Obama is now Telebama

In this post from one of my seminary professors, Dr. Groothuis, on his blog, The Constructive Curmudgeon, he comments on this article from the Washington Times. I find it funny as well that this man who has been praised as being blessed with being such a great communicator can't string a sentence together without electronic help. This does not make him a bad president. It is just funny.

Obama's unheard of reliance on teleprompters is noted in this editorial from The Washington Times. While it is no laughing matter, no TV comedians are spoofing it, which they should. It is passing strange: a law professor who cannot think on his feet--and who is the most powerful man in the world. Using a teleprompter during a press conference is akin to me using one while I am engaged in a live debate or while answering questions in a class I'm teaching.
