What Would Happen If Obama Didn't Have A Teleprompter?

Do you think he could manage without one just like all the presidents did before they existed. Or do you think that would just waste his time because he would have to memorize most of his speeches taking away precious time from real work?

He does go without a teleprompter frequently. He doesn't use it at all the town hall meetings. He certainly did have one when he crushed McCain in the debates. And he didn't have one when I saw him speak here in Portland at a campaign stop. The whole "teleprompter" meme was just a lame Republican talking point used to distract from the issues.

There are also instances where you need to make specific statements, in precise ways with carefully selected words. This is what speech aids are for (powerpoint, note cards, teleprompters etc.)
In many cases, more confusion arises from trying to decide "Is my speech prop coming back online" or should I proceed to "wing it"?

Completely agree, exact wording is crucial in many cases.
I fully believe that Obama could out-talk anybody in this thread, on any issue, IRL. If that's what the thread is about.
