President Teleprompter

[xul]

Thank heaven nowaday politicians only use TelePrompter.....if one day some scientists invent a way to embed microchips into politicians's head, it may be the day that Hollywood film TERMINATOR becomes true.

Trying to say something seriously:

I think public and media should give our dear politicians a little tolerance when they made accidentally mistakes or gaffe so that they can make themselves more human than machines, or we'd better ask them pluging the loudspeakers in political rallies and the microphones of reporters into their TelePrompters Audio Output socket to make sure minimizing any mistakes of them.

Then you liked GWB?

You left-wingers have to get over GWB already. He isn't in power anymore.

I think what I said suit for all politicians, include Obama and Bush.

Bush was the president, so he is responsible for the consequence caused by the decisions he made during his term. For example, Bush told public that Sadaam was making nuclear bombs, so he had to be responsible for misleading public. If he told the congress that Sadaam was making a nuclear bomb, and several minutes later he corrected his words, said it's just a mistake made by his teleprompter and Sadaam had not the ability to make a nuclear bomb, it would just be a gaffe, not misleading.

Making a gaffe is embarrassing, but if public downplays the harmless gaffes politicians made, it will make politicians spending more time on essential of political affairs not on verbalism, so they can serve their countries and people better.

Why does anyone care how Barak delivers his messages? Isn't the message more important than it's delivery? Isn't his action more telling that his inability to pronounce a word here and there?

If THIS is the worst the anti-obama camp can come up with, it's pretty sad. Like grasping for straws.

Why does anyone care how Barak delivers his messages?

Because the greatest enemy of democracy is not Stalin, Mao, Khomeini or Bin Ladin but the witless people who has no idea to distinguish what is a ballot box and what is a trash can.

A teleprompter is a high-tech version of cue cards. Using cue cards does not make a person witless, though believing so may.

When you can do a million speeches a week without any sort of mental assistance, then you can talk about how horrible it is that a man who writes his own speeches also needs a COMMON visual aid to consistently deliver his message.

Using available tools to increase his quality of speech-giving is nothing but intelligent.

I have no problem with those politicians who use teleprompters. A teleprompter is just a computerized speech note. Its function is just like the old paper speech notes we widely used before teleprompts were invented.

What I said in the last post was a response to your question "Why does anyone care how Barak delivers his messages? Isn't the message more important than it's delivery? Isn't his action more telling that his inability to pronounce a word here and there?"

I genuinely agreed with what you said. What I wanted to say was that common people and media were more and more interest in politicians's gaffes and scandals than their policies would kill the real meaning of democracy itself. If voters vote politician merely depending on their feeling of the politicians not reasonable consideration of the policies of the politicians, it is just equivalent putting their ballots into trash cans. And they care the way of the delivery of the message more than the message itself because they are "witless", I meat they failed to get a fully understanding of the policy so they can hardly criticize the policy by a reasonable way.

Ah... whoops... talk about witless I misunderstood you, sorry.

Personally I don't care if he lip-syncs his own speeches. It's still better than having someone else's speeches fed to him through an ear bud.

Myself I'm not so good at the public speaking, but I hardly think that disqualifies me from anything but teaching public speaking. I can get it done if/when I have to. And I use every tool available to me when I have to publicly speak so that I don't come out looking like a moron.

It's really easy to judge someone who misspeaks, but I think unless you have a hundred reporters throwing questions and microphones at you every day no matter where you go or what oceans you cross, and you perform flawlessly on each and every occasion to achieve 100% verbal accuracy, then one shouldn't throw stones.

Sometimes when you try so hard to be perfect, you screw up just in spite.

Nawh nawh ! Nay I say! IF ------------------------ You are a leader your job is to know what is going on and what to say to cause those in need of leadership to follow - IF you need a speech writer in constant service or a teleprompter then you are NOT a leader - You are an inferiour who has been put in a position of leadership articially - and that is why with our sytem we have no leaders - just rule by a huge corporate committee with a second rate actor as a front man ---------------booring~

So, the only quality a leader of a nation needs is the ability to memorize and recite speeches emotionally to stir the right people up?

It isn't possible that a perfectly intelligent person is just terrible at public speaking without aid?

I hate to break it to you - but the president of the united states is democratically elected. Even if you don't like if the president works for the corporations and the citizens.

You can't blame the players if the game is broke.

Firstly, being a political leader means he has to do some boring social intercourse, like this photo Canadian PM visited an Indian temple showed. Most Canadians don't want their PM spending several days time to recite such living-buddha stuff and put more important business away, do they? So useing a teleprompter is better and I have no doubt that the politicians have no idea of what the faith is in these temples when they praise these temples give people faith , they just read what some his aids write for them.

secondly, if a political leader leads a big modern country, it is impossible that he is an expert on all things going on under his leadership. Just as a president of an university can not be a know-it-all of all his professors's professions and specialties. So they have to depend on the help of their aids and specialists. This is not a shame of them.

Obama recognizes Sec Def "William Gates"

Uh, Mr. President. That would be Robert Gates sir.

Damn teleprompters.

This video (link) says it all. After swatting a fly, the President had to look at the teleprompter to regain his place.

Pretty funny to say the least.

But that certainly doesn't show he was helpless without it.

He seemed to do quite fine answering questions from the GOP with out a teleprompter but keep underestimating him maybe he can put some more GOP members in their place like he did last week. LOL

Maybe he was speaking Canadian when he pronounced "corps-men" or maybe he meant "corpse men".

Later that day, it was found out that Obama in fact cut the bread for a sandwich he made himself slightly crooked....more after this.

Care to review Dubya's teleprompter record?

I can't believe people would allow Rush Limbaugh to determine the parameters of their political discussion.

Took a while to understand that the Obama phenomena is a created one. It is as if we have Hollywood programing a nation..he like Harper is an actor. Having been on movie sets for almost two decades - I totaly disrespect actors - fakes who will say and do anything for glory and a fat pay cheque. Obama when first elected swaggered about like a player who just got the lead role...acting is not enough - Hitler for god sake was an actor..I want to know who is really pulling the puppet strings - well not really. They can remain anonymous...once the puppets are taken for what they are the masters are helpless..Obama is like Bush and the rest - a puppet..and what's with all the dog eared boys these days - Prince Charles, Obama and Mel Gibson - where are the real men - the real movers and shakers - why do the wanna be controllers always hide like rats? If they want power let them go pubic - but they won't because they will be seen for the inferiour robots and unamaginative utiltiarian trash that they are!
