Q meet Q, go cry elsewhere.

Now if Obama actually meant it and is trying to spew hate speech everywhere then you can complain CONSTANTLY. Then again, that has never stopped you, why do you even care so much? Honestly? He slipped on a word, tell me you have NEVER done that ever in your life. Just because he's a President doesn't mean shit, he's still human, at least some people still show it.

Also, why the hell do people use teleprompters so much?

Flash cards or notes are less likely to be altered by someone else or less likely to fail due to faulty electronics.

Not everyone can remember all of the speech so well, I don't necessarily blame anyone. He was elected to run the country, not have to be 100% perfect in remembering a speech for any given day on the spot with a gun to his head.

Have there been any authenicated cases of someone's teleprompter text being interefered with? Not corrupted the way computerized text can get corrupted, but deliberately altered to say something other than the original?

And yes, we did promise not to turn YGO threads into dog-pile attacks on YGO.

You've never watched Bill O'Reilly's explosion? Perhaps not intentional, though, agreeably.

Oh. Hence why I retracted any point I was going to make about YGO. :eyebrow:

The things people say regardless of telemprompters being with them... I can't take this as a good point.

However, it does sound very functional if it doesn't break.

Some would say yes. If you don't look down to read your notes every five seconds, it gives makes you look confident to the masses, even if you are really looking at a teleprompter.

Actually...

I suffer from a bit of a stutter, and I actually felt very offended over the way people made an issue over some of Bush's slips. You shouldn't attribute difficulty forming speech or a propensity to confuse words with each other to a person's attitudes or intelligence.

I didn't let it pass when it was Bush, so I'll be damned if I'll stay silent while people try to do the same to Obama, whom unlike Bush I actually like.
