[Image]Current GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich referenced a popular (among right-wingers) but baseless attack against President Obama this weekend during a speech in Naples, Florida. Challenging the President to a series of Lincoln-Douglas style debates, Gingrich told the crowd “If he (President Obama) wants to use a teleprompter, that would be fine with me.”
...I hate to break it to Newt Gingrich, but President Obama isn’t going to need a teleprompter to debate Newt Gingrich, he’s going to need fist-pillows so he doesn’t hurt him too badly. Gee, Tommy, I'm sure Newt's trembling at the prospect.
I'm actually a little miffed because now we'll have to update President Obama's Complete List of Historic Firsts to include Tommy Christopher's noteworthy accomplishment; he's the first reporter ever to have his lips surgically attached to a president's keister.

LOL - LOVE the teleprompters to speak to elementary school kids. I'd forgotten how silly it looked. Must - stop - laughing.

I've read that he uses teleprompters in White House meetings too.

I dispute your contention - Tommy may be the deepest, but David "Crease in his pants" Brooks was the first.

@Anonymous (if that's your real name): Either David Brooks or Chrissy Matthews.

And let's not forget Obama's recent proclamation that Hawaii (his own alleged birthplace) is in ASIA!

This all reminds me of when Hirohito came down and signed that surrender to MacArthur...
...it is specifically why I don't like to use words like "victory".
