators of our time, and ranks up there with the best in historic times as well. For the most part he even writes his own speeches, rather unprecedented in recent decades. Just the facts, regardless of whether you like the guy or not, he makes a helluva speech. Teleprompter? Name one President that HASN'T used notes while making a speech in the last 100 years? Paper or electronic, principle is the same.
Myself, I prefer "Notepad" in Windows over sticky notes, but both have their place.
I approve this message...
