Which is it? He had to use a teleprompter to talk to the kids or he didn't say anything at all?

You're getting well skilled at completely changing the premise of your position as soon as you're proven wrong.

Didn't read all of the posts but how do you use a teleprompter to answer questions?

Exactly. Like I said up above, there must be a wizard behind a curtain somewhere feeding him the answers.

Where was the prompter during his Q&A with the Republican body?

Let me check my teleprompter and I'll get right back to you

FYI...I don't really care if O uses one or not. It's what comes out of his mouth that sometimes matters anyway.

Agreed.

I came across an interesting quote from one of his spokesmen about that:

Quote:
Bill Burton, a White House spokesman, replied by e-mail: “Whether one uses note cards or a teleprompter, the American people are still a lot more concerned about the plans relayed than the method of delivery. This is not always true of the media.”

You have the telepromtee with an iPhone to quickly look up the answer to any question and type it in.

What was that show that had the option to "phone a friend"?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

My intension was that of getting a good chuckle at your expense with all in good taste.
I felt this unexpected weird sensation when writing your name so I understand what you mean by creepy.
