1. Didn't Bush use a teleprompter?

I heard some commentator say this morning that no president before Obama has used a teleprompter.

I don't believe that! There were times when Bush's eyes were moving left to right, left to right.

If he wasn't reading something from a screen in front of him, then he has a serious need for a visit with an opthomalogist!

2. The media is lying, as usual.

3. They use a teleprompter.

that's what those angled glass things are for. why have them there if they are not using them?

If it is a prepared statement, that means it is written down. So why not use a teleprompter for it. Instead of having to carry note cards. Bush used them you could tell he was looking at them.

6. Bush ATTEMPTED to use a teleprompter. It's use is predicated

on an ability to READ! more often than not he 'read' from paper or note cards.
